I'm glad to share the news of our makers! I look forward to bringing you updates not only from the Meisters who have been with us before but also from the makers. Please keep sending updates to Editor.S! It's my hope that through the MNM (METES newsletter), read by so many diverse people, we can connect with each other. Keep sharing good news! 😊 |

During the Life & Its Challenge session, we discussed the topic 'Numbers are dodgy' - can everything be measured in numbers? We tried to express ourselves as numbers and realized that, although our numbers were unique, they couldn't fully explain us as individuals. In school, people are often ranked from first to last, but there are so many aspects of ourselves that can't be captured by numbers alone. We discussed non-material successes and personal pride, realizing that there are aspects of ourselves that cannot be quantified. |

As part of our lunch talk, we were joined by Professor Joong Yung Shin, a founding member of the Asan Nanum Foundation, who planned the Chung Ju-yung Startup Competition. Hearing about the professor's new challenges after leaving academia, we realized the importance of gaining diverse experiences. Let's embrace diversity and variety through our experiences! |

We hosted Eric Jung, who has experience in major corporations, startups, and startup incubation, to discuss 'Entrepreneurship & Startup ways'. We talked about why one should start a business and the common misconceptions about entrepreneurship. We learned that entrepreneurs don't necessarily have special DNA or required specs. Instead, entrepreneurship is about recognizing problems customers aren't aware of, continuously testing, and finding solutions through trial and error. Successful entrepreneurs gather goal-oriented teams to commercialize solutions, generate profits, and grow rapidly. Remember to ask entrepreneurs why they started, why they're the right person, why now, and the societal significance of their work. Don't forget the vision and just do it! |

We once again hosted Jaewoo Seol, a regional culture planner and local content creator. Returning from frequent trips to Africa, he shared his insights that there are great opportunities and a future in Africa. Discussing the importance of content that promotes local areas, we realized the significance of connecting local residents and visitors. Through deep and meaningful responses, he highlighted the importance of local culture and reminded us that global perspectives are closely linked to local contexts. |

We had our fifth Metaverse session with moderator Forest. This time, we were joined by special guest Jinha Lee, the creator of Spatial. We explored Clipdrop based on #StableDiffusion, various image generation AI tools like Leonardo.ai, Wrtn, and playground.ai, and space configuration features such as Sketchfab and Furniture are supported by Spatial. We're excited about the digital world possibilities that we'll continue to explore with METES Makers! |
