The current status of performing arts creation during the Kim Jong-un era and cultural and artistic exchanges between the two Koreas

Abstract

In this paper, the current status of North Korean performing arts creation was analyzed based on the process of changes in performing arts policies during the Kim Jong-un era in North Korea, and through this, the inter-Korean art exchange plan is presented as follows. First, it is necessary to enact laws and secure budgets to achieve cultural exchanges between local governments, regardless of political exchanges between the two Koreas' political exchanges. Second, a network should be established where private art organizations can communicate. Third, it is necessary for artists from both countries to communicate and open exhibitions and performances through online communication networks, and North Korea, which is thoroughly blocking the outside world, needs to make efforts to resolve inter-Korean conflicts based on openness and transparency from a macro perspective.
