Industries Overview

 

DSML HOLDINGS is built on two pillars: Arts and Culture.  

We engage with major global markets including Korea, North America, and Europe.
Exploring how arts and culture create new value and expand their influence.

 

â–¼ Arts

 

Definition  


The arts form the foundation of human identity and social expression.  

Music, visual arts, dance, theater, and literature represent not only aesthetic value but also the power of societies to communicate and advance.  

Across policy, planning, production, and consumption, the arts define how meaning is created and shared.

 

Global Market Overview  
 

Korea  

The Korean Wave, spanning K-pop, K-film, K-drama, has established an unrivaled influence in the global cultural and artistic landscape.  

Government initiatives combined with a dynamic creative ecosystem continue to strengthen the competitiveness of Korea’s arts industry.  

​

North America  

North America represents the world’s largest arts market, led by Broadway, Hollywood, world-class museums, and performance venues.  

Commercialization and large-scale production systems form the region’s core advantage in the global arts economy.  

​

Europe  

Europe builds on classical traditions and public support to maintain a balanced development across music, fine arts, theater, and literature.  

Its cultural policies and institutional depth set enduring standards for the international arts market.  

​

â–¼ Culture

​

Definition  
 

Culture embodies the way societies live and define themselves, expressed through fashion, food, architecture, and education.  

It preserves heritage while fostering innovation and provides the foundation to be inherited and developed by future generations.

 

Global Market Overview  
 

Korea  

K-fashion, K-food, K-architecture, and K-education extend the reach of the Korean Wave.  

Tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and technology come together to create a cultural identity that commands global attention.  

​

North America  

North America’s cultural market is defined by diversity and scale.  

Global corporations and independent creators coexist, producing fashion, cuisine, architecture, and education models where experimentation and commerce converge.  

​

Europe  

Europe anchors its cultural depth in craftsmanship and tradition, from fashion and gastronomy to architecture and education.  

Combined with contemporary innovation, this foundation allows Europe to continue shaping global cultural standards.  

​

â–¼ Our Role

 

DSML HOLDINGS believes that arts and culture should not remain confined to markets where they are most compatible or hold an advantage.  

They must demonstrate strength even in less aligned environments, achieving relevance across all conditions.  

By amplifying the unique advantages of each major market and building on their diversity, we work to establish a truly global cultural and artistic market.  

Through this mission, DSML HOLDINGS stands as both a bridge linking Korea, North America, and Europe, and as a leader in shaping the international cultural and artistic ecosystem.
