Talent Award of Korea
The Talent Award of Korea (Korean: 대한민국인재상) is an award bestowed by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of Korea from 2014. It recognizes those individuals who have performed exemplary talents or outstanding meritorious service.
History of the award
The Korean government has given awards for exceptional talent since 2001. The name of the so-called Talent Award has varied during this time. Beginning in 2001, the Korean government gave the Award for Outstanding Talent who will lead 21st Century"..[1]
In 2008, president Lee Myung-bak established the Talent Medal of Korea, with a quota of 100 awards per year.[2] From 2008 to 2013, it was bestowed upon a total of 610 people.[3] While it was a civilian award, it could also have been awarded to military personnel, but there was only one military recipient.[4] Notable recipients included Son Yeon-jae and Kim Yuna.
Following severe critiques from non-scientists and politicians, who criticized this award is mostly bestowed to scientists and inventors, the Talent Medal of Korea was replaced by the Talent Award of Korea beginning in 2014. [5]
Recipients
This award was limited for Talented Korean Citizens with quota of 100 per annum and a civilian award.
