What We Do
NEXT: The Next Expert Training Program
We support emerging professionals in the arts and cultural industries as they develop into specialists in international cultural exchange by providing a range of tailored opportunities at each career phase, including overseas placements, project support, and a specialized academy.
International Cultural Exchange Council
We have established a consultative body to build a close-knit network among organizations engaged in international cultural exchange and to identify future strategic directions and practical areas for cooperation, thereby laying the foundation for vitalizing international cultural exchange.
Cultural Partnership Initiative
We have expanded efforts to establish a sustainable global network of cultural professionals by building upon the Cultural Partnership Initiative(CPI), launched in 2005.
By positioning Korea as a hub for cultural exchange, we reinforce the foundation for international collaboration through capacity-building programs, workshops, and forums.
ASEAN-KOREA Partnership Project for Innovative Culture
We establish a cooperative framework to promote mutual prosperity and sustainable development between Korea and ASEAN, while advancing collaborative initiatives aimed at reinforcing the foundation for continuous cultural exchange.
Korea Season
In key countries and cities with strong potential for Korean cultural engagement, we collaborate with leading cultural institutions and major events to present a vibrant spectrum of Korean arts and culture, inviting audiences to experience their contemporary value, artistic excellence, and popular appeal.
Year of Cultural Exchanges
The “Year of Cultural Exchanges” is an official cultural initiative jointly proclaimed by two nations as part of a diplomatic agreement at the summit level.
Grounded in the cultural policies of both countries, the program is carried out through collaborative planning and execution of initiatives such as institutional partnerships, artist exchanges, and co-creation projects.
MyK FESTA
Held every June, MyK FESTA is a festival where leading industry experts come together to explore major Hallyu content and present new models for its sustainable global expansion.
The event envisions a multifaceted global platform that spans the entire spectrum of cultural industries.

We offer an online consultation platform that delivers integrated information on international cultural exchange, consolidating data that was previously scattered across various organizations and institutions.
To provide more tailored support, we also host region-specific briefing sessions led by field experts.
