Since the first film commission was founded to offer production support services in 1999, film commissions all around Korea have developed close ties to align their operations and support systems. With their emphasis on expanding support and networking, a joint committee of six film commissions under the name Korea Film Commission was founded in 2004. A total of 14 film commissions have become members since then.

The association renewed itself as the Korea Film Commissions & Industry Network in 2011, expanding membership to the Korean Film Producers Association (KFPA), Corea Drama Production Association (CODA), Producers Guild of Korea (PGK) and Federation of Korean Movie Workers’ Union (FKMWU).

With the goal of inspiring regional and national economic growth by attracting domestic and international film productions, providing production-related support and exposing local attractions through audio-visual content products, and encouraging a well-balanced development of the Korean feature film and audio-visual industry through rigorous regional exchange, the Korea Film Commissions & Industry Network has made multilateral efforts to create a brand name for the domestic audio-visual industry.

Since 2015, the network expanded its operations to marketing Korea as a filming location internationally and acting as the major inbound contact point representing all regional film commissions.
