  • The Woongjin Group Files for Bankruptcy October, 2012 Makoto, ABE (Seoul, Research Fellow Sent Abroad, IDE-JETRO)
    http://www.ide.go.jp A Corporate Business Leader’s Unfulfilled Ambitions to Build a Major Conglomerate —The Woongjin Group Files for Bankruptcy October, 2012 Makoto, ABE (Seoul, Research Fellow Sent Abroad, IDE-JETRO) Foreword The Woongjin Group, which ranked 39th in terms of assets in corporate South Korea, has effectively filed for bankruptcy. In terms of asset scale, the Woongjin Group has less than 5% of the amount of assets held by the Samsung Group. Nonetheless, the Woongjin Group’s bankruptcy filing is sending ripples throughout South Korean society for two main reasons. First, it is South Korea’s first major bankruptcy since the economy abruptly stalled at the start of 2012. Second, the Woongjin Group is one of only a few mid-tier to large South Korean industrial groups that have reached their current position under the leadership of the current owner in a single generation. In this report, we retrace the steps of the Woongjin Group, from its growth to collapse. A Company Founded by a Top Salesman Yoon Seok-keum, founder of the Woongjin Group, was born in 1945 as the child of an impoverished farming family in Gongju City, South Chungcheong Province, South Korea. After graduating from the College of Commerce and Economics of Konkuk University, Mr. Yoon joined Korea Britannica Corporation in 1971 as a salesman. Here, Mr. Yoon became No.1 in domestic sales just one month after joining the firm, and in his first year received an award given to Britannica’s highest-performing salesperson out of all 54 countries where the company does business worldwide.

    Whisper Only to You 12.10.2019-13.01.2020 From an idea of Sylvain Bellenger and Andrea Viliani with Sabrina Rastelli Madre · museo d'arte contemporanea Donnaregina Curated by Sabrina Rastelli and Andrea Viliani Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte Curated by Sabrina Rastelli, Paola Giusti and Maria Rosaria Sansone The Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee and Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte present Whisper Only to You (12.10.2019-13.01.2020), the first solo show of the South Korean artist Yeesookyung (Seoul, 1963) in two Italian public institutions, realized from an idea of Sylvain Bellenger and Andrea Viliani with Sabrina Rastelli. The exhibition is curated by Sabrina Rastelli and Andrea Viliani for the Madre · museo d'arte contemporanea Donnaregina, and by Sabrina Rastelli, Paola Giusti and Maria Rosaria Sansone for the Museo e Real Bosco di Capodimonte. For this project, the Fondazione Donnaregina per le arti contemporanee received the support of Fund for Korean Art Abroad 2019, promoted by Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Korea, and of Korea Arts Management Service. Yeesookyung is a visual artist whose practice includes the use of different media, among which video-installation and painting, with a predilection for sculpture. The project of this double exhibition is divided into two complementary exhibition paths. The Facade Galleries of the Madre museum host some works that belong to the multimedia and multi-material production of the artist. Whisper Only to You (2019), which gives the title to the exhibition itself, is composed by the recording of a performance by Yeesookyung, who, in voice-over, whispers in Korean a never-ending story, while the images show the details of a drawing in red cinnabar – precious pigment of mineral origin, full of symbolic meanings in East Asia – entitled Flame.

  • Chungcheongnam-Do 충청남도
    © Lonely Planet 318 Chungcheongnam-do 충청남도 It’s close to Seoul and home to the fifth largest city in South Korea, Daejeon, but Chungnam – as it’s more commonly known – is not the most scintillating of provinces. Its attractions are largely very old (5th-century Baekje capitals) or utterly recreational (a bevy of beaches). Much of the buzz in recent years has focused on a new administrative national capital Sejong City, to be built near Gongju, but whether it materialises depends on the political winds in Seoul. For now, it’s Daejeon that’s the capital manqué, with flashy KTX services, all the trappings of modern Korean life and all its lack of urban charms as well. More interesting are the small towns left in its wake: little Geumsan is the hub of the ginseng industry, while Gongju and tiny Buyeo were once capitals of the ancient Baekje dynasty. The latter towns have retained a surprising number of old fortresses, tombs and relics, chief among them the tomb of King Muryeong in Gongju – like King Tut’s tomb, it was uncovered in modern times with all its burial artefacts miraculously intact. The province’s other main draw is its beaches. Daecheon Beach in the south is widely considered to be the best on the western coast, while travellers preferring some solitude can hop on a ferry to one of the nearby islands. To the north is Taean Haean National Park, dotted with more islands, beaches and the promise of wind-whipped fresh air – just what most day-trippers from Seoul are looking for.

