Objectives: The demand for Korean language learning has increased with global interest in Korean culture. However, non-native speakers struggle with pronunciation due to Korean's unique phonological features. This study aims to develop an AI-based pronunciation evaluation application to provide structured and personalized feedback. Methods: The system uses a client–server architecture, integrating an Android app, a FastAPI server, and an SQLite database. The AI model evaluates pronunciation based on accuracy, fluency, and completeness, and checks keyword usage in learners' spoken responses. Results: A pilot study with non-native Korean learners showed high user satisfaction with the system’s learning content and feedback quality. Conclusions: The AI-based application effectively supports Korean pronunciation learning by offering real-time, structured feedback. Pilot results suggest strong potential for broader application in Korean language education.

Objectives: This study investigates how the authority over music creation has historically been shaped not by a linear evolution of musical styles or composers, but through power struggles among competing societal forces. It aims to redefine music creation as a space of hegemonic negotiation rather than as a purely artistic or individual endeavor. Methods: A qualitative literature review and historical analysis were conducted to trace the sociopolitical forces that have influenced the dominant agents in music creation. The study identifies five key historical phases—Church vs. Court, Monarchy vs. Aristocracy, State vs. Bourgeoisie, Capital vs. Artist, and Human vs. AI—to examine the shifting dynamics of creative power. Results: The analysis reveals that music creation has consistently reflected broader sociopolitical tensions, with authority over musical production shifting according to the dominant power structure of each era. From religious institutions and monarchies to modern capitalism and artificial intelligence, each force has contributed to redefining the locus of creative control. Conclusions: The study concludes that the future of music creation will likely not be determined by technological sophistication alone. Instead, cultural distinction, aesthetic identity, and symbolic influence are emerging as the new criteria for creative hegemony, suggesting that culture itself may become the dominant force in the next phase of musical power.

Objectives: As the number of migrant construction workers (MCWs) increases, various socioeconomic problems are arising. This study aims to analyze key issues and trends related to MCWs using social big data and to derive policy and educational implications for improving their working environment and social integration. Methods: Data from Naver and Daum, collected between 2021 and 2024, were analyzed using text mining, and network analysis. Results: The results identified key terms such as employment, wages, safety, and education, with network analysis revealing strong interconnections among these terms, underscoring their significance in shaping major discourses. Conclusions: This study proposes policy development and institutional support strategies to improve the working environment of foreign laborers and offers practical insights for ensuring sustainability in the construction industry and fostering social integration.
