President Lee Jae Myung recently visited PUBG Seongsu, a cultural space operated by Krafton, where he tested an AI-driven life simulation game called inZOI. During this visit, Lee emphasized the importance of embracing gaming as a vital aspect of South Korea's cultural and economic future. He advocated for a shift away from restrictive gaming policies, which he believed had impeded the industry’s growth and allowed competitors like China to take the lead.
Lee criticized previous administrations' negative perceptions of gaming, highlighting the need to manage potential issues like gaming addiction without stifling industry innovation. He pointed out that games, much like comics and animation, have become significant cultural exports and should be recognized for their contributions to the economy.
