South Korea’s Culture Ministry said recently it will focus on reviving the pandemic-hit culture and tourism industries here, as well as continue to support the spread of “hallyu” or the Korean Wave, around the world in 2021.

Under the plan, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism laid out four major policy goals for the year, which were then divided into 15 agenda items, such as supporting sectors that took a blow from the new coronavirus, helping content producers go digital, strengthening promotions of Korean content and expanding Korean language and culture education abroad, Yonhap news agency reported.
