Korea’s content industry exports hit a record high last year, buoyed by government policies to nurture the “K-content” industry into a key growth sector, the culture ministry said Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Content exports tentatively reached $14.9 billion in 2025, compared with $14.1 billion the previous year, according to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.<\/p>\n

The number of overseas tourists who visited Korea also rose to a new high of 18.9 million last year, up from 16.3 million a year earlier.<\/p>\n

The amount of credit card spending by foreigners in Korea hit a record high of $14.1 billion, the ministry added, attributing the increase to relaxed entry policies and strengthened marketing efforts.<\/p>\n

At a press conference last week, Culture Minister Chae Hwi-young said the ministry seeks to build a 400 trillion-won “K-culture” market by 2030, up from its previous target of 300 trillion won.<\/p>\n
