Korea film market is heterogeneously divided market that comes from competition between Korean movies and foreign imported movies. This research empirically analyzes genre differentiation in Korean film market with three dimensions (film audience preference, production and import, box office hit). The results indicate that, first, audiences who preferring Korean movie preferred 'cultural factor oriented genres', but audiences who preferring foreign movie preferred 'high budget oriented genres'. Second, imported foreign movie genre distribution was little bit different with box office hit genre of foreign movies. Foreign movie was imported not only hit genre (action genre) but also low cost genre (comedy and Drama/melodrama genre), but most of all Korean film was produced in box office hit genres (comedy and Drama/melodrama genre), third, Korean movies hit a box office in comedy and Drama/melodrama genre, but foreign movies hit a box office in action and SF/Fantasy genre. Those results show that Korea movies' genres are concentrated very much in cultural factor oriented genre. Those results can give implication of diversity policy and movie production strategy of Korea film market.

Nowadays, game development of new genres continues through convergence among existing genres, and the games of this hybrid-genre are gaining popularity around the world. Following this trend, it is meaningful to analyze the characteristic contents of the existing genre for more effective genre fusion. In this paper, in the genre of survival game, a genre of digital game, we would like to select a representative survival game for analysis of survival content, which is a key goal and core of the game, to identify common and differentiated features. For this purpose, we have studied game mechanics and game dynamic components around the contents of the survival game, based on the MDA framework.

We examined the annual film distribution portfolio of a Korean film distributor, Lotte Entertainment, investigating how the company puts big-budget films and low-budget movies together. As a result, the distributor was found to invest more than 80% of its whole budget in producing medium-size movies. The more successful box office, however, was witnessed from big-budget films that the company spent more than 6 billion Korean wons. With respect to genre, comedy and drama were the most and second-most frequently produced. However, Those two genres were not the most successful genres in the box office. Korean movie-goers favored actions and thriller the most and second most. Comedy took only the third place of the Korean box office, signifying a discord between the portfolio and the Korean box office.

TV drama , aired on JTBC in 2018, used several fictional and linguistic clues on the murder case. It effectively delayed the process of inferring the perpetrator by utilizing 'ambiguity' and 'trap', which enabled the double interpretation of the the main character's diaglogue and action. This delay could be made by employment of genre hybrid, cognitive process and knowledge of viewers about typical romance plot and mystery plot in TV drama. In other words, could be evaluated as a special genre hybrid case that disturbs viewers' perception of genre in that the correct reasoning process began from the point that overturned the viewer's expectation about typical romance genre dramas in which male main characters mostly devoted to love. The complicating mystery structure shown in is against the opinion that the traditional mystery structure is difficult to succeed in TV dramas. Also, from the perspective of hybrid genre, it is different from the usual mechanical combination of two different plots. These characteristics in are worth to highly evaluated.

This study has examined genre tastes of Hollywood movies in Korea. A concept of cultural discount suggests that Hollywood film in foreign countries would be received differently according to its specific attributes. Following the suggestion of cultural discount, this study examines how local reception of Hollywood movies is different in Korea, focusing on film genre, production budget, and U.S. box office. The results show that genres are useful variables for such analysis, indicating that certain film genres are indeed suffering from relatively high cultural discount at the level of Hollywood movie import/distribution. Comedy, specifically, constitutes the crucial particularistic movie genre. However, this study does not find out any significant effect of movie genres on the box office in Korea, controlling the effect of U.S. box office and production budget. As Hollywood studios have recently produced multi-genre movies rather than genre-specific movies to induce a variety of audience who have different movie tastes, the influences of cultural discount disappeared among imported Hollywood movies in Korea. This study also reveals that Hollywood movies of high production budget and of successful U.S. box office are more preferred in Korea.

