Cheong Wa Dae to Launch YouTube Broadcast 'Need for National Integration Dialogue' Starting Today

Cheong Wa Dae announced that it will launch a YouTube live broadcast titled "Need for National Integration Dialogue" starting today (the 19th), inviting citizens from various classes, generations, and regions to listen to their voices.

The initiative aims to foster an atmosphere of national integration by establishing a communication platform where people with different thoughts and positions can understand one another.

Held at the Cheong Wa Dae Open Studio, the YouTube live broadcast will be aired biweekly starting at 2 p.m. today through the KTV YouTube channel.

In today's inaugural episode, hosted by Heo Eun-ah, Presidential Secretary for National Integration, television personality Hong Seok-cheon, representing small business owners, and Park Hyun-woo, a young part-time worker, are scheduled to appear and converse about the hardships that small business owners and part-time workers may experience in the field.

They are expected to share their experiences regarding complaints such as "bosses who abuse power" and "part-time workers with poor attitudes," as well as the burden of the minimum wage on small business owners and the difficulties faced by young workers due to "split shifts" (fragmented employment), while also discussing concerns such as creating a labor environment of mutual respect.

In future broadcasts, an 80-year-old elder and a 20-year-old youth are planned to talk about the experiences and values held by their respective generations, and working moms and working dads will share the realistic concerns they face while balancing work and childcare, according to Cheong Wa Dae.
