In March 2024, the South Korean regional chapter of the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA) was established. DiGRA is one of the world's largest international associations for academics and professionals who research digital games and associated phenomena. Its Korean chapter, named “DiGRA-K”, is now the latest new regional hub followed by the ones in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. DiGRA-K aims to promote an interdisciplinary approach to game research, strengthen connections with industry and academia, and support the next generation through international collaborations. Notably, DiGRA-K aims to overcome the gap between academic disciplines in Korea when it comes to research games, while seeking to encompass both industry practitioners and academia.
