Hello~~ This is JIRO!
After taking about a month
 to reorganize and recharge,
JIRO is ready to make a comeback!!

Thank you for  waiting for us! ^^

The reason JIRO took a break to  reorganize was to ask ourselves:
The reason JIRO took a break to reorganize was to ask ourselves:

'Were the topics of JIRO’s content becoming too predictable?'

'Were we trying to cover too much without a clear goal or direction?'

'Were we simply creating content mechanically, following the same familiar format?'

We took this time to reorganize and find the answers to these questions.

In its early days, JIRO began as a..

“consulting partner that unlocks the hidden potential of local communities,” visiting local festivals and suggesting ways they could be improved.

we reflected on
'what direction would suit JIRO best',
'what our strengths are',

and 'how we could make the most of those strengths in our work.'

We’ll be back with “data-driven, 
multilingual local humanities content” !


What are the changes?
What are the changes?

① From local field trips → Understanding with data
Previously, we focused on visiting local areas, exploring festivals, and experiencing and learning from them firsthand.
Going forward, we’ll also use data to reinterpret local areas from JIRO’s perspective, adding a humanities-based approach to better understand and introduce each place in greater depth.

② From introducing places → Interpreting local stories
Rather than simply introducing tourist attractions and festivals,
we’ll explore the stories of each place through the lens of
the humanities, including history, literature, and culture.


JIRO Local Now
We’ll continue to work hard and do our very best as JIRO~~!
We look forward to your continued support!

Meet Jiro: Why We Care About Local Communities

 Hello, this is Jiro! Today, we’d like to properly introduce who we are and why we do what we do. Jiro is a project team formed by Korean university students who share a common concern: the quiet disappearance of local regions—and with them, someone’s hometown, memories, and everyday life. Rather than standing by, we asked ourselves a simple question: “What can we do, right now?” That question became the starting point of Jiro, and it continues to guide our work in regional revitalization. To keep things easy and engaging, let us introduce ourselves through a short Q&A.
