[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The 4th Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee (26 members and 38 expert members), which will investigate and deliberate on matters related to the preservation and promotion of intangible cultural heritage, has been formed.

The Cultural Heritage Administration held the appointment ceremony for the Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee at 2 p.m. on the 14th at the National Palace Museum. The members' term is two years (until June 13, 2024), and Kim Young-woon was elected as the chairman.



The Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee appointed 13 female members (50%) and 13 members active outside the metropolitan area (50%) to consider gender equality and regional balance. Additionally, subcommittees were formed to enhance the efficiency of committee operations. Over the next two years, the members will deliberate on policies related to intangible cultural heritage in their respective fields based on their expertise and insight.
