Abstract

Cultural and Creative Industries can help a country develop, one of the best examples being the Republic of Korea for the amount of culture it exports through what is known as the "Korean wave" or "Hallyu". Based on the analysis of the strategies implemented by South Korea to boost its cultural industries, a parallel is drawn with Colombia, since the cultural diversity and development of the industry in the country shows great capacity for the growth of the industry.

The laws and incentives that promoted the cultural industries in South Korea allowed the creation of a large infrastructure and new companies for the creation of content or production inside of the territory, in the midst of all this, the government has been watchful about the needs of each one of the sectors and subsectors to promote the develop of cultural industries. Therefore, it seeks to answer the question: What strategies has South Korea implemented to position its cultural industries? The research was developed through a qualitative approach of a descriptive type, with a collection of information through a documentary review of public institutions and secondary sources such as magazines and newspapers. From this it is possible to observe the importance of the State and the private sector within both industries and despite their marked differences Colombia could adapt these strategies in order to potentiate its industry.
