Copyright in Korea KOREA COPYRIGHT WHITE PAPER Opening Message 발간등록번호 : 11-1371000-000201-10 2018 Annual Report on Copyright in Korea KOREA COPYRIGHT WHITE PAPER Opening message The rapid development of the digital technology has brought forth an environment in which we can easily create and share our own contents with people around the world without delay and this phenomenon has been contributing to the growth of our cultural industry as a whole. At the same time, there is a growing emphasis on the importance of copyright policies implemented by each country to generate an atmosphere in which the creative contents are continuously recognized for their value so that they can maintain their global competitiveness. The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism(MCST) of the Republic of Korea has been making its utmost to support the growth of Korea's unique contents represented by the Korean Wave. In this efforts, the MCST strengthened the rights of creators and laid the foundations for a fair copyright system through formulating copyright policies and systems that can accomodate and reflect the rapid changes of the digital technology. The Ministry has also sought to create a copyright ecosystem of balance and coexistence. These two elements are prerequisites for sustainable growth of content industry amidst rapidly evolving copyright environment including the advent of the 4th industrial revolution era. As part of its effort to improve the copyright ecosystem of Korea in the form of enhancing the rights of the creators and ensuring fair compensation in the market, the Korean government expanded the scope of business premises which are subject to royalties for the music they play during their business hours. Moreover, the MCST increased the portion entitled to the right holders of music, namely authors, performers and phonogram producers, for the use of music for interactive transmissions from 60% to 65% of the total sales. The Ministry also raised the remuneration rate for the use of works for textbook-making purposes by 10% from the rate of 2016. Meanwhile, the Korean government improved the threshold for the exploitation of the undistributed amount of royalties and remuneration by the collective management organizations by reinforcing the requirements for using undistributed royalties and remunerations for the public interest that are provided under the copyright law as well as establishing a new retention money system in an effort to establish a basis for fair distribution and facilitation of use of copyrighted works. The MCST reinforced its efforts to provide adequate information and assist transactions through the 'Digital Copyright Exchange Service' to facilitate use of copyrighted works. The Korean government also attempted to come up with solutions to copyright infringing actions committed on foreign web sites since May 2018 to properly respond to the calls from the various stakeholders for the counter-measures to be adopted and implemented at the government level against online copyright 2 Opening message 2018 Annual Report on Copyright in Korea KOREA COPYRIGHT WHITE PAPER infringement. As a result, 12 operators of web sites dedicated to distribution of illegal materials online had been arrested and 22 copyright-infringing web sites had been shutdown alone in 2018. The Ministry is continuously making its utmost to reinforce Korea's international competitiveness in the field of cultural services and copyright. According to the Bank of Korea’s ‘2018 Intellectual Property Rights Trade Balance’ announcement made in May 2019, the trade balance of copyright recorded US$1.4 billion surplus(the amount of surplus increased by US$810 million compared to 2017). In cooperation with the relevant international organizations, the MCST has been assisting dispute resolution in the field of copyright and related rights. This White Paper presents to you the copyright policies that had been implemented by the Korean government during the year of 2018 in the form of five separate chapters : (1)Overview of Copyright Policies; (2)Copyright Protection and Awareness Improvement; (3)Activation of the Copyright Industry and its Use; (4)Copyright Conflicts and Settlement; and (5)Improvement of the Copyright System. The Appendix is also provided in order to help readers to have glimpse of the relevant statistics and the general facts about copyright-related organizations in an attempt to be of assistance to those who are interested in copyright. It is my sincere wish that this White Paper broadens readers' understanding on Korea's copyright system and industry and could be of useful reference to rightholders, users and researchers and employees in the cultural contents field as well as anyone with keen interest in copyright and related rights. Korean movies and pop music have been exercising wider influences and enjoyed by people all around the world. I believe that the efforts made by the Korean government to raise the public awareness on the value of copyrighted works have in part contributed to this phenomenon. The MCST will continue to push ahead with copyright policies to improve creative environment and to put on firm basis for a fair cultural ecosystem so that the content industry of Korea can work as one of the leading industry for the economic growth of the nation as well as the systemic foundation for the content industry.

