The search volume for "job change" among South Korean office workers on the Blind platform has been cut in half over just three years. "This is not a time when you can easily move around." Amid structural changes including the "adoption of AI," office workers are experiencing employment instability, which has correspondingly reduced their demand for job hopping. On the other hand, the search volume for "this keyword" surged by 320% in just one year. Office workers are shifting their attention away from changing jobs—once considered the "shortcut to increasing one's market value"—and toward "this."

Moon Sung-wook, CEO of Blind, who has the fastest access to big data from 14 million office worker users in South Korea, the United States, and elsewhere, asserts the following:

"I think this is a greater upheaval than the internet and mobile revolutions. We are facing an era of maximum uncertainty."

"My son frequently asks me, 'Dad, should I go to college (in this AI era)?'
I told him, 'Go to college, but ○○ is unnecessary.'"

"The college majors chosen by high school graduates in California, USA, where Silicon Valley is located, are actually changing dramatically. The major I recommended to my son is ●●, and the major my son actually chose is □□."

"This is not a time when anything can be guaranteed. However, if humans are to survive moving forward, these 'two things' must be secured."

In [Smart Talk], Team Blind CEO Moon Sung-wook and Reporter Kwon Aelee sharply and smartly address the questions that "human office workers" trying to survive the "AI upheaval" would be most curious about!

1. Office workers lying low: "Let's stick it out where we are"
2. Office workers: "Financial technology is the only way to survive!"
3. What is needed to survive the "AI upheaval"...
4. What must we do now to survive?
5. "Ultimately, the major my son chose..."
6. If entry-level workers disappear like this...
