There may be a number of solutions, but the most important thing is to find the best way to persuade customers.” Hae-Sun Lee, President of CJ O Shopping Company Limited, focused on the importance of dynamic marketing during his lecture on May 27th. In his lecture, Enterprise and Business in the Era of a Web Smart Generation, Mr. Lee explained what the solutions for originality and creation are.

- S-ONE, ‘Campus saladents’ running in competitive job market
- S-ONE, ‘Campus saladents’ running in a competitive job market Six staff members of S-ONE, the Administrative Strategy Association at Sungkyunkwan University, pose from left Soon-Myung Lee (25), Seon-Hwa Park (21), Hoon Heo (25), Seon-Kyung Hag Lee (23), Eun-ji Lee (21), and Seung-Yeon Huh (22). They are the so called campus saladents, meaning half student and half salaried worker. Hoon Heo, S-ONE president, gave a presentation on Lotte Confectionery’s new product development at the end of last month. “Recently premium snacks have been gaining popularity over snacks in a bag. So, I focused my presentation to Lotte’s marketing team on that point. Even though they don’t accept 100% of our ideas, it seems that they rate students’ fresh ideas highly,” he said. S-ONE carries out industry-academia cooperation projects and internships at various corporations. In the fall semester, the group’s members developed an idea for an energy beverage which has been selling since the spring. During the last semester, S-ONE’s twenty-five members typically gathered together for three hours every night. As campus saladents they carry the burden of studying by day and working by night. Originally saladents referred to students who worked during the daytime and studied at nighttime in a graduate school or other academic institute, although now the trend has shifted. This is due to higher tuition fees and the severe unemployment rate. Students no longer wait to get a job but rather actively knock on the doors of conglomerates to obtain opportunities for participating on projects or to hold events in order to promote themselves. 『Source – excerpt from JoongAng Ilbo July 27th, 2010』

- Professor Dong-Ok Cha, civilian official of the Lottery Commission
- [Weekly DongA COVER STORY] “Lottery is a tonic for life and a friend helping the underprivileged” Lottery ticket costs only 500 won or 1,000 won. Compared to other forms of gambling, the lottery is an easily accessible means for trying one`s luck. Regardless of its easy accessibility and cheap cost, there is at least one person who cannot buy a lottery ticket. He is Professor Dong-Ok Cha, a faculty member of Sunkyunkwan University Business School and also a civilian official of the Lottery Commission. He is an admirer of the lottery and loves the lottery more than almost anyone. The reason why he cannot buy a lottery ticket is because of a regulation which prohibits lottery-related officials from buying any lottery tickets. “I used to buy lottery tickets before but not anymore,” said Professor Cha. Adding that there is nothing which excites like a lottery. “People used to have such high hopes that they thought it would be a waste of money if they failed to win. Now the lottery is regarded as just a leisure activity. Even though they didn’t win the lottery, many people felt their hearts were full in that they had helped low-income people and the underprivileged.” The Lottery Commission was introduced in 2004 and is affiliated with the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. It is charged with the authority and responsibility to oversee the lottery and to ensure its integrity, security and fairness. The Lottery Commission is composed of 21 members including civil officials and government officials under the chairman who is the vice minister of the Ministry of Strategy and Finance. Professor Cha has been working as a civil official since 2008. The civil officials of the Commission meet at least once a month and set policies for the operation of the lottery. The commission determines the types and forms of games offered by the lottery, determines the percentages of money paid for a ticket that is paid out in prizes, determines the price of each game and the number and size of prizes in that game, and decides how to use the net revenue effectively on government projects for lower income groups and to promote arts, sciences and sports. Professor Cha once had a critical mind on the negative impact of the lottery but his mind has changed now. He said that more than 40 percent of the net revenue is spent on numerous fruitful projects like supporting low-income residences running night classrooms for underprivileged children, and supporting multicultural families and other benefits. Adding, “The lottery is getting someone’s laughter, dream, and hope.” Lotteries in colonial America played a significant part in the financing of both private and public ventures. It has been recorded that more than two hundred lotteries were sanctioned between 1744 and 1776 where they played a major role in financing projects that included roads, libraries, churches, colleges, canals, and bridges. In the 1740s, Princeton and Columbia University had their beginnings financed by lotteries, as did the University of Pennsylvania by the Academy Lottery in 1755. Presently, many state lotteries in the USA donate large portions of their proceeds to the public education system. “When I participated in the World Lottery Conference, I found that there was a country which has a long lottery history over 150 years among 140 countries participated in the conference. On the contrary, lottery operation in Korea is still very limited and it is under government control in many parts.” If the increased revenue of the lottery is spent effectively on various projects for the public’s interests, the lottery operation in Korea will be improved as those abroad. If people recognize buying lottery tickets as a form of donation and enjoy buying the tickets, then the side effect of the lottery will be minimized. 「Source - excerpt from Weekly DongA 747 Issue』
