KOCCA to Remedy Unfair Practices in the Content Industry

Resumption of Operations for 'Gosanghan Counseling Center'

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency announced on the 4th that they will operate the 'Gosanghan Counseling Center' to protect the rights of workers in the content industry. It is a comprehensive counseling window that supports one-on-one, one-stop consultations with legal and labor experts to prevent unfair practices and provide relief for damages. The counseling functions in the areas of fairness, including legal advice for preventing unfair practices and relief for damages, labor consulting for improving working conditions, and contract consulting, have been integrated to greatly enhance convenience and accessibility.

Last year, there were 138 legal and labor consultations conducted, including 24 in-depth face-to-face consultations. This represents an increase of more than 16% compared to before the center was established, proving its contribution to spreading a culture of fairness within the content industry.

This year, the Korea Creative Content Agency plans to prevent damages in advance through grievance counseling and education covering all unfair practices such as forced unfair contracts, wage arrears, and workplace harassment. An official stated, "We are also preparing practical relief measures such as contract review and litigation cost support as follow-up support after counseling."

Content industry workers who wish to receive counseling can apply via email or phone. Counseling will be operated continuously until the budget is exhausted. For more details, please refer to the Korea Creative Content Agency website.
