SEOUL (The Korea Herald/ANN): A Bill has been introduced to lower the weekly working hours for underage entertainers, as related concerns such as young entertainers’ health remain unaddressed.
On Sept 11, Representative Kim Jun-hyuk of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea proposed a revision to the Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act to reduce the working hours of juveniles in cultural industries, and apply different working-hour caps for different ages.
