The 2017 Korea Internet White Paper is a collection of the domestic and international issues and trends of 2016. 2017 Korea Internet White Paper | Message from the Publisher “Faced with the transition to an intelligent information society, we must determine the direction of our distant future.” Futurist Kurzweil predicted in his book Singularity is Near that by the "law of accelerating returns," there will be an exponential increase in the speed of development, and thus the speed of development in the 21st Century will be 1,000 times that of the 20th Century. The incredible development speed can be experienced firsthand in our reality, beyond just theories in textbooks. Before we have even overcome from the shock of Alpha Go, which made us think "machines are better than humans," we are facing a more evolved Alpha Go and AI technology in our daily lives. We have gone from treating machines as something that provides assistance to humans to asking ourselves with fear: "In what area could humans possibly be better than machines?" The next 10 years will be a critical era to determining the survival and perpetuation of the human race for the next 100 years. As humans who will have to live in an intelligence information society where social and economic systems will be based on Artificial Intelligence instead of ICT in the near future, we must lay out our future directions before it is too late. As a measure to realize a humanistic intelligence information society, the Ministry of Science and ICT and Korea Internet & Security Agency have established and are carrying out tasks concerned with responsible technology, equal access, fair competition, information sovereignty, ethics and dignity, protection and utilization, and data protection/security management. The 2017 Internet White Paper, the 18th white paper from our institution, diagnoses the basic issues for the future internet era and goes through related policies and technical suggestions with the initiative of planning for a human-oriented future society. In particular, it goes into depths on industries of the future like artificial intelligence, block chain, etc. and it has strengthened its part on the economic and legal aspects such as improving regulations for the development of convergence industry. I trust that the white paper will serve its purpose as valuable material that helps with preparing the future, and that through this we can accelerate the growth of the national economy and become a central country of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. I express my gratitude to the writers, editors, and the related personnel who have given this white paper all their time and effort.

In the content industry, tentpoles are defined as hit titles Industry Report that provide a source of steady cash flow, such as the blockbuster films of movie studios July 27, 2015 and the top-rated programs of TV networks. The content industry is vulnerable to the success or failure of a title as well as changes in seasonality. Establishing a tentpole by investing around 70% of the annual budget on Daewoo Securities Co., Ltd. just one or two projects could prove an effective strategy against such risks. If tentpole [Telecom Service / Media] films or shows become a hit, they can compensate for losses made elsewhere.

    Running head: FAKE NEWS AS A THREAT TO THE DEMOCRATIC MEDIA ENVIRONMENT Fake News as a Threat to the Democratic Media Environment: Past Conditions of Media Regulation and Their Contemporary Applicability to New Media in the United States of America and South Korea Jae Hyun Park Duke University FAKE NEWS AS A THREAT TO THE DEMOCRATIC MEDIA ENVIRONMENT 1 Abstract This study uses a comparative case study policy analysis to evaluate whether the media regulation standards that the governments of the United States of America and South Korea used in the past apply to fake news on social media and the Internet today. We first identify the shared conditions based on which the two governments intervened in the free press. Then, we examine media regulation laws regarding these conditions and review court cases in which they were utilized. In each section, we draw similarities and differences between the two governments’ courses of action. The comparative analysis will serve useful in the conclusion, where we assess the applicability of those conditions to fake news on new media platforms in each country and deliberate policy recommendations as well as policy flow between the two countries.

  • Candlelight Vigil at Chinese Embassy to Mark Save North Korea Refugees Day: September 24; Over 20 Cities Plan Action
    For Immediate Release: September 21, 2015 Contact: Suzanne Scholte or Jack Rendler; Phone: 202-257-0095 (Scholte) or 612-202-8512 (Rendler) Candlelight Vigil at Chinese Embassy to Mark Save North Korea Refugees Day: September 24; Over 20 Cities Plan Action (Washington, D.C.)….On Thursday September 24, the North Korea Freedom Coalition joined by the International Coalition to Stop Crimes Against Humanity in North Korea is sponsoring the annual “Save North Korean Refugees Day" to recognize the horrifying plight and inhumane treatment of North Korean refugees by the Chinese government. Petition deliveries will occur in cities throughout the world including Washington, D.C., Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco; Seoul, Busan; Toyko; Berlin; London; The Hague; Toronto, Ottawa; Mexico City; Rio de Janeiro; Santiago; and Buenos Aires calling for the government of China to abide by its international treaty obligations and stop forcing North Koreans back to North Korea to face torture, imprisonment and even execution for fleeing their homeland. Solidarity cities including San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Waterloo, Ontario are planning events to call for action to help North Korean refugees. Several cities will also have events to mark the tragic circumstances facing North Korean refugees. For example, in Chicago, the North Korea Freedom Network will sponsor a protest at 11 am in front of the Chinese consulate, while in Washington, D.C., there will be a candlelight vigil at 8 pm at the Chinese embassy at which North Korean defectors and activists will read aloud the names of the hundreds of refugees who were forced back to North Korea by China.

  • A Confucian Interpretation of South Korea's Candlelight Revolution
    religions Article Candlelight for Our Country’s Right Name: A Confucian Interpretation of South Korea’s Candlelight Revolution Sungmoon Kim Department of Public Policy, City University of Hong Kong, 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon, Hong Kong; [email protected]; Tel.: +(852)-3442-8274 Received: 10 September 2018; Accepted: 26 October 2018; Published: 28 October 2018 Abstract: The candlelight protest that took place in South Korea from October 2016 to March 2017 was a landmark political event, not least because it ultimately led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye. Arguably, its more historically important meaning lies in the fact that it marks the first nation-wide political struggle since the June Uprising of 1987, where civil society won an unequivocal victory over a regime that was found to be corrupt, unjust, and undemocratic, making it the most orderly, civil, and peaceful political revolution in modern Korean history. Despite a plethora of literature investigating the cause of what is now called “the Candlelight Revolution” and its implications for Korean democracy, less attention has been paid to the cultural motivation and moral discourse that galvanized Korean civil society. This paper captures the Korean civil society which resulted in the Candlelight Revolution in terms of Confucian democratic civil society, distinct from both liberal pluralist civil society and Confucian meritocratic civil society, and argues that Confucian democratic civil society can provide a useful conceptual tool by which to not only philosophically construct a vision of civil society that is culturally relevant and politically practicable but also to critically evaluate the politics of civil society in the East Asian context.
