Expectations for Video Industry Development, Regional Promotion, and Economic Revitalization

Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gong Young-min) announced that it will promote the ‘Goheung-gun Film and Drama Incentive Support Project’ to develop the video industry, promote the region, and revitalize the economy.

The incentive support project applies to domestic and international feature films and TV dramas that are filmed at least three times in Goheung-gun from January 1, 2023, with a minimum expenditure of 15 million KRW. The project supports 30-50% of the recognized expenditure amount within the county, up to a maximum of 30 million KRW.

The support items include a total of 11 categories, including extra cast fees, accommodation expenses, meal expenses, food supplies, fuel costs, vehicle rental fees, set production costs, location rental fees, service hiring fees, accounting and settlement fees, and extra cast fees. Submitted works are reviewed to determine the recognized amount for support.

This year, it is possible to apply concurrently with the Jeollanam-do Film and Drama Production Incentive Support Project; however, the same recognized expenditure items (accommodation expenses, meal expenses, vehicle rental fees, and fuel costs) will not be supported. Also, the support may close early if the budget is exhausted.

A county official stated, “The incentive project generates local economic income effects through direct expenses spent by film crews staying in Goheung during filming. After the broadcast of films and dramas, it expands into attracting tourists and economic effects through regional promotion.”
