Changes in language among the 'Gen Z' demographic, which is largely adept at technology, has created a barrier of communication with the older demographic. This is not least the case in South Korea, which possesses among the most advanced social media landscape.
Accordingly, in order to reduce misunderstandings and divisions that result from different language usage across generations and to restore a sense of community through the proper use of language, the Gimpo Branch of the Shincheonji Volunteer Group launched a "Language Communication Campaign" with local residents at the Clock Tower Plaza in Janggi-dong, Gimpo City, on the 23rd August.
Resident Ji-hye Lee (13, female), who participated in the 'Communication Quiz', said, “My grandmother lived in the era she lived in, and that is fascinating. I can brag to her that I learned her language. I will work to communicate more smoothly with her.”
Another resident and quiz participant, Moon-seon Jang (61), said, “After hearing the explanation about the importance of language, I am resolved to make an effort to avoid misunderstandings in my daily speech.”
Meanwhile, the "Language Communication Campaign" demonstrates that language need not become a barrier that divides generations, but rather a bridge that connects them.