Korea Copyright Commission Ⅲ. Korea Copyright Protection Agency Ⅰ. Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism 1 Organization and History Currently, the government ministry with overall responsibility for the formulation and enforcement of copyright policies in Korea is the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (hereinafter referred to as “the Ministry”). The Ministry has established copyright policies and implemented a wide range of activities related to copyright protection since 1987. Following several organizational reshuffles, the Ministry has established its current system of organization with four divisions in the Copyright Bureau (Copyright Policy Division, Copyright Industry Division, Copyright Protection Division and Cultural Trade and Cooperation Division). With the advent of the digital network era, the creation, distribution, and usage of copyrighted works have become more diverse, leading to an increased demand for and functions of related policies, as well as the enlargement of related divisions. Initially there was only one division handling copyright-related matters when such work came under the control of the Ministry (then known as the “Ministry of Culture and Public Information”). Approximately 20 years thereafter, it grew to have four divisions and one team in charge of copyright matters and the staff number also increased from 10 to about 60. 8 Introduction to Government and Public Institutions Related to Copyright The human resource increase is primarily attributable to the appointment of a corps of copyright special judicial police officers. These police officers are assigned to regional offices in major cities of Korea (Seoul, Busan, Sejong, Gwangju and Daegu) and their major responsibility is to crack down on illegal copyright infringements. The history of structural reorganization with respect to copyright policy within the Ministry is as follows: <History of Structural Reorganization Concerning Copyright> July 1968 Copyright administration transferred from the Ministry of Education December 1987 Copyright Division established within the Ministry of Culture and Public Information August 2005 Copyright Division transferred from the Culture Policy Bureau to the Culture Industry Bureau Following a government reorganization, name changed from “Copyright Division” to “Copyright July 2006 Team” May 2007 Copyright Team enlarged and divided into Copyright Policy Team and Copyright Industry Team February 2008 “Copyright Protection Bureau” established Computer program protection-related affairs transferred from the Ministry of Information and March 2008 Communication to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism August 2008 Copyright Protection Team established January 2009 Trade Cooperation Team established in the Copyright Policy Bureau

  • Welcome to Korea Day: from Diasporic to Hallyu Fan-Nationalism
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 3764–3780 1932–8036/20190005 Welcome to Korea Day: From Diasporic to Hallyu Fan-Nationalism IRINA LYAN1 University of Oxford, UK With the increasing appeal of Korean popular culture known as the Korean Wave or hallyu, fans in Israel among Korean studies students have joined—and even replaced— ethnic Koreans in performing nationalism beyond South Korea’s borders, creating what I call hallyu fan-nationalism. As an unintended consequence of hallyu, such nationalism enables non-Korean hallyu fans to take on the empowering roles of cultural experts, educators, and even cultural ambassadors to promote Korea abroad. The symbolic shift from diasporic to hallyu nationalism brings to the fore nonnationalist, nonessentialist, and transcultural perspectives in fandom studies. In tracing the history of Korea Day from the 2000s to the 2010s, I found that hallyu fan-students are mobilized both by the macro mission to promote a positive image of Korea in their home societies and by the micro motivation to repair their own, often stigmatized, self-image. Keywords: transcultural fandom studies, hallyu, Korean Wave, Korean studies, Korea Day, diasporic nationalism While talking with Israeli students enrolled in Korean studies (mostly female fans of Korean popular culture) in an effort to understand their motivations behind organizing Korea Day and promoting Korean culture in Israel in general, I was surprised when some of them used the Hebrew word hasbara, which literally translates as “explanation.” As a synonym for propaganda, hasbara refers to the public diplomacy of Israel that aims to promote a positive image of Israel to the world and to counter its delegitimization.

