Koreans considered themselves as a critical link between the past and future and not as an autonomous individual of now, in contrast to what many westerners emphasized and modern Koreans are beginning to think. This study is to apply the "Asian Jeong Nang silver model" as a spirit of "happiness and dignity of the elderly " as the basic policy for the aging Baby Boomers. The way of life of Jeju Haenyeos was similar to the typical life style of retired Baby Boomers, who had been devoted to social contribution until the last minute, returning expert knowledge to the community. That’s why Haenyeo community was chosen as a typical archetype, as well as other example, for a new silver model development. Cross Cultural Ageing Initiative (CCAI)’s purpose is to promote international exchange and collaboration between Korea and United States for research, education and service for the aging population. To bring together the best practices of the East and West, involving all the stake holders of the wider community such as participants in “the 2021 Global Ageing Network(GAN) Biennial Conference : East meets West: Approaches to Healthy Ageing and Wellness in both Seoul and Jeju Island in S. Korea September by GAN and GAN Korea. In particular, the upcoming “Silver Tsunami” in Korean society shows the necessity of welfare models for Korean baby boomers who have retired as highly educated professionals.
