Busan keeps losing its young, yet local media keeps selling “branding” as a cure.

The revival of Korea’s supplement market wasn’t driven by affordability.
It was driven by shrinkage: tiny doses, short courses, and retail-friendly packaging that costs more per unit than full-size products.

Polestar is highlighting Busan, but the plant’s role is still early-stage. Preparations and pilot units exist, yet no sustained production data. Busan is more of a strategic hedge than an active export base—for now. breezeinflow.com/busan-news/p...

Polestar Turns to Busan as Chinese Manufacturing Faces Western Scrutiny | Busan news | Breeze in Busan
Polestar’s financial constraints, narrowing U.S. product lineup, and exposure to evolving policy regulations make Busan a necessary adjustment rather than an expansionary move.

The Age of Outsourced Thinking | Philosophy | Breeze in Busan
AI is not merely accelerating learning; it is reshaping the ecology of cognition. And without a philosophical anchor, education risks surrendering the very capacities that make us human.

#Busan doesn’t need another round of “remote work will save us” headlines. The city needs industries, R&D, and real jobs—not recycled pandemic narratives. Our latest analysis breaks down why lifestyle stories can’t fix structural decline. breezeinflow.com/busan-news/w...
Workation Was Never an Industry—So Why Do Some Still Pretend It Is? | Busan news | Breeze in Busan
In a city losing both its young people and its industrial core, the revival of the remote-work storyline reads less like analysis and more like wishful thinking.

Busan and Gyeongnam Seek Unity Amid Growing Divides | Busan news | Breeze in Busan
Calls for a Busan–Gyeongnam merger echo the rhetoric of regional revitalization but overlook its cause — the hollowing of local autonomy. Without stronger local leadership and fiscal independence, integration may simply redraw the map without changing the reality.
