The Korea Federation of Cultural Centers operates the portal 'Regional N Culture,' and the cable industry operates the 'Regional Win-Win Platform' Gazi. Established in 1962 for the balanced development of about 231 local cultural centers nationwide, the Korea Federation of Cultural Centers has served as a repository of regional culture and a development center for the creation of new culture. The 'Regional N Culture' portal is a regional cultural resource platform that provides a catalog of 1.4 million regional cultural materials including publications from local cultural centers nationwide and about 30,000 full-text viewing services. The 'Regional Win-Win Platform Gazi' is a mobile app service developed and operated by Homechoice, led by the Korea Cable TV Broadcasting Association and supported by cable TV broadcasters nationwide, allowing anyone easy access to diverse and useful regional information centered on regional news and regional channel content produced by 78 cable TV zones nationwide.


Through this business agreement, about 9,000 'Regional N Culture' contents based on geographic location will be preferentially provided in the 'Eodigaji' menu of 'Gazi.'


Kim Tae-yul, CEO of Homechoice, stated, "Taking this agreement as an opportunity, we will contribute to the development of local communities not only by promoting Korean regional culture but also by expanding related programs, and we will take the lead in discovering business models for creating various added values in the future."



Kim Tae-woong, Chairman of the Korea Federation of Cultural Centers, said, "I hope that the combination of the cable TV broadcasting platform and the unique regional content owned by local cultural centers will greatly contribute to the development of regional culture and the cultural industry."
