With the advancement of society, cultural maturity should be accompanied by economic development. Today, each country in the world is entering a creative culture-based economy society the creative classes and industries that lead social and cultural maturity. In addition, the creative culture-based economy and society shift beyond previous knowledge/information-driven ‘Computer and Communications (C&C)’ era to emotion/culture-centered 'Creativity and Content (C&C)’ era. The core axis of the national growth converts from knowledge and information to creativity. Especially, in the digital convergence era, the national competitiveness depends on the quantity and quality of digital contents, and the cultural industry combining ideas, emotions and contents emerges as a leading industry of economic growth. Like this, the 21st century world order depends not on ideological, political and economic aspects but on culture, and cultural capacity is getting a symbol of the scale of the national strength. In addition, with its inauguration, the Park Geun-hye Government suggests ‘cultural enrichment’ of “enrichment of culture and enrichment through culture” as one of the national keynotes, and attaches importance to creative economy taking culture, emotion, creativity-based creative industries as the new growth engine in the future. To realize this cultural enrichment and creative economy, the transmission and development of the traditional culture is most important of all. The traditional culture is the root and basis of Korean culture.
