I am Sang-hyuk Han, chairman of the Korea Communications Commission of the Republic of Korea. Welcome to the International Broadcasting Co-Production Conference 2021.

The spread of non-contact culture due to Covid-19, and the ongoing digital transformation,
is reshaping not just our society, but the media environment as well.

Co-production brings diverse countries with different cultures together and allows them
to share what they have and complement what the other lacks. It is a meaningful endeavor
where the parties plan and produce content together.

The meeting of cutting-edge technology with broadcasting personnel‘s creative ideas
from around the world will make content more rich and diverse. It will open up a new path
for co-production.

I hope by discussing successful cases of content production and collaboration
at the International Broadcasting Co-production Conference, we can find a growth engine
to promote co-production and glimpse into the future.
