Probability of technology risk is expected to increase as the post catch-up innovation,characterized by high uncertainty and high risk, would dominate in the coming era of post catchup. Social controversy on online game as a post catch-up innovation is still ongoing, though the shutdown lawwas enacted by the government. Socio-technical vulnerability causing technology risk paradoxically arose fromthe world top-level ICT infrastructures and has been reinforced by developmentalism. While both the pros andcons of the regulation fail to recognize dilemma objectively, social cost is brought about and accumulated. Withrecognizing dilemma between technology innovation and risks, we can tackle technology risks and ensureresponsible innovation in post catch-up era.
