Core Growth Engine After Semiconductors: '400 Trillion K-Culture Era' Strategy

The core of this government announcement is to build a massive national core growth engine that encompasses not only K-content but also related industries such as food, beauty, fashion, and tourism. Key support measures include injecting approximately 28 trillion won in policy financing over the next five years and making strategic investments to discover 'Super IPs (Intellectual Properties)' capable of competing in the global market.

Furthermore, tax deduction benefits for production costs, previously limited to video and webtoons, will be significantly expanded to all fields, including publishing, gaming, and music, to lower the barriers to private investment. The government also plans to establish multi-purpose K-culture hubs in major overseas cities to maximize global marketing impact. Such comprehensive government support is providing a strong rebound momentum for entertainment and content-related stock markets, which had recently experienced high volatility.

The market is reacting immediately following the policy announcement. Buying trends are spreading not only among major entertainment agencies but also scalable webtoon platforms, game developers, and even K-beauty and food export companies. In particular, companies with excellent IP scalability or those that have secured global distribution networks are being highlighted as the biggest beneficiaries, drawing the attention of foreign and institutional investors.
