Park Ji-hoon has his own intelligence sources and knows far more than the outside world, and watching mobile news is not to obtain information, but to understand the attitude of the people.

Of course, instead of taking it from those forums and portals, it is obvious that someone is behind it, how can it not be possible not to use the Internet water army?

Socially from your own neighborhood.

Today's neighborhood social is no longer an ordinary social APP, extending its tentacles to almost all aspects of daily life!

This is also where his confidence lies.

The Internet has a natural tendency to be pan-entertaining when disseminating information, especially in recent years, it is becoming more and more simplistic and entertaining. The W Department of Information is responsible for ensuring this.

Want to see a variety of professional categories, there are, food, sports, finance, real estate, ...... Neighborhood social is a closed APP, requiring true and effective information, so at first many people were disgusted and resisted, but after the APP was opened up, various preferences, majors, regions and other sections were established, and more and more people began to join. It's like a snowball, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and they don't even need their own promotion, just like many students like a certain celebrity just to have a common language with their classmates, and the same is true for adults, in order to have a common topic and not be excluded, they have also joined the neighborhood social network, and most of them like this app.

The first is that it's free, and the second is that there are no ads, the page is clean and beautiful, and there are a variety of plans that users can adjust to their liking.

Also, it's really convenient!

Don't want to go out? There is a takeaway app on the neighborhood social network, and there are neighbors' comments; the toilet at home is broken? you can directly search for nearby businesses and repairmen on the neighborhood social network, which one has a good attitude and which one has good quality, there are real reviews; someone in the family is sick? you can ask for help in the medical section, search for relevant information, all of which are investigated and reviewed by a professional team and randomly selected users, and updated regularly, to ensure that the information is true and effective...... In a survey at the beginning of this year, this app has become the first choice of community users!

Among them, the education sector is the one that plays a decisive role in this APP!

Neighborhood Social does not provide online education, but it will provide users with all kinds of real and timely relevant information, such as the analysis of the choice of employment majors in recent years, which off-campus training institution is selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, which private school has really good teachers, and the choice of studying abroad...... Most of the community users have the conditions to let their children go to training classes, or go to private schools, study abroad, and so on.

Because of these, the neighborhood social has been complained by some institutions, but it has never been moved.

The second is the unexpectedly popular overseas section.

Of course, Neighborhood Social doesn't have the ability to build a huge, authentic overseas section on its own, but don't forget, Park Ji-hoon also owns The Boston Globe!

The newspaper, which has fallen to less than 100,000 users, has developed various apps including laws, cars, personal finances, and so on after Park Ji-hoon has completely taken control of the right to speak, such as children's exclusive newspaper subscription apps, educational apps, and apps designed for temporary or long-term events (such as this year's presidential election). A number of vertical columns such as life and culture, while providing news and information, also provide a series of high value-added functions and services, and at the same time open various public accounts to deepen the interaction between editors and users, establish branches in many countries around the world, and restart the global strategy......

In March 2014, it invested $20 million in OZY, an online magazine of American news and culture, becoming its largest investor, and Lauren Jobs, the legacy of Steve Jobs, was its early investor, and in early 2015, it cooperated with POLITICO to launch the "POLITICO European Edition" In February 2015, it acquired San Francisco-based fashion digital media Livingly Media, a lifestyle website with 28 million monthly unique users, and March 2015, which had 50 million monthly unique visitors as early as 2014 PLUS, which has invested in Lehrer Siber Ventures, which has invested in about 200 digital media-oriented companies, including The Huffington Post and Buzzfeed, and Silicon Valley Angel Investment Fund, which has extensive project resources and investment experience, including Twitter and Square...... Park Ji-hoon's series of means, not only the Boston Globe has reached a valuation of $3 billion, far exceeding the New York Times's $1.86 billion, but also more than 1.5 million paid digital subscribers, and it is still growing rapidly!

Behind this, Park Ji-hoon injected more than $1 billion into it, real money!

And, of course, there's the Boston Globe's own strength and strong editorial team.

2014 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Reporting, 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Critical Reporting...... is enough to prove their own strength, but they lack a boss with strength and vision.

In addition, Park Ji-hoon recruited many senior employees to South Korea, which also provided opportunities for recruiting more talents in digital media.

Now the atmosphere inside is thriving, and everyone is gearing up to do a big job.

Park Ji-hoon's authority was further strengthened.

The success of the Boston Globe has also strengthened its own strength, and it has established partnerships with Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston College and many other universities, as well as Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Center, Boston Children's Hospital and many other hospitals.

It doesn't matter what you work with, it's important to have that relationship.

For many Asian countries, especially China and South Korea, these universities and hospitals are golden signs!

The content of the overseas education, medical and other sections of the neighborhood social network is from the Boston Globe, which naturally has a great appeal to families who do not have access to them.

Neighborhood socialization almost encompasses almost all of Korea's middle and high-end neighborhoods, and these are also the people who pay the most attention to current affairs and have the greatest influence.

Because this is an app that needs to provide real information, there are almost no water armies.

It is from this that Park Ji-hoon observes the attitudes of ordinary people.

There is a dedicated section on current affairs.

The fact that he was not actively involved did not mean that the Department of Public Information did not report such content. He gave the Ministry of Information great autonomy and even his own property was able to control it, and earlier there was news that took the initiative to expose the conflict in the process of demolition and relocation of Kowloon Village.

In the current affairs section, almost all of them are discussions about "Choi Soon-silmon".

Although it is not as radical as the outside world, there are some "proclamations" that make the president step down.

Who would have thought that what was originally just the establishment of a new college at Ewha Womans University turned into a storm that endangered the position of the president!
