Seoul, South Korea — Youth Break the Boundaries once again presented a high-impact panel discussion at Korea Youth Summit 2026. This time, participants had the opportunity to learn directly from Betty Chung, an academic and practitioner in global business education.

During the panel session, delegates were invited to explore how international business education is designed to respond to the increasingly complex and dynamic global workforce.

Betty Chung’s Role in Global Business Education

Betty Chung serves as Academic Director of the Global MBA at Korea University Business School, one of South Korea’s leading business schools. In this role, she plays an active part in developing management curricula that are globally oriented, practical, and aligned with industry needs.

Drawing from her experience, Betty emphasized that business education should go beyond theory. She highlighted the importance of leadership development, social empathy, and strong cross-cultural understanding as essential components of modern business education.

Global MBA: An Intensive Program for Future Leaders

In her presentation, the former Executive Director of the Association of Asia Pacific Business Schools outlined the structure of the Global MBA Track. This program is a one-year, full-time intensive course delivered entirely in English.

The curriculum combines core courses, elective subjects, and a Business Practicum involving real companies. Delegates gained insight into how modular learning, industry engagement, and direct interaction with global leaders help build international career readiness from an early stage.

Applied Learning and Building Global Connections

One of the main topics discussed was the applied learning approach. Students are not limited to classroom instruction but are challenged through real business cases, consulting projects, and global leadership forums.

Supported by a strong alumni network, world-class faculty, and active involvement from global executives, business education becomes a platform for building sustainable international connections. This aspect is especially relevant for you if you aim to pursue a career at the regional or global level.

Preparing for Global Careers Through Education

Betty Chung also highlighted the importance of post-graduation career readiness. Programs such as career acceleration initiatives, mentoring, and direct exposure to global companies are designed to help students adapt quickly to professional environments.

According to her, future leaders must combine analytical skills, empathy, cross-cultural collaboration, and the courage to make decisions in uncertain and fast-changing situations.

Conclusion

Through her panel session at Korea Youth Summit 2026, Betty Chung delivered a strategic perspective on the role of global business education in shaping future leaders. Her insights reaffirmed that education is not merely about earning a degree, but about building character, networks, and social impact.

This session further strengthened the role of Youth Break the Boundaries in opening access to global perspectives for you who aspire to grow, stay competitive, and contribute confidently on the international stage.
