On the afternoon of the 21st, First Vice Minister Kim Young-soo of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) visited the Game Talent Institute and the Global Game Hub Center in Pangyo to discuss the direction of gaming policy with young game developers.

First Vice Minister Kim began by observing a class at the Game Talent Institute and inspecting facilities such as the testbeds at the Global Game Hub Center. He also visited the office of resident company Super Rabbit Games to encourage the staff.

Following this, he held a roundtable discussion with young game developers. Attendees included students nearing graduation from the Game Talent Institute, members of the National Game Development Club Alliance, young founders from Lighters and Wonder Potion, representatives from Neowiz and Smilegate who support indie games, officials from Korea Venture Investment Corp and Daesung Private Equity, and representatives from the Korea Game Users Association and the YMCA Game Consumer Center.

Participants requested the creation of an environment where young founders can continue to take on challenges even after failure, as well as the provision of practical office spaces and strengthened investment support. Game user representatives noted that while transparency has increased due to the mandatory disclosure of probability-type item information, tangible damage relief for users is also crucial.

First Vice Minister Kim emphasized that this roundtable was a venue to listen to the diverse voices of young game developers. He stated, "The new growth engine for the Korean gaming industry lies with the youth. The Ministry will do its utmost to ensure that young people can easily take on the challenge of game development with fresh and creative ideas and help their potential grow on the global stage."
