Ajou University held the ‘Exciting Unification Talk’ event on December 6th in Yulgok Hall’s Video Conference Room. The event consisted of lectures, quizzes, and a performance by an invited musician and helped to communicate unification at young people’s eye level.


The ‘Exciting Unification Talk’ was held with about 250 people, including students, professors and staff members from the University, and local citizens, participating.


It began with an introduction of the Unification Institute by Professor Yong Soon Kim, followed by lectures from Ajou University President Dong Yeon Kim and Vice Chairman Jeong Hun Cho of the Future Consensus Institute, a pop quiz on unification, and a Haegeum (Korea’s traditional chordophone) performance by North Korean defector Seong Jin Park.


Dr. Soo Seok Koh from the Unification and Culture Institute affiliated with The Joongang Ilbo newspaper then gave a lecture entitled ‘Future of the Korean Peninsula in the Era of Donald Trump,’ followed by another lecture by CEO Yoon Yi Kim of Neuro Associates under the title ‘Five Secrets to Make Your Future Productive.’ 


In addition, a student who defected from North Korea gave a speech under the title ‘My Experience in South Korea,’ and students who are taking the class ‘Understanding North Korean Society’ had discussions under the theme ‘North Korea, Unification, and the Future from the Perspective of Ajou University Students.’


The University organized the event to help build consensus on unification and promote communication between experts and the general public. Ajou is actively conducting various education and research activities related to unification after being selected by the Ministry of Unification as the Unification Education Leading University in March and chosen as the Unification Education Center for Southern Gyeonggi Province in April.
