TEDxSinchon 웹사이트(클릭) 에 소개된 연사 정보
Creative minority, Kim Jung Wook. Although known as a documentary filmmaker and graphics designer, he is most renowned for accomplishing a highly unusual feat: traveling round Korean waters on a 24-foot sailboat. After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in graphics design, he entered iMBC, only to leave the company in pursuit of a free culture creating lifestyle. He does not want to limit his life to a single career path. Rather, he seeks to carve out a colorful identity through a wide range of commitments and experiences. He believes that time spent on waters without a definite purpose is not time wasted. He assumes what might seem like an unconventional stance by urging people to simply be themselves and live their own lives, even if doing so might be perceived by others as failures. His dedication to yachting, surfing, and other unique commitments has garnered media interest and opened up a staggering variety of opportunities including holding an exhibition, giving lectures, appearing on TV, planning and directing documentary films, and designing equipment and supplies for Busan Cup Women's Match Race.
TEDxSinchon 소개
TED는 ‘퍼뜨릴만한 가치가 있는 아이디어(Ideas worth spreading)‘을 기치로 내세우는 미국의 비영리 재단입니다. TED는 1984년 기술(Technology), 엔터테인먼트(Entertainment), 디자인(Design) 세 분야에 대한 컨퍼런스로 시작되어 최근에는 여러 분야의 주제를 가지고 연례 컨퍼런스를 개최하고 있습니다. TED Conference의 연사는 세계에서 가장 흥미로운 아이디어를 가진 사람들이자 행동가입니다. 이들은 자신들이 살아가면서 깨달은 새롭고 창의적인 아이디어를 18분의 이야기로 풀어냅니다. 18분동안의 언급된 아이디어는 전 세계로 퍼져 많은 사람들의 공감을 얻곤 합니다. 그 예로 지구 온난화의 심각성을 역설한 앨 고어(Al Gore) 전 미국 부통령의 ‘불편한 진실(Inconvenient truth)’이 있습니다. 이 외에 다른 ‘퍼뜨릴만한 가치가 있는 아이디어’는 www.TED.com 에서 감상하실 수 있습니다.
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 25 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. The annual TED Conference invites the world’s leading thinkers and doers to speak for 18 minutes. Their talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Al Gore, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani,Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The annual TED Conference takes place in Long Beach, California, with simulcast in Palm Springs; TEDGlobal is held each year in Oxford, UK. TED’s media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily, and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide. TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world, and the TEDFellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.

What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxSinchon, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxSinchon event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
