Many companies are now studying these generational conflict issues and seeking countermeasures. As seen in the recent performance-based pay issue, the MZ generation is boldly showing their intention unlike the previous generation. This study focuses on LX Hausys' education program to overcome the generation gap. As a representative field education program of LXHausys, it is a longevity education program that was developed and operated at the end of 14 years and has been in operation so far. By acknowledging and understanding the generation gap through this educational program, it was possible to see that they could sympathize and accept each other one step further, and that trust in each other was formed on the basis of it. The success factors of the generation empathy program were identified as the willingness to share perceptions between labor and management, participatory education programs, active participation of members, and overcoming generation empathy. Through such education, the organization should continuously raise the issue of generational empathy and allow members to recognize it as an object to overcome. To this end, efforts should be made to overcome generational differences.

This study identified and compared family values within and across different generations concerning gender roles, attitudes toward diverse families, children, and parental roles. Data were obtained from the 2020 Seoul Family Report Survey. There were 1,949 study subjects, including first- and second-generation baby boomers and individuals in generations X, Y, and Z in Korea. Latent profile analyses were conducted using M-plus. Perceptions and views concerning family values were classified into different types. The main findings were as follows. Two types were identified among first baby boomers, and three were identified among second baby boomers. Most of the first and second baby boomers belonged to the "moderate" type. Two types were detected among those in Generation X. Regarding gender roles, most views of Generation X were slightly progressive, while their other family values were more moderate. Three types were identified among those in Generation Y: "progressive," "moderate," and "very liberal." Generation Z was identified as a "progressive" group. This study provides basic data to explore the direction of the coexistence of generations by identifying and comparing diverse family values within and across generations.

Generation MZ has emerged as a significant consumer segment and trendsetter in the fashion market of South Korea. Fashion designer brands have become popular among this generation by offering a range of fashion content on social network services (SNS) based on fresh and trendy designs. Despite the growing market share of fashion designer brands in the industry, previous research has mainly focused on brand personality in line with the characteristics of traditional fashion brands. Therefore, this study aims to derive brand personality and SNS characteristics of fashion designer brands based on previous research and investigate the influence of these factors on brand preference and behavioral intention. Moreover, it examines how this influencing mechanism fluctuates based on the consumer type (i.e., innovative type vs. price-sensitive type). Based on an online survey of 256 Korean adults with experience in fashion designer brands, this study identified the influencing mechanisms on purchase intention and word-of-mouth intention. This study contributes to empirical investigations of consumer brand preference and behavior intention in fashion designer brands through the brand equity model. It also offers insight into developing a segmented brand strategy by considering the variations in the influence mechanism of behavioral intention across different consumer types.

This article surveys the fashion forecasting industry in Korean domestic markets. With the rise of new media and devices with high technology, the paradigm of fashion trends forecasting systems has dramatically changed. New perspectives of trend forecasting are required to understand the trend flow and consumer behavior of the MZ generation. The research questions are as follows: 1) Major trend forecasting companies studied the development of their strategies and new forecasting methods. 2) The consumers' needs in the domestic market were analyzed. The influence of the trend companies' forecasting on the market was investigated. The results are as follows: 1) International trend forecasting significantly affected the domestic market. The concordance rate between consumers' online searches about fashion trends was approximately 70.14%. The match rate by category is as follows: The highest rate, 85.06% is from pattern and print, color is 83.92%, the item is 80.39%, and style is 54.32%. 2) Specialized information such as the Pantone color chart is being widely consumed, leading to a trend among the masses. 3) The Korean-specific socio-cultural background has an impact on domestic trends.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the opportunities in the food industry in the context of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse. The metaverse expands offline experiences into a virtual space and provides users with the advantage of overcoming the limitations of physical space. Research design, data and methodology: With the development of various contents based on advanced technology, the metaverse is becoming popular among the MZ generation (comprising millennials and Gen Zs), who are skilled at navigating digital platforms. Moreover, the previously entertainment game focused service has expanded to the business field after COVID-19; activities on the metaverse are now making space for economic value creation. I examined the recent global trends in the context of NFTs and the metaverse as well as the existing cases in Korea. Results: Globally, gaming and performance platforms such as Roblox, Fortnite etc. are still concentrated in the entertainment industry. However, as shown by ZEPETO and ifland in Korea there are many opportunities in the retail and food industries. Conclusions: We analyzed the ecosystems of the retail and food and beverage sectors, where the metaverse will be useful in the future, and have suggested the implications of the opportunities provided by the metaverse.

