In Korea, a sugar company was first established at Pyongyang in 1920. But the real sugar industry began in 1953 when CJ Cheiljedang produced sugar at its Busan plant. Currently, three companies, CJ Cheiljedang, Samyang Corp., and TS Corp. are participating in the sugar industry. Sugar production increased from 647 tons in 1953 to 1,423 thousand tons in 2019. This means that the sugar industry has been grown by 2,200 times compared to 1953. Before 1953, all sugar consumed in Korea was imported, but now about 300 thousand tons, a 20 percent of sugar produced annually is exported. Population increase, economic growth, and food industry development contributed to the growth of sugar industry. However, recently the sugar industry has been stagnated due to the decrease of population and economic growth rate, and campaign of sugars and calories reduction. To overcome it, the continued development of various sugar application using emerging biotechnology is needed.

The development of Korean shipping industry is maybe defined into three development stages-industry fixing stage, industry coordinating stage, industry development stage-. The development of shipping industry has been depended on the geovernment/authority role such as shipping policy, system, law, rules and regulations. In 1983, Korean shipping industry reorganization and coordination by shipping authority have made our shipping industry on the stable condition together with each company's efforts. Today's world economic environment such WTO/UR negotiation results get this government role limited. According to the being reduced government role, each company's competitive advantage power becomes more important. Besides, korean shipping industry is exposed into the entire and bitter world competition. In order to win and prevent the world shipping competition, it is necessary to look out the competitive advantage power of Korean shipping industry. The first purpose of this study is the situation analysis for competitive advantage power of Korean shipping industry. The second is to compare with our shipping policies with foreign ones concerned with ship, cargo, crew, tax and others. But in order to compare with foreign shipping, this study need their shipping statistics data, this study has some limit of the foreign data. This study has been carried on the basis of the following items. 1. Shipping environment, 2. Ships and ship acquirement(shipbuilding/purchasing), 3. Oceangoing cargo and ship's stowage rate, 4. Human factor in shipping-crew, 5. The incomes and costs in finacial statements. We have some conclusions as following through the this study. First, Korean shipping industry environment-competitive disadvantage situation- has changed rapidly due to the shipping market opening, free market entering of foreign shipping. Second, Korean shipping is disadvantageous due to the high tax rate and financing conditions in connection with ship acquirement. In order to improve the competitive advantage power, the shipping tax system and ship financing conditions should be reviewed to profitable for owners. Third, but both world and Korean oceangoing cargoes quantity have been increased annualy, Korean ship's cargo stowage rate is being decreased. This is serious situation but Korean shipping take well use of foreign vessel with hire. It is recommended to take use of owner's vessel and hired ones in the long range view, considering the world shipping management. But the number of crew has been decreased by 2, 000~3, 000 annualy, it is desirable that the long sea-experienced crew have been increased. Almost of owners usauly complain the crew cost is the main obstacles to competitive advantage power. Human factor is the most important firm's asset. All owners should pay attention to this though, and invest the proper budget to training, education, welfare as much as possible. In the long run this effects could be feedback to owners. Fifth, We must improve the financial statements structure, that is, the first step is to increase income, the second is to decrease cost, the third is to increase income on the same cost, the fourth is to decrease cost on the same income. It is essential to find out what the urgent investment is and what unnecessary cost is. At last, in order to competite world shipping race, each shipping firm must try for himself to retain the power. The government/authority is no longer dependable. I believe that each firm's power will be the industry's power, the industry's power will be the nations's power.

A companion animal is a pet which lives and shares emotions with a person. The global pet industry economy has grown in recent times due to increased awareness of companion animals. In Korea, it grew from 800 million US dollars in 2012 to 2 billion US dollars in 2016, about 2.5-fold growth in five years. Within the pet industry, the pet food market occupies the largest market share having a value greater than 70 billion US dollars globally. In China, the average annual growth rate of the pet food industry is estimated at about 30%, and the market size is expected to reach 18 billion US dollars by 2020. The companion food market has potential to be the fastest growing and most viable food market in the future and would be a strategic employment avenue within the food industry. This report articulates the necessity for product development and institutional improvement of companion animal.

The Korean game industry has stopped growing due to internal and external instability. It is the fourth industrial revolution that has been mentioned as a new breakthrough in the domestic game industry in front of these internal and external instabilities. The fourth industrial revolution is changing the paradigm of the existing industrial structure, and has brought ecological changes not only to the manufacturing industry but also to the contents industry as a whole. In this paper, we will explore the development direction of domestic game industry through the 4th industrial revolution and study the relation between development of AI and AR / VR and game industry which will be the main core of the fourth industrial revolution in the future.

The $4^{th}$ Industry Revolution was advocated by Klaud Schwab who is founder of World Economic Forum at the Davos Forum in 2016, and there are big differences on ICT based $4^{th}$ Industry revolution in the aspects of speed, scope and impact compared with the 3rd Industry revolution. Creating new industries and values through technology such as internet of things, cloud, big data, and artificial intelligence are included in the meaning of The $4^{th}$ industry revolution. In this article, the direction of change to water technology in response to the $4^{th}$ Industry revolution is surveyed. 4G Water Infra should minimize environmental impact under the consideration of sustainable development and advanced technologies. To solve the existing water infra problems, it is common and fundamental that the intake water from nature can be regarded as borrowed from nature and it should be returned to natural state with improved water quality. Government, academic organizations and industries should prepare and collaborate together in order to help our country with outstanding capabilities in infrastructure construction and ICT to lead the 4G water technology development.
