Exports of S. Korean Games Over 10-times Larger than K-POP Exports

Sales of South Korean games overseas were found to be over ten times larger than K-Pop related exports in 2012.
 
The Korea Finance Corporation said in a report Monday that exports of South Korean games totaled some two-point-six billion dollars in 2012.
 
This is about eleven times the overseas sales of South Korean music, or K-Pop, and 57 percent of exports of South Korean cultural contents.

Total global game sales amounted to 111-point-seven billion dollars in 2012, or nearly ten percent of South Korea’s nominal gross domestic product.
