  • With its reopening in 2009, Korea Manhwa Contents Agency(KOMACON) divided its major business into two domains named "Contents Business Center" and "Museum Manhwa Gyujanggak", in charge of promoting Korean manhwa industry and Korean manhwa culture, respectively, in two separate buildings. Since the former is not likely to earn operation income for the time being at least because of the nature of the business, the latter plays an all the more important role. Accordingly, it is requisite for KOMACON to develop an operating plan for the museum which can be regarded as a multi-cultural space of manhwa in that it includes various cultural activities including exhibition, library, and research. This paper aims to propose a basic framework for its purpose of foundation, objects, organization, and personnel composition, and then, its sources of operating income-business operating profit and financing-, if not all of the details regarding the museum.

Since both museums specialize in comics and provide diverse information related to comics and their museums, this research analyze them on the basis of three types of categories, which are public relations content, professional content, and exhibition/education content The result shows that both museums generally provide similar type of information and content even though there are small differences. Especially, they have common points in the way that both offer detailed information of museum facilities and about exhibition schedules and education programs. However, the goal they are aiming at shows a difference. Korea Manhwa Museum tries to have interactive communication with its site visitors using the bulletin board system and to update newly published comics and events frequently managing separate websites. Kyoto International Manga Museum seems to focus on promoting itself in order to have more museum visitors. It provides detailed information such as history of the museum building, the object of setting up the museum and so on. Also, it provides four different foreign language websites.
