Abstract

Busan Theaters Street was built during the Japanese colonial period. This Busan Theaters Street was a gathering place for multi-purpose theaters that staged plays and films and held various events. he reason why this place is particularly noteworthy is that it was the road where Japanese performing groups and external contents were first performed across the border(Korea Strait) and spread throughout the Korean Peninsula. After independence, this theater district(Busan Theaters Street) played a role in accommodating Korean(Choseon) content and promoting cultural exchange between the region and the center. Then, the Korean War broke out and many cultural and artistic artists flocked to Busan. In 1950, theater operation and content performance were restricted, but after 1951, each theater became a center of new creation and restored the role of producing, viewing, and distributing a lot of content at the same time. Busan Theaters Street is again home to cultural innovation, art distribution and creative activities. This phenomenon continued until the time of ‘Hwando’, and after ‘Hwando’ it acted as a driving force that gave new vitality to the development and distribution of Korean contents.