The male audience for melodrama, a typical women's genre, has drawn little attention in the audience research. Thus, this paper examines how and in what context they watch it, as well as how they accept and rationalize their 'feminine' taste. And in-depth interviews were conducted with seven middle-aged males. While they acknowledge their feminine taste, they tend to legitimize and re-contextualize it in ways that may not contradict their notion of masculinity. Consequently, they often demonstrate seemingly contradictory attitudes oscillating between enjoying it and distancing themselves from their please of viewing. Yet, their acknowledgement of feminization hardly extends to an acceptance of being labelled 'feminine' men. They attempt to distance themselves from emotional engagement in television viewing, either through emotional self-censorship or under-valuation of the taste for the genre itself. Finally, they hardly connect their taste for the genre to a sort of active post-viewing practices of fandom. The results have considerable implications for understanding how the melodrama-viewing males keep traversing the boundaries of gender-specific genres, and reconstitute the notion of masculinity.

본 연구는 '인공지능이 그린 그림은 예술적 가치가 있는가?' '인공지능을 활용한 21세기의 현시대 예술은 무엇인가?' '어떻게 실현되는가?'라는 실천적 질문에서 출발하였다. 4차 산업혁명은 초실감(Hyper-Reality), 초지능(Hyper-Intellect), 초연결(Hyper-connect)로 '초(Hyper)의 시대'를 예고하고 있다. 이 혁명은 현시대 예술가에게 현실과 가상을 분간할 수 없는 혼합현실환경, 예술의 창작활동에 훌륭한 조수로서 역할을 할 수 있는 인공지능, 예술적 경험을 가상과 현실을 넘나들며, 언제 어디서나 즉각적으로 체험할 수 있는 기술을 제공한다. 실천적 질문에 대한 해답을 찾기 위하여 주관기관 홍익대학교, 참여기관 서울미디어대학원대학교, (주)브이알애드가 2018년 5월부터 2019년 12월까지 2년간 진행한 한국콘텐츠진흥원 문화기술 연구개발 지원사업 '인공지능 기반 창작 아틀리에 발굴 및 구축 기술 개발 프로젝트'를 통하여 인공지능 엔진(stNET, vidNET, hdtNET, omniNET)을 개발하였고 예술가와 4번의 전시를 통하여 성능 및 가치를 실증하였다. 인공지능은 그동안의 예술적 장르와는 차별화된 특이점을 가지고 있으며 응용 범위 또한 다양하다. 현시대 예술가에게 새로운 장르 개척의 훌륭한 조수로서 역할이 가능하다는 것이다. 그동안 현대 예술의 조형과 개념 미술에 한정적 메시지를 넘어, 인공지능기반 초 실감, 실 시간, 직관적 인터랙션을 통하여 직접적 예술 경험을 체험할 수 있다는 점에서, 현시대의 예술가에게 초 경험 예술(Hyper-Experience Art)의 시작인 동시에 새로운 장르 개척의 단초가 제공된다.

게임 기획은 1차 기획과 2차 기획으로 나누어진다. 1차 기획은 게임이 제작될 경우 게임의 장르, 스토리, 타겟 게이머, 플랫폼, 인터페이스, 캐릭터 특징, 마켓팅 전략등을 고려해 게임 상품화와 게임 판매 성공 여부, 게임이 미치는 사회적 영향등을 판단하여 게임의 제작 여부를 결정하는 단계이므로 게임의 성공과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 그런데 현재 국내에서 제작되고 있는 게임들은 RPG 게임과 특정한 게임층에 편향된 경향이 있어 장기적으로 게임 시장의 축소를 가져올 수 있다. 그러므로 차별화된 게임을 제작하여 게임 시장의 확대를 이루는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 온라인 보드 게임에 속하고 인터페이스와 기존 게임에 익숙하지 않는 여성층과 초보 게이머들도 쉽게 게임을 즐길 수 있는 도르르 왕국의 1차 기획 사례 연구를 통해 온라인 게임의 1차 기획 과정을 논한다. 본 연구는 기존 게임과 차별화된 게임을 제작하려는 게임 제작업체에게 1차 기획의 좋은 예가 되어 경쟁력 있는 게임을 출하할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 수 있다.
