As the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting kicks off in Gyeongju, the Republic of Korea, young voices like 24-year-old vlogger Kim Jeong-won are stealing the spotlight. 🎤 With this year’s theme ‘Building a Sustainable Tomorrow’, Kim’s story of eco-activism and cross-cultural curiosity is going viral among Gen Z audiences. 🌱
From Zero Waste to Global Citizen
Kim first embraced sustainability during her college ‘Zero Waste Challenge’ – swapping disposables for reusable bags and mastering trash sorting like a K-pop dance routine. 💃 Now, she’s using APEC’s platform to bridge cultures: ‘Through food, music, and shared eco-goals, we’re rewriting what global teamwork looks like.’
APEC’s Youth-Driven Future
With CGTN’s #ActToAction campaign amplifying young innovators across 21 APEC members, Kim hopes the summit will spark ‘real connections, not just Zoom screens’ between nations and regions. 🌐 Her message to leaders? ‘Sustainability starts when we see each other as neighbors – not statistics.’
