[스타데일리뉴스] Attention is focusing on whether the Jeonju International Film Festival, the cradle of independent films, will catch two rabbits: establishing an identity and securing popularity by switching to a co-executive chairman system.
The Jeonju International Film Festival Organizing Committee (chaired by Jeonju Mayor Woo Beom-gi) decided on the board of directors on the 14th that Deputy Executive Director Min Seong-wook and actor Jung Joon-ho be co-chairs, and on the 26th, Jeonju Mayor Woo Beom-gi, chairman of the organizing committee, delivered a letter of appointment from the mayor’s office.
Horsepower is a unit of power, the higher the better. It is expected that this two-headed carriage system will create synergy effects over the next three years.
Min Seong-wook, a professor at Baekje Arts University’s Department of Broadcasting and Entertainment, is the new co-chairman of the Jeonju International Film Festival. .
There is a point in any organization where change and innovation are required for greater development and survival. Samsung, which shines in Korea as a world-class electronics company, would not have the glory it has now if it was operating as it was in the days of Cheil Jedang, smuggling saccharin and selling sugar.
The 1st Jeonju International Film Festival in 2020 was conducted with a focus on non-competition. .
The co-executive chairman system, which will be implemented for three years from the 24th in 2023, maintains its existing identity and creates more publicity through greater communication. Noticed.
The Jeonju International Film Festival, which has become a two-headed carriage system, is led by Mayor Woo Beom-ki, who was chosen by Jeonju citizens, as the organizing committee chair. It is interpreted as a trick that Woo, chairman of the organizing committee, came up with following anguish for the development of Jeonju. This is because the market is a place that promotes the happiness of citizens and the development of the city.
While expectations are high for the co-chairman system, it is not without concerns and antipathy. When the co-chairman system was established at the board of directors on the 14th, actor Kwon Hae-hyo and directors Bang Eun-jin and Han Seung-ryong resigned from their directorships. Resigning because the board of directors decided once morest one’s opinion may be sincere towards the film festival, but it may also seem irresponsible.
On February 28, 2013, the late Johnny Yoon (the late Yoon Jong-seung) comedian said at an following party with overseas Koreans following visiting Panmunjom, “Korean people are so smart. When someone tries to do something, they say no to this or that It’s like, I haven’t even worked,” he once said. He wanted to succeed as a Korean comedian in the United States and contribute to the development of tourism in his country by mobilizing all his infrastructure, but was heard as an opinion regarding his frustration.
The Republic of Korea is a country that rose from the ruins following the Korean War, became one of the world’s top 10 economic powerhouses, and achieved democracy. If there had been no change in the Republic of Korea for the past 80 years, it is self-evident that our people would have been living in hell naked, starving, and oppressed.
The co-executive chairman system is a matter decided by the board of directors of the Jeonju International Film Festival Organizing Committee. The term of office is 3 years. It is not too late to cheer for them for three years and applaud them when they achieve great success and development three years later, and criticize them when the results of the change are not good.
