Jangseong-gun to Host Academy with Artist Sin Yeri on the 1st of Next Month

Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 29th that it will hold the 21st Century Jangseong Academy by inviting writer Shin Yeri at the Jangseong Culture and Arts Center Small Theater on the 1st of next month.

Writer Shin Yeri majored in English Language and Literature at Seoul National University and worked as a reporter for JoongAng Ilbo newspaper since 1990.

In 2011, she moved to JTBC broadcasting and served as the anchor for the program "Night Debate" for seven years, and led the planning and production of Korea’s first interactive lecture program "Different Class" for six years.

She later served as the first and only female executive as the head of JTBC’s current affairs and culture division.

Since last year, she has left her job and has been filling her new career as a "writer," including writing the book "Thoughts While Learning Ballet."

The theme of this lecture is "The Strength to Endure and the Strength to Rise Again," where she will share her sincere reflections on life based on her own experience of learning ballet for the first time at the age of 55.

Her attitude of moving forward through continuous challenges is expected to inspire many with the courage to rise again.

The 21st Century Jangseong Academy is held every first and third Thursday of the month, but in August, due to the third week being Liberation Day, the event will be held one week later on the fourth week to meet the audience.

Anyone can attend without prior registration, and real-time listening is also possible through Jangseong-gun’s YouTube channel as the lecture begins.

Lectures that have agreed to share materials can be viewed again on Jangseong-gun’s website and YouTube.
