Anatomy of a 모집공고: the thirteen fields every Korean call prints, and the four that decide your eligibility
A Korean support announcement is a form, not an essay: thirteen printed header fields, six fixed body sections, and a PDF attachment that binds. Four fields — 대상, 창업업력, 접수기간, 주관기관명 — decide whether the call is yours to enter.
Korean support calls look intimidating until you see that they are forms. One live announcement — 창업진흥원 공고 제2026-63호, the 2026 SVC Seoul membership call — fetched in full shows the entire anatomy, and it repeats across the catalogue.
The header fields
The page prints a structured header before any prose. It is the same header on every call, which is what makes the format learnable: read it once carefully and you can triage the next hundred announcements in seconds.
In the sample call, the fields and values are:
- 지원분야: 시설·공간·보육
- 대상연령: 전체
- 기관구분: 공공기관
- 담당부서: 글로벌허브실
- 지역: 전국
- 접수기간: 2026-08-06 ~ 2026-12-11 17
- 주관기관명: 창업진흥원
- 대상: 전체
- 창업업력: 예비창업자, 7년미만, 10년미만
- 연락처: the administering body's own number
| Field | The sample call's value | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 접수기간 | 2026-08-06 ~ 2026-12-11 17 | The window, to the minute |
| 대상 · 창업업력 | 전체 · 예비창업자, 7년미만, 10년미만 | Whether your company qualifies |
| 주관기관명 | 창업진흥원 | Who evaluates and answers |
| 지원분야 | 시설·공간·보육 | Which family the call belongs to |
| 공고번호 · 서명 | 제2026-63호 · 창업진흥원장 | The accountable authority |
The fixed body sections
Below the header, the headings repeat from call to call: 신청방법 및 대상, 제출서류, 선정절차 및 평가방법, then the call-specific outline, 지원내용, and 문의처.
In the sample, the call-specific outline prints the operational detail a founder actually needs: 모집규모 50개사 내외, the location and floor area, the space composition, and the monthly fee with its minimum stay.
That ordering is worth noticing. The numbers a founder wants first sit fourth, under headings about method and paperwork, and skimming from the top is how people miss them.
The two layers above and below it
The December 통합공고 sits above every individual call: one announcement, published under Article 14 of the framework act, mapping the year's central and local programmes.
Each 모집공고 is one call inside that map. The portal's footer states the relationship plainly: information on K-Startup is provided at the request of each institution.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a 모집공고?
- The individual announcement that opens one support call — with a printed title, announcement number, signing authority, header fields and fixed body sections. On the K-Startup portal it renders as a summary page with the binding detail in attached PDF files.
- How does it relate to the December integrated announcement?
- The 통합공고 is the annual map — published once, covering the year's central-government and local-government programmes. Each 모집공고 is the contract for one call inside it. The map tells you what exists; the call tells you what binds.
- Which fields decide whether I can apply?
- Four. 대상 (target), 창업업력 (business tenure — the sample call prints 예비창업자, 7년미만, 10년미만), 접수기간 (the reception window, printed to the minute), and 주관기관명 (the administering body — the sample call names 창업진흥원).
- What are the fixed body sections?
- The sample call prints: 신청방법 및 대상, 제출서류, 선정절차 및 평가방법, then the call-specific outline (입주모집개요), 지원내용, and 문의처. Their content varies; the headings repeat.
- Is the web page the binding document?
- No. The page's attachments are — in the sample call, a PDF announcement, an application form and a supporting-documents form, each downloadable. The web page is the index; the PDF is the contract.
- Who signs a 모집공고?
- The sample call is signed 2026년 08월 06일 창업진흥원장 — by the president of KISED — and numbered 창업진흥원 공고 제2026-63호. The signing body on a call is the administering body, whoever operates the portal it appears on.
