The Korea Trade Insurance Corp. (K-Sure) said Wednesday it will expand trade insurance support this year for the cultural content industry, which is seeking to boost its exports amid the global popularity of Korean culture.

K-Sure extended a combined 185.8 billion won ($128 million) worth of trade insurance to nearly 150 content companies last year and plans to expand the support capacity in 2026, company officials said.

The company said its support is expected to help Korean content companies boost their exports amid growing demand for Korean music, films, games and other content.

Last year, K-Sure also created a special credit guarantee program for the culture industry, with 17 content companies that joined the program exporting a combined $42 million.
