This book explores the role of digital information and communications technology in South Korea’s development, starting with and building upon the crucial developments of the 1980s. Its perspective draws on the information society concept and on a conceptual model of strategic restructuring of telecommunications. It also draws on firsthand experience in formulating and implementing policies. The analysis identifies aspects of the Korean experience from which developing countries around the world might benefit. Oh and Larson describe the revolutionary developments of the 1980s including the TDX electronic switching system, a major surge forward in semiconductors, the start of privatization and color television and the thoroughgoing restructuring of Korea’s telecommunications sector. They further explore government leadership, the growing private sector and international trade pressures in the diffusion of broadband, mobile communication, and convergence toward a ubiquitous network society. The role of education in these developments is explored in detail, along with both the positive and negative aspects of Korea’s vibrant new digital media. The book also looks at Korea’s growing international involvement, its role in efforts to build a world information society, and finally, its future place in cyberspace. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and policy makers interested in communications technologies, Asian/Korean Studies and development studies.

Why and how did South Korea become the world’s top digital government leader? This book examines the Korean model and how it is different from the digital government models of the West, specifically of the United States and the UK. The book also looks at the successes and failures that South Korea has encountered during the process of helping developing nations set up digital governments. The book begins with the origins and historical development of digital governance. It examines digital government strategies and informatization policies in Korea’s nation development and its promotion of the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. The book explains that one of the key successes was the result of leadership and a strong pan-governmental propulsion system, namely ICT governance. The book also suggests a new digital government development model in response to rapid changes in the ICT environment, specifically in view of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is a useful reference for developing countries that are looking at developing their own national information master plan, including digital government.

This volume—a collaborative work between the World Bank’s Global Governance Practice and a team of researchers working with the Korean Development Institute—is dedicated to the proposition that there is much that can be learned from a careful and nuanced assessment of Korea’s experience with e-governance. It seeks to draw lessons both from the large reservoir of experience as to what has worked, as well as the more limited and isolated examples of what has not. In particular, it seeks to achieve two objectives. The first is to accurately understand, capture and distill the key dimensions of Korea’s e-governance experience so that it can be properly understood and appreciated. Towards this end, some of the world’s leading experts on Korea’s e-governance experience have been engaged in its preparation, and their conclusions have been carefully vetted and reviewed by other leading scholars of the role of IT systems within government. The goal is to avoid flip generalizations or characterizations, such as 'political will is important' or 'it is important to embed e-governance within a broader strategy to develop a domestic IT industry,' but to truly understand the complex interplay between differing political, economic and bureaucratic interests and how they shaped decisions about developing the technological and human infrastructure that would support Korea’s successful thrust to be the world’s leading nation in this area. The second is to ponder the lessons learned and what did and did not work from Korea’s experience for other developing countries seeking to strengthen the role of information technology within their public sectors.

Korea is a country with limited natural resources, which has developed through a strategy of industrialisation and the economies of scale. However this is being challenged by the rise of knowledge as a principal driver of competitiveness. This book is the result of a joint study by the OECD and the World Bank to develop a comprehensive set of national policy responses to the knowledge revolution. It concentrates on four areas: 1) an institutional and economic regime that provides incentives for the creation of new knowledge and its efficient use; 2) an educated and entrepreneurial population; 3) a dynamic information infrastructure; 4) an efficient system of innovation.

In recent decades, Korean communication and media have substantially grown to become some of the most significant segments of Korean society. Since the early 1990s, Korea has experienced several distinctive changes in its politics, economy, and technology, which are directly related to the development of local media and culture. Korea has greatly developed several cutting-edge technologies, such as smartphones, video games, and mobile instant messengers to become the most networked society throughout the world. As the Korean Wave exemplifies, the once small and peripheral Korea has also created several unique local popular cultures, including television programs, movies, and popular music, known as K-pop, and these products have penetrated many parts of the world. As Korean media and popular culture have rapidly grown, the number of media scholars and topics covering these areas in academic discourses has increased. These scholars’ interests have expanded from traditional media, such as Korean journalism and cinema, to several new cutting-edge areas, like digital technologies, health communication, and LGBT-related issues. In celebrating the Korean American Communication Association’s fortieth anniversary in 2018, this book documents and historicizes the growth of growing scholarship in the realm of Korean media and communication.

