Period 1 - Lee Hyun-wook (Head of Gwangjang Architecture): Happy house-building
<Gwangjang Architecture — Peanut House>
Space: home, life, memory — or an investment?
Draw the neighborhood — Prugio?
Memories? — academies? Everyone's are the same, almost like army stories?
A co-op Peanut House — exchange with neighbors!
Pooling 300 million won each with a friend and building one big house
House too small? Make a yard and pitch a tent!
Succeeded on the third try — heating-bill mistakes, leaks… and yet, happy
Only three months in an apartment — kids can't grow there
No screen on the window! A bird flew into the yard and my kid slipped out through the hole
The foundation of housing is life itself
Period 2 - Cho Su-cheol (Pediatric Psychiatrist, SNU Medical School): Let's change the world with Beethoven
Truth, goodness, and beauty live in every human being; if we can draw them out, no law is unbreakable
Went deaf at 27
His most famous works were composed after going deaf
We need to understand his music as musical thinking, not emotion or sentiment
Composed through deep reading → Choral Symphony No. 9
Age 35: suicidal → reading → realized the weight of human existence → read until he died
Two stages of the creative individual
Acquiring information and knowledge
Creating something new and breaking the rules
Interest, reading, effort, fun
Du Fu — ten thousand volumes
Worked 112 hours a week — Edison (16 hours a day)
Sagadokseo (King Sejong's scholar-leave), the Shakespeare holiday (Victoria)
Period 3 - In Jae-jin (Artistic Director, Jarasum International Jazz Festival): Destiny and coincidence — putting Korea on the world jazz map
A show in the Philippines — a turn of the head — invited to perform — a last-minute stand-in at a Korean seminar — a chance listener, a junior civil servant — Jarasum
Period 4 - Jung Seon-hye (author of 'The Magic of Story'): The power of story to make you magnetic
Personal marketing
First magic — marketing: make yourself understood, and understand the other, so synergy can emerge between you
— Targeting: decide who you're speaking to
— Positioning: what concept do you want to be understood as?
Second magic — tell the story the other person wants to hear
Craft the story only a human can tell
Stories move hearts
Stories help people remember
Four stages of story
— Pick your audience
— Positioning
— Tell your own story (conflict is the key)
— Say what should be done
On 'I Am a Singer' — never finishing first from the start was devastating, but one word from the audience was enough
So empty yourself — just leave in people's hearts how much you struggled, how desperate you were
Truth and sincerity matter most
Period 5 - Lim Wan-su (CEO of Vertices, community-mapping expert): How community maps changed people and the world
Community maps — community mapping
It's not about the technology; it's about recognizing the change that happens in the mapping process
Discover, understand, analyze, share
imsocio
Gives people the confidence that they can change the world
There's so much great technology out there we don't even know about!
You can work with volunteers you never imagined
He dreamed, he prepared, he changed the world
Period 6 - Cho Dal-hwan (actor): Actors with flaws are the ones people love
Diligently
Well
Desperately
Fiercely
And before all that, a warm heart for people
Saram (person) = sarang (love) + sam (life)
Love and travel
Nothing is more beautiful than making a mistake…
Trying not to make a mistake makes you make an even bigger one.
Making a mistake without practicing is insulting.
Nobody sets off on a trip in a bad mood, right?
Go on a trip
Thank you for boarding my little, ramshackle boat
The people full of flaws receive the most love
Live a little warmer, a little more emotionally
Travel isn't about money
I travel every day
Cheon Sang-byeong — 'Back to Heaven'
Youth (청년) = 'young' because the sun is still blue
You can see the red sun as blue
Success — the posture of not sacrificing the present for the future
