[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) announced on the 27th that it will fully open its headquarters in Naju, Jeollanam-do, and its executive office space in Seoul as spaces dedicated to K-content workers.

The spaces to be returned will be developed into offices and other facilities for content startups and creators active in various fields such as immersive technology, gaming, K-pop, film, and webtoons.

First, KOCCA will open the executive-only office space on the 17th floor of the CKL Enterprise Support Center located in Cheonggyecheon, Seoul, for free use by content companies. The space will be designed to allow content companies and creators to hold meetings and networking activities.

Previously, KOCCA had converted most of the CKL Enterprise Support Center space into residency spaces for content startups and used it as a place to provide various services necessary for business growth, such as investment and financing linkage and marketing support.

As K-content has recently emerged globally and created various added values, increasing the need to discover and support startups and creators that form the ecosystem, KOCCA decided to return the remaining executive and staff spaces in line with the government's public institution innovation policy.

The executive offices in the Naju headquarters building will also be significantly reduced. They will be converted into shared meeting rooms where employees can actively communicate with content companies and others, enabling the public institution to respond quickly to industry demands.

Additionally, KOCCA President Cho Hyunrae has decided to forgo his performance bonus for this year's management evaluation.

KOCCA explained that the Naju headquarters will be used as a space for community communication and cultural enjoyment. The content library on the second floor of the building, which houses about 100,000 items including books related to content, comics, games, films, and music, will be opened to local residents.

Cho Hyunrae, President of the Korea Creative Content Agency, said, "All facilities and spaces are prepared for content industry workers and the public," adding, "Starting with the return of the executive offices, we will further transform into an institution dedicated to the industry and the people."
