ABSTRACT

This study focuses on the transition from 'culture' to 'contents' in korea since the late 1990's. Culture industry has become the one of basic industries because of the economic crisis in the late 1990's. A new Korean coinage, 'culture contents' derived from Korea Culture Content Agency(KOCCA) which was founded in 2001. KOCCA was transformed to Korea Creative Content Agency(KOCCA) in 2009. The word, 'contents' has become in common use up to the present. The transition from 'culture' to 'contents' represents the industrialization of culture and the popularity of 'Korean wave'. This study discusses the capitalization of the state in neoliberal age focusing on the progress of culture industry as basic industry in Korea.
