There's a place called the Culture and Creativity Fusion Center in Seoul... that recently opened its doors.<br />Anyone can go to the center and use the equipment there free of charge to produce new content.<br />Our Ji Myung-kil has more. <br />In this studio,... dancers' graceful movements are recorded by a computer using motion capture technology.<br />With the digital 3D models that are created, people can study the choreography or create something new.<br />Here,... anyone who has the skills to shoot and edit films can come and make their own movies.<br /><br />At the new cultural center, people can do anything from produce records or a broadcast to make a film or performance.<br />There's even one-on-one mentoring for anyone who's interested in creative work but needs a little advice.<br />And the best part is that all of the facilities are available for free.<br /><br /><br />"The government and entertainment companies are giving opportunities to people who are willing to do business in the cultural realm by providing them with such facilities."<br /><br /><br />"The government is trying to help people who don't know how to start a cultural business by providing funding and consulting programs."<br /><br />This culture center is part of the government's efforts to transform small ideas and the products of a creative imagination into commercial mass media products.<br />The best creations will be sent to venture companies for production.<br /><br /><br />"I hope the culture center will help Korea's cultural content industry to create a fusion of new ideas and the culture industry,... as we are lagging behind globally."<br /><br />To broaden the platform for the development of new cultural content,... the government plans to open a Culture and Creativity Academy by the end of 2016 for research and development programs and to foster new talent.<br />By the end of 2017... the so-called K-Culture Valley will open with a multi-functional performance hall, a pop music-themed amusement park and a Hallyu Street where tourists can enjoy elements of Korean mass media and pop culture. <br />J
