The Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) hosted a series of special lectures on July 2nd and 4th, aiming to refine the perspectives of future industry professionals and sharpen their practical skill sets.

 

These sessions were crafted to navigate the rapidly shifting tides of the gaming industry while fostering a healthy ecosystem through informed awareness and hands-on expertise.

 

On the 2nd, the second special lecture took place at the Korea Game Science High School in Wanju, Jeonbuk, drawing 80 students majoring in eSports. The curriculum covered ▲ the current status and future outlook of the eSports industry, led by Secretary General Kim Cheol-hak of the Korea e-Sports Association (KeSPA), and ▲ an exploration of eSports career paths, delivered by Park Hwan-hee, a game rating specialist and former professional eSports player.

 

Following this, the third special lecture was held on the 4th at the Gyeonggi Center for Creative Economy & Innovation in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, aimed at 40 participants from the Romantic Game Youth Group—a collective of aspiring developers and entrepreneurs. The session focused on the practicalities of a game launch, including ▲ an overview of the game rating system and ▲ case studies on how to apply for and obtain ratings.

 

GRAC Chairperson Seo Tae-geon remarked, "I hope these lectures serve as a clear roadmap for the future leaders of our industry as they map out their careers and prepare for the realities of the field." The Chairperson added, "We remain committed to expanding field-oriented policy support and substantive educational opportunities to help our youth evolve into highly skilled professionals in this ever-changing landscape."
