Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism Conducts Outreach Copyright Education

By the End of This Year, 50 Sessions: "We Must Get Used to Copyright Issues"

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Copyright Commission will conduct 50 on-site copyright education sessions by the end of this year. To prevent unfair contracts for creators, they will teach about 2,000 people including content creators, aspiring writers (middle, high school, and university students), and emerging writers.

This is part of the strengthened creator rights protection measures established following the controversy over the comic "Geomjeong Gomu-shin." Park Bo-gyun, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, stated, "Creators need to become familiar with copyright issues," and added, "We will deliver related knowledge in an easy and enjoyable way."

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will invite field experts as instructors, reflecting creators' opinions. These include Lee Sang-mi, the author of "Ghostman," Hong Bi-chira, the author of "Jungjeung Oesang Center," and lawyers Kim Sung-joo and Kim Sang-hyun from the law firm Deoksu. They will share various contract cases and provide essential copyright information that must be known. After the education sessions, free legal consultations will also be offered to pre-registered participants.
