During the approximately two-hour lecture, Director Hwang posed questions such as "When we believe in something, is it truly our own choice?" and "What kind of world lies ahead, and what should young people be concerned about?"


In the Q&A session that followed, various topics were discussed, including the distortion of online public discourse, the spread of extremism, the need for platform regulation, and the response of the political sphere. Director Hwang emphasized the importance of strengthening citizens' media literacy and institutional improvements in an increasingly complex information environment, which was well received by the audience.



Ahn Young-ha, Dean of the College of Social Sciences at Mokpo National University, stated, "We will continue to expand a variety of programs centered on the College of Social Sciences to strengthen the capabilities of democratic citizens."
