The Korean government is stepping up efforts to combat rising overseas copyright infringement of K-content.

The Culture Ministry held the 2025 Copyright Protection Enforcement International Cooperation Meeting on Tuesday, bringing together content industry leaders and law enforcement officials from Korea and abroad.

Participants included investigative officials from the Philippines and Malaysia, Interpol, Naver Webtoon, and Kakao Entertainment.

They discussed strategies for blocking illegal websites and strengthening cross-border cooperation for stronger joint copyright enforcement.

Public access to the former presidential office of Cheong Wa Dae will be adjusted starting next month in line with the relocation of Korea's top office back to the Blue House.

According to the Blue House Foundation, visits to Cheong Wa Dae will be partially restricted from July 16 to 31, and temporarily suspended from August 1 until President Lee Jae-myung's move is complete.

This is to allow for security and safety inspections for the new president and his aides.

The Blue House was opened to the public in 2022 when former President Yoon Suk-yeol relocated the presidential office to Yongsan.

To mark the 75th anniversary of the Korean War, a special exhibition highlighting the voices and dedication of veterans is underway in Seoul.

The nonprofit organization 'Project Soldier' is hosting the event titled: "Project Soldier: Searching for Korean War Veterans" at SJ Kunsthalle in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, District through June 25.

The exhibit features Korean War veterans' testimonies, photographs, and historical records, delivering the powerful message that "Freedom Is Not Free."

Organizers said the event aims to honor the sacrifices made during the war and remind the public of the value of hard-fought freedom.
