South Korea wants to build its own Hallyu Hollywood

Sunday, 08 Sep, 2024 0

South Korea aims to leverage its ever popular Hallyu culture with a self contained Hollywood style studio complex.

The government hopes to showcase K-pop, drama and art with a major 3.3 square kilometre complex that would house TV and film studios, stage schools, gaming facilities and entertainment.

“Our plan is to create a giant entertainment city,” South Korea culture minister Yu In-Chon told Bloomberg TV.

“The government can draw a blueprint and offer infrastructure. We think companies will follow us with investments in telecoms, Internet along with financial services.”

It would also house full-size replicas of Joseon dynasty palaces as TV and movie location backdrops.

South Korea is hosting a large-scale Hallyu festival next summer to help export Korean culture further on a global scale.
