The university said Min, who has been teaching courses including “creatively opening business in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution” at Konkuk University and Hanyang University in Seoul, has started to give lectures on “promoting small businesses through digital tools” at the university in the first semester this year.
Min established the Sunfull Foundation, a nonprofit anti-cyberbulling organization, in 2007 after a famous celebrity committed suicide after seeing malicious comments on internet communities.
Since then, he has been leading the campaign to fight against such malicious comments by initiating moves to create a healthy online culture here.
The efforts have paid off to some extent. In one of the campaigns which his foundation had carried out in cooperation with the Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education in 2012, school violence in the city decreased 64 percent compared to the previous year after the foundation intensively provided education on the effects of malicious comments and the need for positivity.
Through his lectures in the university, Min said he will continue to cultivate students to be considerate and thoughtful, which have become essential requirements for businesses in the digital era.
