When the Live Music Camp incident occurred in 2005, at the time mayor of Seoul, Lee Myung-bak suggested that Hongdae concerts be regulated by authorities.[9] At this time, Yu In-chon had a good understanding of the college culture, so he took Lee Myung-bak to the club 'Drug' and said, 'Oh! Brothers' rock performance together and defended the club culture, thanks to this, Lee Myung-bak, who was about to wipe out the clubs, changed his mind, and he dismissed it as saying he would not do it himself.[10]

As part of the restructuring in early 2024, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism closed the Korean Culture and Information Service, which had a history of more than 50 years, and established a dedicated office within the ministry. In addition, the ministry decided to gradually expand the role of King Sejong Institute, a Korean language learning institution.[15]
