“…The requirement to produce and export a certain number of domestic films in exchange for a license to import foreign films. It should be noted that, at that time, foreign films were often considered more profitable than domestic films [6]. Export high-quality Korean movies to earn foreign currency and use the money to produce new Korean movies.…”

The term ‘Korean wave’ is broadly defined as the huge achievement of South Korean cultural economy industries around the world. It represented a big milestone when South Korea’s movie “Parasite” won the Oscar for Best Picture, which was the first movie from non-English speaking country to win such award in the history. While lots of Korean filmmakers have been trying to produce their own flims for more than 100 years, the cinema of South Korea officially started in 1945 and have been strongly influenced by events and political forces. This paper mainly studies the content and influence of the Motion Picture Law (MPL) issued during Park Chung Hee era in the 1960s and later strict censorship and propaganda in 1970s under Park’s government control. It is worth exploring why the Korean film industry can achieve such achievements, and what role the MPL played in it. The experience and lessons are worthy of reference. This paper briefly reviews the development history of Korean film from a historical perspective, introduces the legal content and the historical background, and then discusses and analyzes its influence on the positive and negative sides at that time. Looking back at the twists and turns of the Korean movie industry is also of great significance to the development of other countries.

“…Our proposed model, DRECE (short for Dimension REduction, Clustering, and classification for Explainable AI), sets itself apart from previous research in several ways. Firstly, DRECE specifically targets the Korean film market, considering its rapid growth and the significant impact of the Korean Wave on the global entertainment industry [ 36 , 37 ]. Secondly, DRECE integrates XAI into the model, enabling the interpretation and understanding of factors affecting the box office and addressing the growing importance of explainable AI (XAI) in the film industry [ 38 , 39 ].…”

The Korean film market has been rapidly growing, and the importance of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) in the film industry is also increasing. In this highly competitive market, where producing a movie incurs substantial costs, it is crucial for film industry professionals to make informed decisions. To assist these professionals, we propose DRECE (short for Dimension REduction, Clustering, and classification for Explainable artificial intelligence), an XAI-powered box office classification and trend analysis model that provides valuable insights and data-driven decision-making opportunities for the Korean film industry. The DRECE framework starts with transforming multi-dimensional data into two dimensions through dimensionality reduction techniques, grouping similar data points through K-means clustering, and classifying movie clusters through machine-learning models. The XAI techniques used in the model make the decision-making process transparent, providing valuable insights for film industry professionals to improve the box office performance and maximize profits. With DRECE, the Korean film market can be understood in new and exciting ways, and decision-makers can make informed decisions to achieve success.

“…Since 1993, the government has supported the creative industry as a new strategic industry leading economic growth, fundamentally changing the nature of government intervention (Parc 2018). Producing and exporting AVPs became as institutionally supported as the industries of electronics and cars once were.…”

Aggressive yet benign: Korea’s engagement in creative industries in Africa

Korea's global strategy of disseminating its audiovisual products (AVPs) reflects developmentalism driven by short-term commercial motivation. In Africa, however, the Korean government distributes AVPs free of charge, sometimes in the form of foreign aid with the aim of creating a market in the long run. This paper suggests 'granted developmentalism' as an explanation for Korea's expansion strategy into Africa. Whereas growing cultural transactions within the global South provoke protectionist narratives, Korean AVPs are viewed as rather benign or even inspiring despite their aggressive developmentalism. Drawn on policy analysis and field research, this paper seeks to understand the dissemination and reception of Korean AVPs in South Africa and Ghana. The current pattern of Korean engagement, characterised by provision of entertainment content on the digital platform, is boosting its image as a bearer of soft power. Nonetheless, this strategy may result in reproducing existing inequality in societies that are marked by acute digital divide.
