Professor Sang-Min Leo Whang PsychologyYonsei
University
swhang_at_yonsei.ac.kr
As a psychologist, Dr. Whang's main interest was
on the change of human thinking behaviors by
that of social-cultural circumstances. Since the
internet has stirred up his imagination, he has
been making a study on the 'cyber psychology' and
'youth culture' with an emphasis on online
gamers and its related culture. His book, "There
is another 'me' in the cyber space", written in
2000 is estimated as a new and striking approach
on account of analyzing the psychological laws
of cyberspace in Korean society. His another
book, 'New Generation of Korean in Cyberspace
(2003)' was an epitomic work on changes in Korea
in relation to youth culture and their virtual
and consuming behaviors. He currently contributes
to the research on the Asian youth culture
through role playing on-line game (MMORPG), such
as 'Lineage'. Dr. Whang holds a B.A. from Seoul
