Through the Lottery Fund of the Lottery Committee, the Youngjin Committee is supporting projects to improve the viewing environment for the disabled with the Korea Federation of the Deaf and the Korea Federation of Blind.
NEW has participated in the screening of Value Spring, starting with the 2017 film 「'Train to Busan', and has presented about 30 works, including 'The King' and 'Anshiseong' at theaters nationwide. What about the latest Korean films as well as foreign films recognized at leading overseas film festivals?It has set up an environment where the deaf can watch equally. In 2023, the summer's top box office hit 'smuggling' was released simultaneously in a Korean subtitle version for the first time in a Korean movie, and 'The Host', which was well-received as an art-buster movie, worked with the Korea Blind Association to provide full dubbing screen commentary for the first time in foreign currency, expanding the audience's choice.
