Since starting the 'SAC On Screen' project in 2013, the Seoul Arts Center has produced and distributed works in various genres every year, promoting Korean performances domestically and internationally. In response to the explosive increase in demand for performance videos during the pandemic, it operated the performance video production studio 'Silgam' and plans to dramatically expand the distribution of performance videos through the launch of 'Digital Stage.'

Jang Hyung-jun, president of the Seoul Arts Center, said, "The Digital Stage platform is a new communication channel where people can experience high-quality content in their daily lives," adding, "We will continue to provide the best content and maintain an archive to become a beloved platform."
