[Park Soon-shin's Column] The Light of 10,000 Hours: A True Milestone for Journalism Illuminating Society
- The Social Resonance of CTN CEO Ka Geum-hyuns Medal of Honor -
It is by no means an easy feat to seek out the dark corners of the world and light a warm lamp. Moreover, it is even rarer for a journalist, whose lifeblood is sharp criticism and fair reporting, to humbly bow and dedicate themselves to their neighbors. On June 19th, at the "2026 Chungcheongnam-do Volunteer Awards" held at the Asan Terminal Wedding Hall, the news that Ka Geum-hyun, CEO of CTN—Koreas leading internet newspaper—received the "Chungcheongnam-do Independent Medal of Honor" brought deep resonance and touching inspiration to our society.
This Medal of Honor is not merely an award commending someone for "volunteering for a long time." According to the strict regulations of the Chungcheongnam-do Volunteer Center, it is the highest honor bestowed only upon those who have accumulated over 10,000 hours of volunteer service. It is a milestone that can only be reached by filling more than 14 years, without skipping a single day, for two hours every day. Since this is the officially certified record, the sweat and hidden efforts poured out by CEO Ka in unseen places have long surpassed tens of thousands of hours.
Starting with the foundation of the Seosan Hanseo Rotary Club in International Rotary District 3620, CEO Ka has been working on the front lines of youth protection and supporting the underprivileged, currently serving as the President of the Chungnam Federation of the Korea Youth Protection League, the Chairman of the Chungnam Council for Monitoring Harmful Environments to Youth, and the President of the international volunteer organization Love in Kamco. His footsteps, leading monitoring and guidance activities to protect youth from harmful environments and spearheading educational and support projects for marginalized youth, have been the very backbone of the local community.
"Volunteer work is the greatest force that moves and changes our society, and it is a valuable endeavor that fulfills myself." — From CEO Ka Geum-hyuns acceptance speech
At this juncture, we must pay attention to the "high status as a journalist" and the "unrivaled social contribution philosophy of CTN" demonstrated by CEO Ka.
Journalism is often regarded as a watchdog and critic of society. However, CEO Ka did not stop at criticism; he became a warm practitioner of sharing, representing the voices of the socially vulnerable. Leading CTN Newspaper & Broadcasting, Korea's top internet newspaper, and prioritizing public value to spread a culture of warm sharing, his actions have personally established a new mission and status that modern journalists should pursue. This is precisely why CTN has established itself as an "icon of social contribution" that makes society clear and healthy, going beyond a simple news medium.
If the world can be changed with a pen, the world can be saved through action. CEO Ka infused warmth throughout Chungnam with these two powerful weapons: the pen and action. The receipt of this 10,000-hour Medal of Honor is a natural fruit of his dedication and will serve as a milestone that lends greater strength to the public interest activities that CTN will walk in the future.
As stated in his aspirations, looking forward to a safer, healthier Chungnam and a warmer Republic of Korea that CTN and CEO Ka will create in the future, I send my unreserved respect and applause of congratulations.
