Although the mobility of artists and cultural professionals between countries and international cultural exchange was extremely important, it was difficult to obtain their information about international cultural exchanges. accordingly, the korea foundation for international culture exchange, an institution in charge of international cultural exchange, established the ‘k-culture road (munhwa-ro)’, which is a comprehensive information system for international cultural exchange in 2019. the ‘k-culture road (munhwa-ro)’ is expected to contribute to the revitalization of international cultural exchanges by providing integrated information to cultural professionals, related organizations, and private organizations. the ‘k-culture road’ provides integrated information on the current status of international cultural exchange-related projects and various cultural trends promoted domestically and abroad. as such, there are 39 institutions under the ministry of culture, sports and tourism that link information on international cultural exchange projects with public data on the cultural portal. they also provide global cultural trend information through overseas correspondents in 42 countries. various international cultural exchange information is classified by exchange status, exchange support, exchange knowledge, exchange institutions, exchange policies, and east asian cultural cities. for convenience, the status of international cultural exchange projects is categorized by region, type, institution, and year. in addition, there are 478 public sector exchange groups registered in the system including governments and institutions, international organizations and ngos, performance facilities, museums, and art galleries. there are also 1,577 domestic and overseas private sector exchange groups including associations, foundations, performance halls, museum, and art galleries. they contain the main results of the survey on the status of international cultural exchange conducted for domestic cultural exchange institutions and organizations, providing various status information such as major exchange countries, exchange purpose, exchange type, exchange genre, exchange method, and difficulties. the current status of the east asian cultural city project, a jointly promoted project by korea, china, and japan, is also available. for reference, in korea, international cultural exchange policies are not only implemented by the korea foundation for international culture exchange, but also by various public institutions under the ministry of culture, sports and tourism including arts council korea, korea arts management service, korea creative content agency, korea film council, and king sejong institute foundation by genre and field.
