Hong Kong Secures Multiple First-Ever MICE Events Amidst COVID-19 ChallengesThe Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) announced that Hong Kong has been recently chosen as the host city for 4 international MICE events, including the city’s first-ever events of high strategic values, and 2 repeated events amidst the COVID-19 challenges. These business events are expected to bring in about 10,000 high-yield visitors in total and deliver great economic contribution to the city and drive multi-sector development. Dr YK Pang, Chairman of the HKTB, said, "We are excited to see Hong Kong winning such strategically important MICE events against competitors around the world. It is encouraging to see major events to be held in our city for the very first time, such as the International Airline Transport Association (IATA) World Cargo Symposium, Asia Sports Technology Conference and the Congress of the Asian Society of Transplantation (CAST) 2023. It demonstrates international event organisers’ confidence in Hong Kong as a strategic, safe and hygienic destination for high-profile business events. The HKTB will continue to proactively engage international and Hong Kong organisers to bid for hosting rights of major MICE events and step up efforts in attracting repeated events with a view to maintain Hong Kong’s status as The World’s Meeting Place.” One of the MICE strategic focuses of the Board is medical science. The winning of The Congress of Asian Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (ASCI) 2022 certainly gives Hong Kong’s MICE industry a shot in the arm. Dr Lilian Leong, Founding President & Immediate Past President of the Hong Kong College of Radiologists, pointed out the city’s reputation in related profession and all-round support to MICE organisers are the key winning factors of the bid. "Hong Kong’s world-leading position in medical science, especially in radiology and cardiology, certainly sets it apart from its competitions. Also, Meetings and Exhibitions Hong Kong (MEHK), a division of the HKTB, provides professional one-stop services in every step since the bidding stage. We are grateful for the support we received.” Another event organiser, Mr Phillip King, Founder and Chairman of Varcis Group Ltd, explained his decision of why Hong Kong is chosen to host the first Asia Sports Technology Conference in the Greater China region. "As the gateway to Mainland China and its burgeoning sports market, with a superb infrastructure, strong financial and investment credentials, excellent IP protection and common law, plus an excellent Innovation & Technology Hub with a thriving start-up ecosystem, Hong Kong is the ideal destination for hosting this first-ever sports tech conference in the Greater China region, as it also plays a pivotal role in the Greater Bay Area. We strongly believe we will draw one of the largest number of attendees from the APEC region for a sports tech event hosted in Asia.” Hong Kong’s unrivalled core strengths also attract the return of past events. Mr Kenny Lo, Chief Executive, Vertical Expo Services Company Limited and organiser of Asia Funeral and Cemetery Expo & Conference 2021 casted his vote of confidence, "Since the first edition came to Hong Kong back in 2009, the show has gradually developed into the largest international expo and conference of its kind in the Asia Pacific region. We have every confidence that the city will bring our next three editions to even greater height.” The HKTB has prepared a series of recovery campaigns for the MICE industry and is closely monitoring the development of the pandemic in various source markets. The campaigns will be launched when the time is right.

Gwangju: Light of Liberty in East AsiaSouth Korean Film: The Man Standing Next After watching the 2020 South Korean film, "The Man Standing Next,” about the events leading up to President Park Cheong-hee’s assassination by his close friend, and head of the CIA (South Korean) Kim Jae-gyu on ) October 26, 1979, I decided to learn more about the South Korean democracy movement. Leading up to Park’s assassination a series of social, economic, and political events transpire, culminating in KCIA Director Kim Jae-gyu’s decision to assassinate President Park. First and most importantly President Park’s continuation of the authoritarian Yushin Constitution, first instituted through martial law and dissolution of the National Assembly, its continuation fueled popular political opposition for open presidential elections nationwide. On August 9th, 1979 the female workers of the YH Trading Company staged a lockout in protest of the Park Administration (any criticism of the Yushin Constitution demanded 15 years of prison). The opposition party, led by Kim Young-sam (native of Busan), heavily criticized the action and was subsequently expelled from the National Assembly on October 4, 1979: 66 other National Assembly members resigned in protest. This political unrest was also being fueled by the Oil Shock (starting in July 1979) which hit the cities of Busan and Masan the hardest, where they experienced an unemployment rate twice the national average. It was just too much and on October 16, 1979 student led popular protest (starting at Busan University) quickly spread to neighboring Masan, where the students of Kyungnam University led their own popular uprising. The film depicts a defining question of the film: "How much are you willing to sacrifice?” "Why did we do the revolution? Why are we doing any of this? To kill 2-3 million citizens to stay in power? Is that worth the sacrifice?” Director Kim Jae-gyu decided that it was too many, and he sacrificed himself so that the people of Busan and Masan could live. May 18 Gwangju Uprising But in the ensuing political confusion after Park’s death, General Chun Doo-hwan took power in a military coup on December 12th, 1979, which set the stage for confrontation with student democratic reformers in the Spring of 1980. General Chun and his cadre had learned an important lesson from the Busan and Masan uprisings: "To maintain control popular protests must be dealt with swiftly, harshly, and with overwhelming force.” When students returned to campuses in the spring of 1980 and once again took the streets in protest against authoritarian rule (this time starting at Seoul Station), General Chun chose Gwangju to send a message to the rest of South Korea: do not challenge his rule. After visiting, Busan and Masan, I also decided to visit Gwangju to learn more about the Gwangju May 18 Uprising. I took the KTX train south from Seoul Station (just two hours), jumped on the 518 bus and toured the city of Gwangju. Similar to the Busan – Masan Democratic Protests just 7 months prior, students from Chonnam and Chosun University also led the popular protests in Gwangju. Although this time, General Chun was ready and on May 18, 1980 he declared martial law for the entire country: instituting curfews, shutting down universities, prohibited political activities, and freedom of the press. The Gwangju Uprising was famously ended through military force, turning the downtown streets of Gwangju into a warzone. The sacrifice of the Gwangju citizens for liberal democracy in South Korea (representative government, civil liberties, freedom of the press and assembly) resonates as you walk through the gates of the May 18 National Cemetery, reading "Democracy’s Strength,” and view the headstones of all those who fought and died against authoritarian rule. A Nation that Forgets its Past has No Future As authoritarian and totalitarian regimes around the world rise again, the past becomes ever present, and for people that forget their past there is no future. Current generations, with no memory of the sacrifice or danger, must learn again to fight authoritarian rule. It is the burden of each and every generation to keep the authoritarian rulers at bay, to fight them for every inch, because in the end the light always wins, and Gwangju (meaning the City of Light) continues to shine not only as a beacon of liberal democracy but for the Korean people, but for people around the world. In the recent Hong Kong uprisings (Fall of 2019), student led protests on South Korean campuses called for the support of the Hong Kong democratic protestors. There were even clashes on South Korean campuses between South Korean students and Chinese exchange students (now 70,000 in South Korea). The Hong Kong democratic protestors even sang the famed "March” song of the Gwangju Uprising throughout the streets of Hong Kong. Gwangju, the City of Light, shines on as a leader of liberal democracy in East Asia. It is our responsibility to not only not forget the sacrifice, but to keep its promise with our own. A new generation of leaders is needed to fight this new wave of authoritarianism.

