Some 200 celebrities gathered at a conference for the promotion of cultural contents held in Yeouido, Seoul on Tuesday to voice their opposition to illegal downloading. The conference aimed to protect and nurture domestic cultural contents and discourage illegal downloading of music, TV programs, and movies rampant on the internet.
Celebrities who attended the conference included musicians Lee Seung-cheol, Ock Ju-hyun, Rain, Chae-yeon, Horan of Clazziquai, Jo Kwon of 2AM, and composer Bang Shi-hyuk and many more musicians. Lee Seung-cheol criticized today's musical environment, where musicians' hard work is not rewarded properly and easy downloading on the internet devalues musical creation. Singer and musical star Ock Ju-hyun said that illegal downloaders claim that today's albums are not worth buying, so it's up to musicians themselves to make albums that are creative and culturally meaningful enough for consumers to open their wallets.
