[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Seung-yong Lee, president of the Korea Automobile Journalists Association (publisher and editor-in-chief of Motor Magazine), received a commendation from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism.


According to the Korea Automobile Journalists Association on the 2nd, he was awarded the commendation from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism at the 'Government Awards for Contributions to Magazine Development' ceremony held at the Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the 1st, marking the 56th Magazine Day.


Editor-in-chief Seung-yong Lee has provided insightful information about the automobile industry since joining Motor Magazine in 1996, progressing through roles as reporter, team leader, editor-in-chief, and finally publisher. He was especially recognized for his contributions to the development of the automobile and magazine industries through the operation of digital channels and content targeting the MZ generation.


Since being appointed president of the Korea Automobile Journalists Association in February last year, Editor-in-chief Lee has been steadily working to promote the media’s role in advancing the automobile industry, foster the establishment of a proper automobile culture, and enhance exchanges among automobile journalists.



Meanwhile, Magazine Day was designated in 1965 to commemorate the founding date of the youth magazine by Yukdang Choi Nam-seon, a pioneer of modern magazines, on November 1, 1908. This year marks the 56th anniversary. Every year, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism awards individuals who have contributed to the development of magazine culture on Magazine Day, aiming to boost the morale of magazine professionals and promote the growth of the related industry.
