Culture Minister Yu In-chon announced his intention to overhaul the country's approach to supporting artists during his inaugural press conference Monday.

Yu, who took the position just two weeks ago, outlined his plan to shift the current system, which disburses small amounts of funding to numerous individuals, to a more targeted and effective model.

"While providing aid to a broad spectrum of artists is commendable, we believe it would be better if the support was more efficient," he said during the press conference held at the Modu Art Theater, a new state-run theater for the disabled that opened earlier this month in central Seoul.
