For Korea to continue to develop and grow its economy in the post-industrial era, it requires more advanced economic and social development strategies. These must be founded in the virtuous correlation between the ICT industry leading the transition to an advanced nation and key elements of economic and social development. To this end, it is very important to advance specific economic and social areas related to the ICT industry that can underlie a post-industrial economic and social paradigm shift. With this in mind, we examine how Korea is attempting to advance sustainably after its industrialization through ICT innovation, despite the various constraints and challenges it faces both domestically and internationally.

Social content has been spreading through the interaction of employees, users, and communication technologies, while the government has been an obstacle, failing to play its role in the diffusion of social content. According to the employees, they have made considerable contributions in social content diffusion, including rapid recognition of change, development of profit models, and creation of platforms for user participation. Users have also played a leading role in the diffusion of social content; they have majorly contributed in the quantitative expansion of the content and also facilitated the qualitative improvement of the content through various responses.