#MeToo in North and South KoreaIn South Korea The monsoon season has finally ended in Korea. After 54 days of constant rainfall the season broke, and the forgotten heat of summer oppressively returned. As I walked down the vibrant, heat-soaked street between the high-rises, masked up of course, I couldn’t help but notice what seems to be the latest fashion trend in Seoul: ‘baggy pants’ or ‘baggy blue jeans.’ The sight of the pants made me sweat, but the young women didn’t seem to mind, rather it seemed to be a statement of some sort. In this heat, it was definitely a statement. As I asked around about the new look, a consensus began to form: "Young women were pushing back against the social expectations, driven by the desires of men (high heels, mini-skirts/tight pants), by dressing comfortably (flats, baggy pants).” Despite worldwide COVID-19 economic stagnation, as economic opportunities continue to grow for women in South Korea, so do their choices, and wearing of baggy pants is just one subtle example of that choice. The politics of dress recently took centered stage when a South Korean lawmaker, Ryu Ho-jeong, was harshly criticized for wearing an outfit (one-piece dress) to the National Assembly. Economic disparity between males and females in South Korea ranks last in the OECD with a considerable gap between the sexes. In South Korea’s male-oriented society women are expected only to marry a high-status spouse and raise a family. But women in South Korea have been quietly rebelling. Nightmare stories of married life don’t help: holidays with in-laws (시월드), unending housework, and the new stigma of being a "Mom Insect” (맘충) has many women putting off marriage (only marrying for love) or not getting married altogether. The bestselling novel "Kim Ji-young: Born 1982” and now recently released film on Netflix follows Kim J-young, an ordinary 30-something South Korean woman, facing the uneven reality of being a woman in modern-day South Korea. The Guardian referred to the novel by Choo Nam-joo as the "South Korean #MeToo bestseller” and the BBC labeled it a "Feminist” film. Sexual harassment in the workplace continues to plague high level officials in South Korea with the Mayor Busan (South Korea’s second largest city) resigning this past spring, and the Mayor of Seoul allegedly committing suicide due to #MeToo cases. A combination of newfound economic independence provides choices that never existed before. Quite simply young women in South Korea are not getting married, a trend that also exists in North Korea. In North Korea Through direct accounts from North Korean defectors, "The Daily Lives of North Koreans,” published in March of this year, details daily life trends north of the border. In North Korea the pressure to marry and do your duty for your country is quite similar to the South with women who are not married regarded as "non-existent” (with no status). Economic pressures in North Korea, with the introduction of a black-market economy to account for market failures, has also provided women with new choices: arranged marriages are now declining and marriages for love are on the rise. A 53-year-old defector who left in 2013 stated, "In general, women don’t want to get married. Because men flip over the table, yell and hit women. Even if women ride their bikes and work, they can't even make enough money to eat rice. But if my husband says he wants to drink some alcohol I must prepare everything for him. I think it’s best for women to make our own money and eat plenty of porridge. That's what I think.” According to North Korea's 2008 official census, almost everyone is married and has a spouse in North Korea by their late thirties. But statistics can be deceiving. Many who were once initially married but later separated never report their new status to the authorities. Unlike in South Korea it is illegal to co-habit in North Korea without a marriage license and officials will punish violators who do not carry the proper documentation. But since marriage is expensive and requires significant economic status to get married, more and more men and women live together without following official procedures. North Korean defectors say, "Some people live together because they love each other, some people live together because their parents prohibit their marriage, and others do it for economic survival. Unlike before, I don't think there are many good things about a woman getting married. This is because women have a low status in the family, the male-centered culture remains.” Reuter’s reported South Korea’s birth rate is the lowest in the world at 1.1 per woman out of 201 countries surveyed and North Korea isn’t far ahead at 1.91 per woman. With no end in sight to the COVID-19 pandemic the uncertainty of South Korea’s economic future will likely further postpone decisions to marry, raise children, or even date. With the world on pause as we seek to adapt and overcome the COVID-19 crisis Korean women have not stopped their battle against socio-economic inequality using online communities to support one another and organize campaigns. One keep but help but wonder if North and South Korean women are working together.
