The Jang Bogo Global Foundation, led by Chairman Kim Deok-ryong, is hosting a competition inviting creative works from both domestic and overseas Korean youth. The contest centers around the “Success Stories of Korean Merchants,” inspired by the historical figure Jang Bogo, a renowned Korean maritime trade leader of the 9th century. The foundation previously designated individuals as “21st Century Jang Bogo Ambassadors” and seeks to build upon this initiative by engaging young people. Submissions will explore and interpret the experiences and achievements of Korean diasporic communities. The competition aims to foster understanding and appreciation of Korean entrepreneurial spirit globally. Further details regarding submission guidelines and deadlines are available through the foundation’s official channels. The initiative seeks to inspire the next generation through the legacy of successful Korean merchants.
