The company which started from Figure 2. Sale structure of Jcontentree a newspaper company, IS Daily Sports, now belongs to a media company, Joongang Media Network. (Appendix 1) 2012 Figure 3. Management structure of Jcontentree 27% 73% 2015F Source: Company report (2013) Platform: ‘Root’ of Jconten‘tree’ Platform part plays a role of cashcow for the company. The platform sector comprises movie 36% (Megabox) and magazine (Joongang M&B) parts. Megabox manages multiplex theaters and currently has 20% of the entire movie market. (Appendix 2) Also, Joongang M&B publishes 64% magazines which have high awareness in Korea. The number of platforms in mass media industry is rare because of enormous initial cost. It also has entry barrier by being selected with awareness. Therefore, having famous platforms means that the company generates profit continuously. Content Platform Content: ‘Fruit’ of Jconten‘tree’ Content part, especially broadcasting, has grown up over the market because of their superiority in making content. Dramahouse&JcontentHub, which is a subsidiary of the Source: Company data, team estimates company, is in charge of broadcasting channel (JTBC) from production to distribution. In other words, Jcontentree provides and distributes TV programs for JTBC simultaneously. Therefore, it is expected that Jcontentree has a chance to make double profit for one TV program of JTBC. In case of Q channel, it is aired on various TV program by purchasing 2nd copyright of the TV program.

Worldwide content sales. Industry Overview and Competitive Positioning (Unit: KRW billion ) 1,994 2,100 1,890 Industry overview; the period of content has finally arrived. 1,782 The Korea media industry is now the transitional period from platform stage to content stage. (Figure 4) In the past, the main part of the media industry was the platform industry. However, 1,400 the future of the media industry is expected to be driven by the content industry. According to the diversification of the platforms (Smartphone and Tablet PC), consumers could actively choose content regardless of time and location. So, quality of content ‘itself’ (not platforms) is 700 the main factor for consumers to choose content. Therefore, further media industry will be led by the content industry.

Average revenue per unit (Unit: KRW) High potential in Korea content market Edited ARPU First, the price of content is rising. In broadcasting market, average revenue per user in Korea (by GDP level and viewing time) is KRW 9,000 compared to that of USA, KRW 21,196, considering both GDP level and USA 21,196 viewing time (Figure 6, Appendix 4). Thus, there is much possibility for a price rise of content Korea 9,000 as the media industry develops. Second, the quantity of content is increasing. As broadcasting is converted from analogue to digital in 2013, the compatibility of VOD (Video on demand) is Multiples 2.36x improved. Therefore, more platforms can distribute content easily, and it leads to an increase Source: IMF, emarketer, Korea Communications Commission in sales of VOD. With Japan, VOD sales increased 123% after broadcasting converted to team estimates digital in 2011. (Appendix 5) Figure 7. Change of viewer ratings in USA Cable channel is main fruit (Unit: % ) This potential is prominent especially in cable channels. Nowadays, content of cable channel 60 gets competitiveness because it can make more attractive content without regulations seen in 55.3 terrestrial channels. Cable channels can produce violent and sexually suggestive content which fill viewer’s need. Therefore, the border between cable channels and terrestrial channels 50 49.5 becomes vague as viewer ratings of cable channels rise. In USA, viewer ratings of cable 44.4 channels outdid that of terrestrial channels in 2002. (Figure 7) And Korean broadcasting market is also showing the signs of this trend. For example, viewer ratings of “Answering 40 38.9 1994” aired on tvn (cable channel) got first place for the same time. Thus, it’s not far in the 35 future that cable channels can compete evenly with terrestrial channels. (Appendix 6) 30 Figure 8.

    Lee & Kim / The Next Growth Strategy for Hallyu 79 THE NEXT GROWTH STRATEGY FOR HALLYU A Comparative Analysis of Global Entertainment Firms Yeon W. Lee Seoul School of Integrated Science and Technology [email protected] Kyuchan Kim Korea Culture and Tourism Institute [email protected] Abstract Previous policy approaches on Hallyu have been focused on the role of government engagement, particularly in fostering diversity and equal business opportunities for small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs). However, a more strategic approach to the cultural industries should be implemented by carefully examining the role of the private sector, particularly the role of large enterprises (LEs). his is important because LEs have an overarching and fundamentally diferentiated role in increasing the size of industry through their expansive value-creating activities and diversiied business areas. his study focuses on the complementary roles of SMEs and LEs in facilitating the growth of Hallyu by bringing in the perspective of value chain diversiication and the modiied value chain framework for the ilm industry. By conducting a comparative analysis of the global entertainment irms in the US, China, and Japan, this study reveals how LEs in the global market enter and explore new industries within culture and continue to enhance their competitiveness. By forming a business ecosystem through linking their value-creating activities as the platform of network, this study looks into the synergistic role among enterprises of diferent size and scale and suggests that Korea’s policy for Hallyu should reorient toward a new growth strategy that encourages the integrative network of irms where the value activities of LEs serve as the platform for convergence.