최근 코로나19로 인해 비대면으로 소통할 수 있는 플랫폼에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있으며, 가상 세계의 개념을 도입한 메타버스 플랫폼이 MZ세대의 새로운 SNS로 떠오르고 있다. 아바타를 통해 상호 교류가 가능한 메타버스는 텍스트 기반의 소통뿐만 아니라 음성과 동작 시선 등을 활용하여 변화된 의사소통 방식을 사용한다. 음성을 활용한 소통이 증가함에 따라 다른 이용자에게 불쾌감을 주는 혐오 발언에 대한 신고가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 기존 혐오 발언 탐지 시스템은 텍스트를 기반으로 하여 사전에 정의된 혐오 키워드만 특수문자로 대체하는 방식을 사용하기 때문에 음성 혐오 발언에 대해서는 탐지하지 못한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 인공지능을 활용한 음성 혐오 표현 탐지 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 음성 데이터의 파형을 통해 은유적 혐오 표현과 혐오 발언에 대한 감정적 특징을 추출하고 음성 데이터를 텍스트 데이터로 변환하여 혐오 문장을 탐지한 결과와 결합한다. 향후, 제안하는 시스템의 현실적인 검증을 위해 시스템 구축을 통한 성능평가가 필요하다.

코로나로 인해 비대면 생활이 지속되면서, 사람들은 실외 운동 및 만남 장소로 한강과 같이 탁 트인 야외를 찾고 있다. 이는 MZ 세대들의 건강과 몸매 가꾸기 등 자기관리에 대한 관심이 증가하는 트렌드와 시너지 효과를 내고 있다. 이러한 현상은 등산, 바디프로필, 필라테스, 헬스, 홈 트레이닝 등 운동에 대한 활동의 비약적 증가로 이어진다. 본 연구에서는 위의 두 가지 트렌드 흐름을 기반으로, 러닝을 시작하고 싶은 초보자들이 한강 공원에서 가볍게 시작할 수 있도록 하는 모바일 운동 앱인 'OnTheRiver'를 설계 및 구현하게 되었다.

몇 년 전부터 유행하고 있는 성격 유형 검사는 여전히 MZ세대들 사이에서 인기를 끌고 있다. 본래는 학교나 군대에서 성격 유형과 적성 파악을 위해 활용하던 검사였지만, 과학적 근거가 있으면서도 자신의 성격 유형을 쉽게 확인할 수 있어 하나의 문화로 자리 잡았다. 이에 마케팅 시장에서는 유형 검사를 활용하여 브랜드·제품 홍보에도 쓰이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연애와 관련된 유형 검사 사이트를 구현하고 참여한 사용자들이 입력한 정보와 선택한 설문, 결과를 바탕으로 전체 사용자, 남녀로 구분 지어 유형별 선호하는 데이트 스타일을 분석하고자 한다. 유형별에 맞는 데이트 장소를 추천하는 시스템을 개발하고, 이러한 시스템을 통해 데이트 장소를 정할 때 사용자들의 편의성을 도모하고 분석한 내용이 마케팅 시장의 브랜드·제품 홍보와 이벤트에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

MZ세대를 중심으로 자기관리를 열심히 하는 사람들이 증가함에 따라 화장의 기본이 되는 개인 피부톤(퍼스널 컬러)을 찾는 것이 중요시되고 있다. 현재 대다수 사람은 자신에게 어울리는 퍼스널 컬러를 찾기 위해 높은 비용을 지불하여 전문가를 이용하거나 객관적이고 정량화된 기준 없이 오랜 시간을 투자하여 스스로 퍼스널 컬러를 찾는 등 시간과 비용 측면에서의 한계점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 보완하기 위해 이미지 기반 인공지능 기술(객체 탐지, 객체 분할, BeautyGAN)을 적용하여 데이터 기반의 정량적인 기준을 생성하고, 퍼스널 컬러에 알맞은 화장품 추천 웹 서비스를 제안한다.
