KCC Shares AI Production Cases in Broadcasting, Including SBS Drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated'

The Korea Communications Commission (KCC), alongside the Korea Radio Promotion Association, hosted the "2026 Broadcast Media Artificial Intelligence (AI) Innovative Talent Training Seminar" today (September 10).

Held for broadcasting industry professionals, the seminar shared cases of AI-utilized broadcast content production and the latest technological trends.

In the keynote speech, Oh Soon-young, a senior executive at Amazon Web Services (AWS), introduced shifts in AI technology, trends in its application to the broadcast media industry, and the capabilities required of broadcasting professionals.

Following this, Lee Soo-young, CEO of Morpheus Studio, presented the production process for the AI action scenes in the SBS drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated'.

SBS's 'Agent Kim Reactivated', which recently concluded its run amid box office success, presented a new paradigm by becoming the first Korean drama to produce an entire sequence of about 3 minutes using AI.

Additionally, cases of AI utilization in MBC's variety show 'Rookie Coach Kim Yeon-koung' and KBS's real-time AI subtitles and screen descriptions for the 2026 North and Central America World Cup were introduced.

SBS's post-production video editing automation case utilizing the 'AI Remover' was also presented.

It is an AI-based video removal technology that has been evaluated for enhancing production efficiency by automating repetitive CG manual work and applying it to actual broadcast programs.

Cheon Ji-hyun, Director-General for Broadcast Media Promotion at the Korea Communications Commission, stated, "I hope this seminar serves as an opportunity to elevate the broadcasting industry's understanding of AI technology and its production application capabilities to the next level, thereby driving the AI transition even more actively."
