Because of social distancing requirements due to COVID-19, the Book Concert was live-streamed on YouTube without a live audience. It was a meaningful time with about 90 people watching the live broadcast and actively participating in the live chatroom, meanwhile, questions and comments from those that had applied and been selected beforehand were presented to the author.

The book, The Death of an Unknown Child, which covers the frequent death of trainees in industrial sites through interviews with the family members and related personals, is one of the books that won the Diversity Council’s ‘Diversity Book Recommendation Contest’ between March and April of 2021. Introducing his identity as a 'writing activist', the author Eun Yu emphasized the importance to shed light upon these unvisited stories in a way that could be relating to the daily lives of the audience, rather than consuming it merely as a topic. In addition, he saw that it is necessary to view calamities as a problem of inequality while revealing the prejudice toward students in technical high schools in our society.

The book concert was moderated by Professor Dong-Joon Jo (Dept. of Political Science and International Relations) for two hours alternating the author's speech and Q&A. Eunyu first introduced the background of how she got to write the book, and explained that during the two years of interviewing several people, she came to understand why the death of apprenticeships of blue collar workers was a social homicide and why the issue of youth labor was a condensed contradictory social problem in our society. In the second half of the event, she mainly talked about how to empathize with other people's pain. She suggested perceiving a person in multifaceted dimensions, observing plan things unfamiliarly, understanding the violence behind simple words, and reading and writing various books. In particular, the emphasis on how respect for dignity is not innate but should be actively learned, and the necessity to associate with diverse people groups to become highly empathic people are important points that relate to the role of the Diversity Council.
