[Dialogue] Young People Discuss Korean Society / Gonghyun, Kim Juon, Lee-Kil Bora, Lee Jin-hyuk
The Quarterly Changbi 191, Spring 2021
Abstract
We hear the voices of young people about societal problems that have become clearly visible in Korea due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Basic Income Youth Network activist Kim Juon, youth human rights activist Gonghyun, film director Lee-Kil Bora, and publication editor Lee Jin-hyuk share frank and vivid stories, based on their individual lives and political experiences. While critically examining our society’s craze for real estate and stocks, as well as its discourse on the youth based on a generation theory, they offer various opinions worth our attention and respect concerning an imagination oriented toward humane living, one that helps us to plan new political initiatives, such as basic income and common housing.
