A Study on an Improvement Plan for Training Professionals in the Gugak Field through Cases of Training Professionals in the fields of Performing Arts

This study aims to seek plans for training professionals in gugak and gugak culture industry as specified in the “Gugak Promotion Act.” Since the 1950s when human resources in the gugak field began to be trained through a regular education course, the gugak field has always focused on training performers. However, the field has faced an era in which the environment of the performing arts market surrounding the gugak field has changed and it has become difficult for those who major in gugak to make social contributions as performers. In addition, with the enactment of the “Gugak Promotion Act,” the training of professionals related to the field of gugak culture industry has become more important than ever. Those with professional capabilities in various fields such as planning, public relations, marketing, stage technology, and distribution are now needed in the gugak field. This study identifies problems through the flow of the training policies for human resources in the gugak field, analyzes cases of development plans for professionals in the fields of performing arts including gugak, and then examines the possibility of their application to the gugak field. Based on it, it proposes improvement plans to train professionals required in the gugak and gugak culture industry.
