Panel 1: Forming Opinions, Shaping the Future: The Impact of Social Media on U.S.-Japan-Korea Relations
9:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m.
Modern technologies have dramatically altered how people receive information, form opinions, and engage with international issues. Social media platforms influence public understanding of trilateral relations, often contributing to premature conclusions, misinformation, and polarized views. This panel explored how to promote genuine understanding amid information overload and how technology might be adapted to support more balanced perspectives on U.S.-Japan-Korea relations.
