Welcome to 13th International Busan Contents Market

These are the phrases that appear in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty in the 4th year of King Taejong’s reign (1404) designated as the UNESCO Memory of the World. They read: The King fell off a horse while chasing a roe deer with a bow and arrow. Looking both ways, he said, “Do not let the military officer know of it.”

The King was aware of the military officers’ behavior of recording a bit too thoroughly but the military officers recorded the facts far more earnestly than the King had thought. King Sejong the Great, the son of the King, created the Korean alphabet himself to help the Korean people read and write conveniently. As Chinese characters were too difficult to use for regular citizens, he created letters that could be read and written easily.

Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is the best content that Korea has to offer the world. Now I am writing this with the very letters of Hangul.

Novels written in Hangul, created by the king in person, were popular in Joseon’s royal palaces. Love stories contained in classical novels read by the queen and royal concubines and court ladies led to Korea’s present soap operas. Korea, where stories have been loved very much, has become a powerhouse of soap operas, and Busan, where the annals of the Joseon Dynasty were preserved, developed into a central city of contents.
