President Lee Jae Myung will appear on a special Arirang TV program discussing the future vision of the K-pop industry, the presidential office announced Tuesday.
The show, titled “K-Pop: The Next Chapter,” will air on Wednesday at 5 p.m. KST as a prerecorded program, according to the presidential office.
Participants in the discussion include Maggie Kang, director of the Netflix animation “KPOP DEMON HUNTERS”; JIHYO and JEONGYEON from the girl group TWICE; music producer and DJ R.TEE; and music critic KIM YOUNG DAE. The program will be hosted by television personality Jang Sung Kyu.
The theme of the program will be the “present and future vision of K-pop.” Participants will reflect on K-pop’s global achievements and its potential as an international cultural product, while sharing perspectives on the industry’s future direction.
“The government will take into account the insights and opinions shared during the program when shaping future policies,” the presidential office said, adding that “various ideas will be exchanged to ensure K-pop’s continued growth and global prominence.”