  • Cross-National Study on the Perception of the Korean Wave and Cultural Hybridity in Indonesia and Malaysia Using Discourse on Social Media
    sustainability Article Cross-National Study on the Perception of the Korean Wave and Cultural Hybridity in Indonesia and Malaysia Using Discourse on Social Media Yu Lim Lee 1, Minji Jung 1, Robert Jeyakumar Nathan 2 and Jae-Eun Chung 1,* 1 Department of Consumer Science, Sungkyunkwan University, Sungkyunkwan-ro 25-2, Jongno-gu, Seoul 03063, Korea; [email protected] (Y.L.L.); [email protected] (M.J.) 2 Faculty of Business, Multimedia University, Melaka 75450, Malaysia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-2-760-0508 Received: 25 June 2020; Accepted: 24 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: In the era of globalization, due to the prevalent cultural exchange between countries, inflows of foreign cultural products can enrich local culture by hybridizing local and global culture together. Although there have been numerous studies on cultural hybridity using qualitative interviews with recipients of foreign cultural products in single countries, cross-national studies that examine the national characteristics that facilitate or impede cultural hybridity remain scarce. The purpose of the present study is to identify the factors that promote or hinder cultural hybridity between the Korean Wave and Muslim culture by probing the similarities and differences in social media data on Korean cultural products between Indonesia and Malaysia using a semantic network analysis. The results of the study uncovered the three factors that promote cultural hybridity (‘Asian identity’, policies emphasizing ‘unity in ethnic diversity’, and ‘local consumers xenocentrism’) and the two hindering elements (‘a conservative nature of religion’ and ‘discrimination between ethnic groups’). Theoretical contributions and practical implications are also provided for promoting cultural hybridity.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • The K-Pop Wave: an Economic Analysis
    The K-pop Wave: An Economic Analysis Patrick A. Messerlin1 Wonkyu Shin2 (new revision October 6, 2013) ABSTRACT This paper first shows the key role of the Korean entertainment firms in the K-pop wave: they have found the right niche in which to operate— the ‘dance-intensive’ segment—and worked out a very innovative mix of old and new technologies for developing the Korean comparative advantages in this segment. Secondly, the paper focuses on the most significant features of the Korean market which have contributed to the K-pop success in the world: the relative smallness of this market, its high level of competition, its lower prices than in any other large developed country, and its innovative ways to cope with intellectual property rights issues. Thirdly, the paper discusses the many ways the K-pop wave could ensure its sustainability, in particular by developing and channeling the huge pool of skills and resources of the current K- pop stars to new entertainment and art activities. Last but not least, the paper addresses the key issue of the ‘Koreanness’ of the K-pop wave: does K-pop send some deep messages from and about Korea to the world? It argues that it does. Keywords: Entertainment; Comparative advantages; Services; Trade in services; Internet; Digital music; Technologies; Intellectual Property Rights; Culture; Koreanness.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • Media/Entertainment Rise of Webtoons Presents Opportunities in Content Providers
    Media/Entertainment Rise of webtoons presents opportunities in content providers The rise of webtoons Overweight (Maintain) Webtoons are emerging as a profitable new content format, just as video and music streaming services have in the past. In 2015, webtoons were successfull y monetized in Korea and Japan by NAVER (035420 KS/Buy/TP: W241,000/CP: W166,500) and Kakao Industry Report (035720 KS/Buy/TP: W243,000/CP: W158,000). In late 2018, webtoon user number s April 9, 2020 began to grow in the US and Southeast Asia, following global monetization. This year, NAVER Webtoon’s entry into Europe, combined with growing content consumption due to COVID-19 and the success of several webtoon-based dramas, has led to increasing opportunities for Korean webtoon companies. Based on Google Trends Mirae Asset Daewoo Co., Ltd. data, interest in webtoons is hitting all-time highs across major regions. [Media ] Korea is the global leader in webtoons; Market outlook appears bullish Jeong -yeob Park Korea is the birthplace of webtoons. Over the past two decades, Korea’s webtoon +822 -3774 -1652 industry has created sophisticated platforms and content, making it well-positioned for [email protected] growth in both price and volume. 1) Notably, the domestic webtoon industry adopted a partial monetization model, which is better suited to webtoons than monthly subscriptions and ads and has more upside potent ial in transaction volume. 2) The industry also has a well-established content ecosystem that centers on platforms. We believe average revenue per paying user (ARPPU), which is currently around W3,000, can rise to over W10,000 (similar to that of music and video streaming services) upon full monetization.
