Sharing the Future of Convergent Content with New Technologies

Korea Creative Content Agency
to Hold 2nd New Content Academy Showcase
Presenting Projects Integrating New Technologies and User Evaluation Group
Industry Experts to Share Content Trends through Talk Concerts

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency will hold the "New Content Academy Long-term Course 2nd Showcase" for two days starting from August 21 at the Hongneung Content Talent Campus and Content Culture Square in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.

This event is designed to share the educational outcomes of the New Content Academy, a training program for professionals specializing in convergence content based on new technologies. Twelve teams will exhibit projects they have created by integrating various new technologies. The showcased works include artificial intelligence (AI) creative interface content, virtual space-based experiential narrative content, and immersive media that interacts with viewers.

For the first time, the Korea Creative Content Agency will operate a "user evaluation group," allowing visitors to directly experience and evaluate the exhibited content. The aim is to assess the popularity and marketability of the project outcomes and thereby enhance the completeness of the content.

A talk concert will also be held to share trends in the content industry. On the first day, Sunyoung, CEO of YWorks Entertainment, and director Kang Yunseong, who produced Disney+ "Fine: Country Bumpkins," will participate as speakers. On the second day, Kim Taeho, co-founder and director of generative AI startup RyuTen, will give a lecture on "Changes in the Generative AI Market and Content."
