Theme: The Colors

In our society, colors represent the symbolic meaning of different. In the case of occupational groups, the "white" for office workers and the "blue" for workers working in the field have also been established as their symbols, depending on the color of the clothes they wear. We also call the Fourth Industrial Revolution and types of occupations like lawyers, who are heavily represented, as the 'Red Ocean.' On the other hand, ‘Blue ocean’ refers to people who are moving on to emerging fields, like artificial intelligence technicians. Finally, the media that we often encounter in our lives can also be expressed in color. Applying the development of TV to this, RGB terminals were initially developed and color TVs were developed to replace obsolete black-and-white TVs. In addition, it can be seen that LEDs have recently changed to thinner OLED TVs. This development has allowed us to express a variety of colors on TV, which has a significant impact on our lives. We have expressed every moment of society and individuality in color from the past to the present, and even now color is still an influential one that reveals the symbolism of the population. Living in the fast-changing 21st century, we cannot predict tomorrow at once, so we try to leave the future in transparent colors rather than opaqueness. And we're going to open the TEDx event where all the participants, holding the key to painting their future colors, could exchange various stories about colors and think deeply about their own colors. We also want to serve as a stepping stone to sow seeds on their way to the world and help them find colors that could represent their own individuality and our society.

중학생 시절, 찌질한 성격탓에 당했던 왕따, 세상과는 거리를 두고 살게 된다. 그럼에도 여행에서 느끼는 해방감을 따라 여행작가라는 꿈을 품었다. 그렇게 꿈을 품고 올라간 고등학교, 왕따생활도 청산한듯 날개를 펼치려던 때 사회가 요구하는 현실이 발목을 잡는다 처음에는 굴복하는듯 했으나 다시금 우물 안으로 빠지기 싫어 세상이 말하는 성공의 틀을 구부리고 뛰쳐나와 배낭을 메고 여행길에 나선다. 좁은길을 걷는다는 것이 꽤나 두려운 일이었고, 무시하고 비웃는 시선에 많이도 넘어졌지만 지금은 당당히 일어나 자신만의 길을 개척하는 중이다. 베스트셀러 작가, 100만 유튜버, 때때로 이런 것들을 이루고자 하는 욕심이 들지만 돈과 명예를 따라가는 것이 아닌 낮은 자리에서 겸손하게 행하고 싶다 . 많은 사람들에게 노출되는것도 좋지만 적게 보더라도 내 삶에서 선한영향력이 나와 사람들에 마음 속으로 들어가 함께 여행하는 사람이 되고 싶다