  • Choosing the Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing the Right Location
    Choosing The Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing The Right Location Geography The Korean Peninsula lies in the north-eastern part of the Asian continent. It is bordered to the north by Russia and China, to the east by the East Sea and Japan, and to the west by the Yellow Sea. In addition to the mainland, South Korea comprises around 3,200 islands. At 99,313 sq km, the country is slightly larger than Austria. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, after Bangladesh and Taiwan, with more than 50% of its population living in the country’s six largest cities. Korea has a history spanning 5,000 years and you will find evidence of its rich and varied heritage in the many temples, palaces and city gates. These sit alongside contemporary architecture that reflects the growing economic importance of South Korea as an industrialised nation. In 1948, Korea divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was allied to the, then, USSR and South Korea to the USA. The divide between the two countries at Panmunjom is one of the world’s most heavily fortified frontiers.

  • Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages
    Conservation Studies of Korean Stone Heritages Chan Hee Lee Department of Cultural Heritage Conservation Sciences, Kongju National University, Gongju, 32588, Republic of Korea Keywords: Korean stone heritages, Conservation, Weathering, Damage, Environmental control. Abstract: In Republic of Korea, a peninsula country located at the eastern region of the Asian continent, is mostly composed of granite and gneiss. The southern Korean peninsula stated approximately 7,000 tangible cultural heritages. Of these, the number of stone heritages are 1,882 (26.8%), showing a diverse types such as stone pagoda (25.8%), stone Buddha statues (23.5%), stone monuments (18.1%), petroglyph, dolmen, fossils and etc. Igneous rock accounts for the highest portion of the stone used for establishing Korean stone heritages, forming approximately 84% of state-designated cultural properties. Among these, granite was used most often, 68.2%, followed by diorite for 8.2%, and sandstone, granite gneiss, tuff, slate, marble, and limestone at less than 4% each. Furthermore, values of the Korean stone heritages are discussed as well as various attempts for conservation of the original forms of these heritages. It is generally known that the weathering and damage degrees of stone heritage are strongly affected by temperature and precipitation. The most Korean stone heritages are corresponded to areas of middle to high weathering according to topography and annual average temperature and precipitation of Korea. Therefore, examination of environmental control methods are required for conservation considering the importance of stone heritages exposed to the outside conditions, and monitoring and management systems should be established for stable conservation in the long term.

Brehm U.S. Embassy, Seoul Prepared by: Susan B. Phillips Seh Won KIM Report Highlights: This report provides information about the market for U.S. processed food products outside of the capital city of Seoul. Increasingly, FAS Cooperators, MAP participants, and exporters are expanding their efforts to include these other major Korean urban areas. While Seoul marketers and consumers lead the country in innovation, the ATO finds growing interest in provincial areas for U.S. processed food products. Includes PSD changes: No Includes Trade Matrix: No Unscheduled Report Seoul ATO [KS2], KS GAIN Report #KS3011 Page 1 of 8 MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PROVINCIAL CITIES INTRODUCTION There are seven metropolitan cities in Korea: Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Kwangju, Daejon and Ulsan. In order to be designated as a metropolitan city in Korea the population of the city must exceed one million. The combined population of these six metropolitan cities except Seoul (of which the city population is 10 million) is about 13 million. The Seoul-Incheon "corridor" comprises a largely urban area with a population of about 22 million people. Although the markets in the cities outside Seoul are still small, they are growing. There is potential for faster growth of imported food products in these provincial areas, while the future growth rate of the market in Seoul slows. In the past, many imported processed foods were not widely available in the retail sector of provincial metropolitan cities, but thanks to the launching of discount stores and large-scale department stores in recent years, many processed foods are now available at these outlets in these other cities.

  • A Collaborative Trans-Regional R&D Strategy for the South Korea Green New Deal to Achieve Future Mobility
    sustainability Article A Collaborative Trans-Regional R&D Strategy for the South Korea Green New Deal to Achieve Future Mobility Doyeon Lee and Keunhwan Kim * Division of Data Analysis, Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI), 66, Hoegi-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul 02456, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, South Korea is moving to establish a national industry strategy to reduce regional inequalities within the country through the Green New Deal. Thus, it is important to closely integrate the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the Green New Deal with that of reducing deepening regional inequality from the Regionally Balanced New Deal. To accomplish these dual aims, this study provides a collaborative trans-regional R&D strategy and a precise framework with three key dimensions: regional, technological, and organizational. We demonstrate that future mobility is the most important project of the Green New Deal, comprising 1963 nationally funded projects worth USD 1285.4 million. We also illustrate the level of government investment in nationally funded research projects related to future mobility for 17 different regions and seven different technology clusters related to future mobility, and determine which research organizations played an important role in each cluster for all 17 regions between 2015 and 2020. Our results indicate that the capital region and Daejeon have high innovation capability in many future mobility-related research fields, whereas some regions have capabilities in specific research fields such as hydrogen infrastructure, indicating their relative competitiveness.
