This special lecture will feature popular music critic Lim Jinmo and lecture expert Oh Sangik, who have been invited to host a discussion under the theme "Generational Empathy Talk Concert: K-POP Communication and Innovation," providing a platform for communication that fosters understanding and empathy between generations.
