본 연구는 케이팝(K-POP) 산업의 대표 기업 중 하나인 JYP엔터테인먼트의 ESG(Environmental, Social, Governance) 경영 전략 실천 사례를 체계적으로 분석하였다. 문헌연구, 기업공시자료, 미디어 보도 분석을 통해 JYP의 환경 보호 활동, 아티스트 인권 보장 및 사회적 가치 실현, 투명한 지배구조 구축 사례를 정성적으로 고찰하였다. 분석 결과, JYP는 친환경 음반 제작 및 디지털 공 연 전환을 통해 환경 부문에서 간접적 기여를 하였으며, 체계적인 연습생·아티스트 보호 메커니 즘과 윤리경영 헌장을 통해 사회적 책임과 투명성을 강화하고 있었다. 경쟁사인 하이브, 에스엠 엔터테인먼트와의 비교 분석을 통해 JYP는 ‘사람 중심 경영’ 철학을 바탕으로 균형 잡힌 ESG 실천을 추구하고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 K-콘텐츠 기업의 지속가능성 확보를 위한 ESG 경 영의 중요성을 강조하며, 향후 문화산업 내 윤리성과 지속가능성 강화를 위한 실질적 전략 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The aim of this study is to investigate fashion activism that supports sustainability by pursuing social transformation through social media. This is achieved by publicizing the environmental and labor problems of the fashion industry. For this study, a literary survey and netnography were conducted from January 2017 to November 2020. We classified and analyzed environmental and labor issues that could be considered fashion activism on social media. The results are as follows. First, movements for conscious consumption appeared as #haulternative, #fashionourfuture, #SecondHandSeptember, and #wornwear projects. These movements are concerned with buying used goods, re-dressing clothes owned by individuals, and transforming and wearing them with new methods. Second, activism for environmental protection includes #fashionOnclimate by Global Fashion Agenda and Sustainable Fashion Matterz’ #Watermatterz. These movements are directly involved in learning about the seriousness of environmental destruction caused by the fashion industry and participating in environmental protection with critical awareness. Third, the #whomademyclothes and the Clean Clothes Campaign are activism for improving the working environment, and are playing a role in publicizing labor issues by informing the general public about inadequate working conditions linked to the fashion industry. Thus, fashion activism on social media examined in this study can contribute to visualizing chronic problems that hinder sustainable development within the fashion industry.

Sustainability management has evolved into a concept for enhancing corporate sustainability by incorporating corporate social responsibility into the concept of sustainable development. Universities are expected to play a key role in creating a new paradigm for sustainability management by educating and nurturing future human resources. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the role of universities in introducing sustainability management indicators and practice in order to examine what role universities can play in promoting sustainability management and to fulfill their functions and roles. This study examined the current status of and the necessity for universities’ sustainability management and the international norms in order to promote sustainability management of universities. Then, the case study of domestic universities suggested practical implications for each factor of GRI guidelines. In order to develop the academic discussion, I hope that the elements for sustainability management presented in this study can be used as basic data.

The purpose of this research was to identify how students used social media during their experience with study abroad programs that focus on social and environmental sustainability. Key research questions included: Did students and program faculty directors perceive social media as beneficial or challenging to program goal? How did social media contribute to the overall learning process? How can this knowledge inform the design and implementation of future study abroad experiences? Surveys were conducted with students participating in three study abroad programs in three countries with varying levels of internet access. We found that most students used social media as a familiar support system to help acclimate to a foreign land, through the formation of cohesive peer groups and establishment of communication channels with family and friends. However, both students and program directors acknowledged the challenges of social media dependency. We conclude that judicious use of social media, when coupled with conscious immersion into the local environment and culture can enhance study abroad programs; and offer suggestions for future program planning.

Megacities in Asia such as Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore is modern and historical at the same time. Although technologically developed and highly urbanized, these megacities’ urban fabric and life-style heavily rely on human scale – the software of the urban – as its main shaping force. This interesting mixture and contrast is what gives this city its unique characteristics. It is very motivating to find out how the software – human, community & social aspects of everyday life, rather than hardware of the city – built environment itself, drive the evolution of Seoul to such high degree. Through continuous research and workshops, the software part of the city is investigated and the lowest level elements in urban fabrication - human are looked at in two distinguish methods; computational and analogue. Differences and similarities between them are questioned, by investigating the contrast between digital and physical, virtual and actual in the thinking process. The study looks at the formation of urbanism and architecture on the level of local communities, mapping the social data, and trying to approach this idea in multiple level and perspectives.
