The funds will be strategically allocated to three areas. In the cultural enjoyment sector, the “K-Museum Regional Touring Exhibition Support Project” (125 million won) will provide citizens with free access to curated exhibitions. In the education sector, the “Dream Studio New Base Institution Public Offering Project” (100 million won) and the “Dreamdarac Culture and Arts School” (40 million won) will establish a foundation for free comics and webtoon education.


In the creator support sector, which has attracted the “Kakao Creative Foundation Creative Space Support” (160 million won) for three consecutive years, the agency will collaborate with the Bucheon Workers’ Health Center to support the health of creators.



Paek Jonghun, President of the Korea Manhwa Contents Agency, stated, “This will serve as a catalyst that not only saves Bucheon City’s finances but also returns several times the benefits to citizens and the industry.”
