On March 17, 2017, the DIS held a special lecture with Professor Min Byung Chul, chairman of the Sunfull Foundation.

About 100 people attended, including the chairman of Hanyang University, the DIS professors, and students in the DIS and GSIS. Under the theme “Ideas to Reality”, Professor Min spoke about how he established a foundation that encourages positive comments on social network sites. One of the main objectives of the Sunfull Foundation is to eradicate negative or abusive communication on SNS, an ambitious goal that has led to it receiving numerous awards from the Korean government. Through this lecture, the DIS students became aware of the seriousness of the harms caused by the Internet’s culture of anonymity. Professor Min also emphasized the importance of creativity in the imminent Fourth Industrial Revolution.
