Taiwan and South Korea Join Forces on Musical Theater Co-Productions

The Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA) and the Korean Association of Musical Producers (KAMP) signed a memorandum of understanding at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) in Taipei to expand musical theater collaboration between Taiwan and South Korea and open up new opportunities across Asia.

TAICCA, the Ministry of Culture-backed body that promotes Taiwan’s content industries, organizes the festival.

The agreement centers on Taiwan–Korea co-productions and industry exchange, with the two organizations aiming to link creators, performers and companies in both markets. It also seeks to encourage cross-border projects and help musicals from both countries reach audiences beyond their home markets.

“Through this collaboration between Taiwan and Korea, we hope to develop new stories together, realize a shared vision of mutual benefit and share our expertise across market boundaries,” said Erica Wang, CEO of TAICCA.

KAMP President Han Seung-won said he was pleased to witness an important moment in Taiwan–Korea musical theater collaboration. “I believe closer cooperation between Taiwan and Korea can open up a larger market and new business opportunities,” he said.

Choi Seok-cheol, representative director of the Gimhae Cultural and Tourism Foundation, based in the South Korean city of Gimhae, attended the ceremony as a witness to the signing.

The agreement builds on TAICCA’s KonTact Taiwan–Korea Musical Co-Development Program, which launched this year with South Korea as its main partner market. The program is designed to help Taiwan’s musical theater industry find international partners and move joint projects forward faster.

TAICCA said the program and the new agreement are meant to strengthen professional networks between the two countries and help grow Asia’s musical theater industry as a whole.
