Summary
In South Korea, the criteria for officially certifying as a 'professional artist' are often unclear and inconsistent, creating barriers for artists seeking support and recognition. This lack of clarity can prevent talented artists from accessing grants, welfare support, and legal protections, leading to feelings of frustration and exclusion. The bureaucratic nature of the certification process does not reflect the realities of modern artistic practices, particularly for independent and digital artists.
