The Korea Creative Content Agency established the Korean joint pavilion to enhance the competitiveness of domestic companies and build a foundation for overseas expansion.

They promoted a variety of games ranging from educational to party types and conducted 203 contract consultations.

A representative from the Korea Creative Content Agency stated, "All participating companies discussed new or completed works with buyers interested in investment, distribution, and co-production, and pursued follow-up networking and business plans." They added, "To facilitate effective export consultations, we set up business meeting rooms and provided local interpreters and support staff. Together with the Korea Boardgame Industry Association, we surveyed business trends and reviewed future support directions."
