[New Release] 'Jenga' · 'World Knowledge Forum Insight 2021'
◆Jenga= A novel cleverly exposing the corruption hidden throughout our society. The setting is Gojin, a city in Gasan, and Naeil Jeonseon, a subsidiary of a large corporation. Corruption runs rampant everywhere. People turn a blind eye despite knowing the injustice and hypocrisy. However, the moment the gears with faulty parts misalign, the collapse of the organization inevitably follows. The author poses questions about how we can build solidarity and gain the strength to protect our daily lives. Furthermore, the novel meticulously exposes how the corruption that started in one company permeates the entire Korean society, suggesting the "absurdity of absurdity." "Organizational logic should be based on a communal spirit that pursues public interest and good. But does the organizational logic of the Republic of Korea truly rest on such a communal spirit? Within the vast organization called Korea, can we gain the strength to unite and protect our daily lives?" (Written by Jeong Jinyoung / Eunhaengnamu)

◆World Knowledge Forum Insight 2021= Global leaders and entrepreneurs such as Theresa May, former Prime Minister of the UK, Stephen Schwarzman, Chairman of Blackstone, and John Hennessy, Chairman of Alphabet, discuss the changes and hidden opportunities following the COVID-19 pandemic under the theme "Pandenomics." Pandenomics is a portmanteau of pandemic and economics, referring to a new survival paradigm to overcome crises. It aims for shared prosperity through global coexistence rather than nationalism. Speakers diagnose geopolitical issues and responses, predict the direction of technological innovation and the future of industries. They also analyze trade disputes and economic stimulus measures, proposing a "bounce back" strategy for global economic recovery. "As always, new opportunities arise during crises."
