Abstract
Debate on the introduction of musical `stage quota` has been triggered to protect domestic original musical market. In the in-depth interviews with experts, most of the interviewees were in favor of the introduction of this system, ensuring mainly cultural diversity. The proposed model by proponents is that large-scaled national and public theaters(1,000 seats or more) must perform original musicals at least from 20% to 30% of total musical performance days per year set by law until its competitiveness should be ensured. Opponents proposed that government should design musical promotion and funding policy. The study implies that stage quota should carried out since the system is essential, and should be institutionalized through legislation. It is also suggested that government should consider and consult the stakeholders to draft this system reflecting answerers` limitations such as target, quota rate, period to minimize side effects like shrinkage of musical industry.
