South Korea is one of the most leading countries in Creative Industry sector. It is proven from the popularity of its creative products such as TV Shows, Music, Film, Fashion, Beauty Arts, Performing arts, and Literature. Since 1990’s the Korean wave has become a global sensation and unexpectedly developed their own local cultural products and services. As the creative industry sector produces a gigantic amount of goods the market love so dearly as the national economy of South Korea has boost up wonderfully.

It is found that the growth of South Korean’s creative industry is not only affecting the economy sector, although everything now seems to be integrated to the economy sector, there is truly more to it. More wide and diverse. Therefore, hereby I breakdown 3 other main sectors which are affected indirectly by the growth of one’s creative industry:

#1 Education

Okay now, you might get quite skeptical on how I put Seo Dal Mi’s photo as the representative from the explanation on South Korean creative industry sector to the educational field. But if you look closely, you would get the idea about how the TV shows, films, and music we are consuming really effect our perspectives upon things. South Korea creative industry has succeed on telling their values while selling their rom-com TV shows such as Startup. Just think about how many people helped out and get inspired by this mere series.

In addition to that, this kind of TV Shows and Movies gives a closer look on certain jobs to youths who most probably still confused about their future career paths. Well, of course it is with a little bit sugar coating based on the script. But we still got the point about what they do, how the office most probably looks like, and yada yada.

#2 Tourism

Through a high rate TV shows, movies, music video, and/or other branches of creative products, South Korea has invited the world to visit their tourism sites. Whether it is a theme park or a nature tourism. It is truly a win-win solution for both sectors. The creative industry sector got a great real place to shoot, as for the tourism sector got a neat promotion.

The benefits not actually only affected to the tourism sites. It also spread out to the culinary sector. There are lots of people who triggered to try Korean foods which varied from packaged food to Korean Hotpot and BBQs.

#3 Industrial Sector

The industrial sector is also known as the sector which produce the concrete products. The growing success of their creative industry sector which gives massive contribution in promoting other locally-produced products gives great benefits in other sectors such as the industrial sector.

The creative people working on the creative industry sector has successfully influence the mass to purchase their locally-produced products such as smartphone, LED TV, and even cars.

Abovementioned sectors are merely three of other sectors which are affected by the creative industry sector. There must be more to it, there is more to it. It can be seen that the creative industry plays a big role in one’s prosperity. It does not only move the economy wheel by providing job vacancies and absorbing labours, it also promotes one culture to the world. Making it well-known and sustainable. In brief, we cannot underestimate what one soft, charming sector can do to another.
