The era of'with corona' that does not know when it will end, and therefore must coexist, is becoming a'new normal'. 



In this era of Corona 19, the new word'V-nomics' was picked as an important keyword in 2021. 



This is a keyword suggested by the professor's team at Seoul National University's Consumer Department, Kim Nan-do, who has suggested a new consumption trend in Korea every year. 



Vnomics is a compound word meaning "economics that Virus has changed and will change." 



Professor Kim Nan-do said at a press conference commemorating the publication of'Trend Korea 2021' today (13th), "Vnomics is a keyword designed with Corona in mind. We considered how the industry will recover and consumer preferences will change." .



Professor Kim predicted that in the era of Corona 19, the domestic economy will generally draw a K-shaped polarization. He also pointed out that in the era of Corona 19, a sense of community and tolerance, a sense of balance in the role of the government, and the organization's ability to respond to change are important. 



Regarding the reality of'untact' (non-face-to-face), "Amid Corona 19, the part where the ego is separated online and offline continues to arise." "The problem of identity that concerns who I am has become more important in the online era "He added.
