UNJournal Jon Lee | Before ever speaking of enlightenment, Buddha taught the power to reflect on one's own mind. Today in Korea, we call that power su-o-ji-sim (羞惡之心), having a conscience and sense of shame.

Looking at society today, one can see the

ArtsㅡCulture K-Graphy Brand Manifesto
UNJournal Jon Lee | The first letter, "K," is the national flag, "K" is not a letter of the alphabet. "K" is the accumulation of time that is Korea, a symbol condensed with the breath of history, spirit, and craftsmanship. "K" is no longer an adjective. "K" is the center, the starting point, the face of Korea facing the world. We put "K" first because it is not a matter of pride, but of responsibility. Graphy is language. Graphy is not the act of writing. Graphy is the way thought is expressed through lines. Lines before letters, shapes before words, the oldest language in which human thought
