The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Creative Content Agency, known as KOCCA, said Monday they will back production of content that combines popular music intellectual property with new technologies such as artificial intelligence and extended reality.
KOCCA announced the “2026 Support for Development of Music Content Converging New Technologies” program and will accept applications through April 14. The program totals 2.949 billion won and will select 12 projects.
Support will be offered in two areas: AI-based music performance production and music video production using new technologies. For AI-based performances, the program targets content that applies AI across the full production process, providing up to 290 million won per project for about three projects.
For music video production, the program supports video content using technologies such as XR, virtual reality and augmented reality. It will provide up to 220 million won per project for about nine projects. Domestic popular music agencies and production companies planning performances, music videos or other video content using new technologies may apply.
KOCCA said it expects the program to expand production of technology-based music content and strengthen the competitiveness of South Korea’s music industry. Details are available on KOCCA’s website, and applicants must apply through the online system by April 14.
