This study analyzed changes in Korean online-game market from RPG to MOBA and FPS/TPS genre, based on Azuma Hiroki's database consumption theory. After selecting the representative game for each genre: World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and Overwatch, we analyzed the games' story, characters, progress, and simulacre produced by game users. The results of this study confirmed that changes in popular genre in the domestic online-game market proceed from consumers' verging toward database consumption. We also found that Korean game users prefer smaller stories and characters based on database, and that consumers have produced more rigorous simulacre than those in other cultural areas and re-databased it for next consumption. This study is the first to analyze changes in the domestic online-game market and adds a contribution to the literature in terms of incorporating Azuma Hiroki's consumption theory into the domestic game market.

In the study of the formal semantics of uncertain databases, we typically take an algebraic approach by mapping an uncertain database to possible worlds which are a set of relational databases. In this paper, we present a new semantics for uncertain databases which takes a logical approach by translating uncertain databases into logical theories. A characteristic feature of our semantics is that it uses linear logic, instead of propositional logic, as its logical foundation. Linear logic is suitable for a logical interpretation of uncertain information because unlike propositional logic, it treats logical formulae not as persistent facts but as consumable resources. As the main result, we show that our semantics is faithful to the operational account of uncertain databases in the algebraic approach.

This study analyzed the genres of popular character web dramas and studied the development of story recommendations through the language model GPT. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that similar cliches are repeated in web dramas. In this study, a common story structure (cliché) was analyzed and a typical story structure was standardized and presented so that even unskilled video producers can easily produce character web dramas. For analysis, clichés of web dramas in the school romance genre, which is the most popular genre among teenagers, were listed in order of success. In addition, this study studied the story recommendation mechanism for users by learning the clichés that were analyzed and cataloged in GPT. Through this study, it is expected to accelerate the production of various contents as well as popular popularity through the acceptance of various databases from the standpoint of database consumption theory of web contents.

In recently, thanks to the development of computer and internet, and reinforcement of digital media literacy of ordinary people, many users of comics and animations recombine contents into various ways, including UCCs. In a glance, it seems these outputs violates the copyrights of contents. But in reality, they helps the growth of the ecosystem of contents market, with increase of contents users. The reason of these reproductions inclines the characteristics of animation media. Animation, which are constituted by plastic symbols, auditory symbols, and narrative symbols, and Comic, which supports stories of Animations, affects as 'Imaginary signifier'. These signifiers helps users of contents to dismantle and reassemble stories. These aspects are seen in doujin culture, animation soundtrack fandom, and voice actor fandom. But In this article, we will concentrate into cosplay culture. Cosplay culture shows more active appearances than another fandoms. In especially, cosplay stage and daily cafe show more active reproductions of characters and communications. However, they are done by youth fans, which has not enough financial abilities: therefore, events are not sustainable and discontinued. And they have another limits, like lack of opportunity of performance. In the reality of Korean society, which needs of community making by community member, and hybrid culture, comics and animation productions in Korea are in need of access positively and encourage reproductions of active receivers of animations.
