The News1 Future Forum envisions a future where global as well as domestic challenges are met with collaborative solutions, and where sustainable growth and prosperity are realized through informed and inspirational discussions.
The News1 Future Forum will invite domestic and foreign experts, key figures in the government, leading entrepreneurs, and politicians to present blueprints for South Korea's new leap forward and engage in lively discussions.
We invite your active participation in sharing visions, solutions, and insights for a better world.

1. Exploring the Future of U.S.-Korea Relations and Security in Northeast Asia: With the U.S. presidential election poised to shape the international order, this forum will delve into potential implications for the relationship between the United States and Korea. Discussions will focus on the national security of the Korean Peninsular and potential risks to trade and industry.

2. Anticipating the U.S. Presidential Election and the Implications: There are widespread expectations that if President Biden is re-elected, the neo-Cold War dynamic centered around value alliances will become even more entrenched. On the other hand, if former President Trump, who advocates for America First, succeeds in returning to power, there are observations that the security in Northeast Asia and the international trade order will face new challenges. With political experts, we predict the U.S. presidential election and discuss its implications.

3. Addressing the Expectations and Challenges of the 22nd National Assembly: The 22nd National Assembly, which will lead Korea for the next four years, also opens its doors on the 30th. The Assembly urgently needs to address internal challenges such as low growth, social polarization, and job issues. In the April general elections, extreme divisions were evident over issues such as low growth and the U.S.-China hegemonic competition. Expectations are high that the newly inaugurated 22nd National Assembly will gather wisdom for cooperation to face domestic and international challenges.

4. Navigating Possibly Insecurity in the World Trade Order and Industry Impacts: There are concerns that if former President Trump wins the upcoming election, protectionist trade policies based on America First are expected to have a significant impact on the international trade order. Regardless of who becomes the leader of the White House, Korea must step up its preparations to minimize the challenges that changes in U.S. leadership may bring. Discussions will focus on supply chain issues, trade matters, and politically sensitive industries such as automotive, battery, and semiconductor. In addition, we will delve into the hydrogen industry, which is advancing as one of the mainstream energy resources.
