Derivation Chain

Step 1 Korean historical drama and period content production boom

→

Step 2 Surging demand for royal palace and cultural heritage filming locations

→

Step 3 Filming permit administrative process agency and scheduling service

Problem

Demand for filming permits at royal palaces and cultural heritage sites is surging due to historical K-dramas, YouTube content, and wedding photography. However, the Cultural Heritage Administration's permit process is fragmented across departments (Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, and Jongmyo each require separate applications), with differing document formats and submission deadlines. Small production companies and solo creators spend an average of 5-10 business days and $225-$375 in administrative costs per permit application. Rejection reasons are often unclear, causing additional 2-3 week delays for resubmission.

Solution

A one-stop SaaS that auto-generates filming permit applications for royal palaces and cultural heritage sites, tracks application status, and provides rejection reason analysis with revision guidance. Core features: (1) Location-specific required document auto-checklist + form auto-fill, (2) Application-review-approval status dashboard, (3) Rejection reason pattern analysis and revision suggestions.

Target: Production directors at drama/film production companies with 5-20 employees, YouTube/Instagram content creators (10K+ subscribers), wedding photography studios

Revenue Model: Per Transaction billing. $44/application (basic), $74 for rush processing (3 business days). Monthly studio plan at $142/month (includes 5 applications per month)
