How’s it going?
My name is Yeong-gi Jo,
President of Korea Association of Game Industry (K-GAMES).
-
The Korea Association of Game Industry (K-GAMES) is a representative organization of the Korean game industry, established in 2004 to improve regulatory conditions and raise public awareness of games.
-
Since then, the history of the Association has been written alongside the “success story” of Korea’s game industry. It has identified and challenged unfair regulations that hinder industrial growth, led discussions for their alleviation, and worked to institutionalize support measures driven by on-the-ground needs.
-
Over the past 20 years, Korea’s game industry has grown into a market worth over 23 trillion won and now accounts for a dominant share of the country’s content exports, firmly establishing itself as a key driver of national economic growth.
-
Today, the global game industry stands at the forefront of a new era marked by paradigm shifts and technological convergence, heralding a transformative future. Intense competition is unfolding to secure leadership, and amidst waves of challenge and innovation, new opportunities are beginning to emerge.
-
The Korea Association of Game Industry places the highest value on connection, communication, and collaboration, and will continue to stand alongside the Korean game industry. Domestically, we will work to improve regulations that hinder industry growth and promote a more positive perception of games. Internationally, we will serve as a bridgehead to help Korean companies achieve success in the global market.
-
We kindly ask for your continued warm interest and support for the Association and the Korean game industry.
-
Thank you.
