The government will expand its support for exports of Korean cultural content.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said Monday that it will identify by 2013 30 types of Korean cultural content which have the most potential to succeed in foreign markets.

The government will provide active support for the development, production and the export of the content.

To that end, the government will increase efforts to find promising Korean cultural content and to enhance marketing activities in key markets, such as the U.S. and China.

The ministry plans to spend some 310 billion won to boost exports of cultural products, in hopes of posting exports worth seven-point-eight billion dollars in related content by 2013.
