Cultural Heritage Administration Partners with Korea Broadcast Writers Association to Develop Intangible Heritage Content

Agreement Signed on the 22nd
163 Recorded Videos, 144 Books, and More to Be Provided

The Cultural Heritage Administration and the Korea Broadcast Writers Association will sign a work agreement at 11 a.m. on October 22 at Gyejo-dang in Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jongno-gu, Seoul, to promote the creation of K-Intangible Heritage content.

The Cultural Heritage Administration will provide the Korea Broadcast Writers Association with intangible heritage records accumulated since 1969 to encourage the development and utilization of popular culture content. A vast collection of materials-including 163 recorded videos, 144 books, 54 oral autobiographies, and 260 academic research volumes-will serve as creative resources for writers.

Founded in 1957, the Korea Broadcast Writers Association is the only copyright trust management organization for broadcast writers in Korea. It has over 4,800 members active in various fields such as drama, entertainment, educational programming, and radio.

The Cultural Heritage Administration initiated this collaboration after noting that Korean intangible heritage was featured as a key theme in the 2024 drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines" and the film "K-Pop Demon Hunters." The agreement includes the active use of intangible heritage academic research materials, motivation for broadcast writers' creative activities, joint content production, and expanded human resource exchanges.

The Cultural Heritage Administration stated, "We hope that intangible heritage will become more accessible to the public and that the value of 'K-Heritage,' the root of K-culture, will spread worldwide."