Over the course of the last few decades, South Korea has witnessed a remarkable change in terms of technological innovation and cultural influence. It has evolved from a nation that was torn apart by war to a worldwide powerhouse that is at the forefront of the digital revolution. The book "Technological Leap: Korea's Digital Cultural Revolution" offers a perceptive investigation into the complex relationship that exists between technology and culture. It reveals the diverse journey that led to Korea's transition into the digital era. The introductory chapter establishes the stage by describing the historical setting of Korea's ascent to prominence. It sheds light on the difficult journey that the nation navigated from the devastation of war to becoming a beacon of scientific excellence. It is now clear that the digital revolution in Korea has had a significant impact on the country's cultural landscape, which lays the groundwork for a more in-depth investigation. The second chapter goes into the fundamentals of the digital wave, providing a detailed account of the early developments that established the platform for Korea's rise to the forefront of technological advancement. To provide a more nuanced view of the strategic measures that propelled Korea's technological leap, this article examines government efforts and regulations that are geared at stimulating innovation in industries such as electronics and semiconductors. In the third chapter, titled "Internet and Connectivity," the narrative of Korea's rapid adoption of the internet and the widespread dissemination of high-speed broadband is dissected. The way in which Koreans engaged with technology and with one another underwent a paradigm shift as a result of this transformation, which altered communication, entertainment, and lifestyle. The topic of "Gaming Culture and E-Sports" is the primary focus of the fourth chapter, which sheds light on South Korea's rise to prominence as a global gaming hub. In this chapter, we investigate the emergence of competitive gaming and e-sports, shedding light on the significant impact that gaming has had on the culture of young people in Korea, as well as the following impact that gaming has had on the gaming community around the world. "K-Culture Goes Digital: K-Dramas and K-Pop," which is the title of the fifth chapter, delves at the impact that technology has had in propelling Korean entertainment onto the international arena. It is the proliferation of internet streaming platforms and the pervasiveness of social media that have been instrumental in the global dissemination of Korean dramas and Korean pop music. These developments have also contributed to the development of thriving fan communities and have reshaped the landscape of popular culture. In the sixth chapter, titled "Technological Innovations in Film and Animation," the development of Korean animation and film is discussed in detail. This chapter examines the ways in which technology has driven Korean narrative into the world cinematic stage. Topics covered include technological breakthroughs in filmmaking, national acknowledgment of Korean films and animation content, and international awareness of Korean films The final chapter of the book is titled "Digital Economy and Future Prospects," and it is here that the book investigates the economic impact that the digital cultural revolution in Korea has had.

The dramatic advancement of cellphone technology has fundamentally changed our daily lives. Smartphones and their applications have created new capital for information and communication technology corporations and changed the way people communicate. Because of an interesting awareness of the significance for digital economy and people’s daily culture, many countries, from the U.S. to China, have massively invested in the smartphone industries since the early 21st century. Among them, South Korea has become one of the centers for technology development and digital culture, although the country was once lagging behind in the penetration of the phones and their apps. Yet within the last few years, the country has taken a big step toward their goal of becoming a ‘mobile game wonderland’ by appropriating smartphones and it now exists as a curious test-bed for the future of smartphone technology. Smartland Korea, as the first attempt to comprehensively analyze mobile communication in the context of Korean smartphones, looks into a largely neglected focus of inquiry, a localized mobile landscape, with particular reference to young Koreans’ engagement with their devices and applications. Dal Yong Jin focuses not only on the celebratory achievement of technological advancement, but also the significance of social milieu in the development of the smartphones. He situates the emergence of smartphones within the growth of mobile technologies and overall telecommunications industries embedded in Korea’s information and communication technologies. The book examines the technology’s innovation and the evolution, the digital economy through the lens of political economy, and the youth culture embedded in the Korean smartphone context.
