Sharing Cases and Discussing System Improvements
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency, together with the Content Dispute Mediation Committee and the Korean Entertainment Law Association, will hold the "Content Dispute Mediation Forum" on October 15 at the Bankers Club in Jung-gu, Seoul.

This year, the forum will focus on "Artificial Intelligence (AI), Content, and the Reconstruction of Disputes," addressing new types of disputes arising from the proliferation of generative AI and platforms. The keynote speech will be delivered by Kim Daesik, a professor at KAIST, who will examine the impact of AI development on human creativity and imitation structures, as well as on society and culture as a whole, under the theme "The Reality and Mimesis of the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Era."
In the thematic presentations, Lee Jaekyung, a professor at Konkuk University, will analyze the spread of K-Culture and related cultural and legal issues arising from the convergence of traditional arts and popular culture. Jang Boeun, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, will explain the patterns of conflict caused by changes in the industry structure, focusing on exclusive contract disputes in K-pop. Lawyer Sung Wonyoung will address copyright and contract disputes that occur in broadcast formats such as variety shows.
The general discussion will be held under the theme "Revision of the Content Industry Promotion Act and the Role of Mediation." All presenters, along with Kim Wookil, in-house counsel at Google Korea, and Yoo Sojeong, head of the policy and legal team at the Korea Music Content Association, will discuss the changes in content disputes in the AI era and institutional responses.
