News1 Future Forum is a venue for Korean popular real-time news agency News1 to discuss global challenges and seek answers for a better future. To facilitate constructive talks, we will bring together international experts, scholars, and entrepreneurs from all over the world.

The forum’s main objective is to present solutions for sustainable growth and prosperity through forecasting future trends and exploring ways to overcome challenges facing Korea.

The year 2024 is a so-called "super election year," with one-third of the world's population holding elections. While 4.2 billion voters cast ballots in 76 countries, the U.S. presidential election in November will determine the direction of the international order in the 21st century.

This year's News1 Future Forum examines the future of the U.S.-Korea relations, changes in the trade order, and industry impacts in preparation for a possible change in U.S. leadership.

The upcoming significant changes demand proactive measures from the 22nd Assembly. The National Assembly takes initiative in overcoming challenges such as low birth rates, an aging population, low growth, and economic disparities, and it must swiftly address tasks related to the rapidly changing security, economic, and diplomatic environments in Northeast Asia. The topics discussed in this forum are expected to serve as opportunities to reflect on the key tasks of the 22nd National Assembly.
