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. -

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. -
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. -

Cultural Heritage Night” in South Korea
sustainability Article Examining Structural Relationships among Night Tourism Experience, Lovemarks, Brand Satisfaction, and Brand Loyalty on “Cultural Heritage Night” in South Korea Nan Chen 1,2 , Yahui Wang 2, Jiaqi Li 3 , Yuqian Wei 3 and Qing Yuan 1,2,3,* 1 Research Institute for Study Travel, Henan University, Kaifeng 475001, China; [email protected] 2 School of Cultural Industry & Tourism Management, Henan University, Kaifeng 475001, China; [email protected] 3 Department of Leisure Service & Sports, Pai Chai University, Daejeon 35345, Korea; [email protected] (J.L.); [email protected] (Y.W.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-185-3946-6548 Received: 1 August 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 19 August 2020 Abstract: The night-time economy is an important part of the urban economy and contributes significantly to modern cities’ GDP. The development of night tourism is one of the crucial means to enrich and prosper the night-time economy. Recently, as a popular topic of sustainable development, night tourism has received extensive attention. However, little attention has been paid to night tourism, especially from the emotional perspective of tourists. Furthermore, discussions on how and why tourists become interested in night tourism are still lacking. To fill the research gap, based on the theory of experience economy, we used the concept of lovemarks to explore the influence of tourists’ tourism experience and lovemarks on their brand satisfaction and brand loyalty. A self-administered questionnaire was completed by 487 tourists of “Cultural Heritage Night”, a night tourism brand in South Korea. The results indicate that tourists’ entertainment and educational experience significantly influence their lovemarks (both of brand love and respect), and esthetic experience only significantly influences brand respect. -

Study on the Characteristics and Determinants of High-Growth Regions in the Era of Population Aging Mungu Huh et al.* Chapter 1. Research Background and Purpose The rapid aging of the population is a serious issue for South Korea, as the sudden decline in the size of the working-age pop- ulation is leading to a shortage of labor necessary to sustain local and national economic growth, while the increasing average age of workers is resulting in decreases in labor productivity. As pop- ulation aging can pose a serious threat to the competitiveness of a regional or national economy, it is critical for policymakers to intervene in a timely manner by implementing effective measures. There is indeed a close correlation between demographic struc- tures and economic growth. Population aging is always inversely related to economic growth, at both the local and national lev- * Mungu Huh, Hyunwoo Kim, Jeonghong Kim, Hayool Song, Sangho Lee, Doohee Lee, Junho Jeong, Daegi Min, Hideki Endo Study on the Characteristics and Determinants of High-Growth Regions in the Era of Population Aging 339 els.
