On July 5, 2023, a 23-year-old woman, Jeong Yu-jeong, murdered a woman of her age. She even disposed of parts of the deceased body in a carrier and dumped it. The victim, who was in her 20s, had met Jeong through an internet app, and the day she was killed was the first time she had met Jeong face-t

Are computers capable of creativity? A decade ago, people laughed at this question, believing it would never happen. Some considered it to be science fiction; for example, a movie, “The Matrix”(1999) depicts a machine-run world. Such an imaginative vision was never expected to become a reality. Nowa

The winter has already come. The weather has become chilly. When I was in my childhood, I did not put my scarf on even when the wind was blowing so hard. That was the reason why I caught a cold (or, maybe even lived with a cold) very often as an elementary school student. That immunity may be the re

“Do not build a life entirely dependent on Internet services.” This is a lesson I learned from the recent day of crisis. On Octobor 15 at 3:33 p.m., the SK C&C Data Center in Pangyo, Seongnam-si, South Korea was on fire. It was reported that the fire started in the battery room on the third basement

The urge to stay in bed all day long and not do anything developed into a lifestyle as I wrapped up my studies at HUFS and readied myself for life after college. I set self-improvement goals with enthusiasm, but I just could not bring myself to pursue them when the time came to act. Each day would b

The movie theater used to be the place I visited most often in a week. Going to the cinema alone and watching good movies with a huge screen and majestic sound system was my favorite way to relieve stress. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, everything has changed.

Last month, I went to the wedding of someone I had been close to at work when I was an intern. The wedding was heartily beautiful and the couple seemed so blissful as if this marriage meant the world to them. On the way home, so many thoughts whirled around in my mind.

One of the main concerns people of all ages have is getting along with others, i.e., making friends. I have struggled with relationships over a period of time, and now I guess I have found my solution, not to be stressed out over other humans. Of course, I have not lived very long, but I expect my s

In July, I went to the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival. On my way to the theater, heavy rain turned the whole city gloomy, including my spirit.

To do or not to do, that is the question. We sometimes reflect on our past, asking ourselves questions: ‘What if I did that thing?’ or ‘What if I did not do that thing?’ Asking is enough but after that, we usually evaluate ourselves: ‘It would be better if I had done that thing.’ or ‘It would be bet

In an old South Korean drama with a title that I cannot remember, characteristics of the rich and poor were different from each other: the rich are unkind and the poor are kind. Such characteristics, however, do not go together with current South Korean society. How our society has changed is shown

The haps and mishaps of life often happen at the same time. This is what I felt while reading Kim Ae-ran’s 2011 novel “My Palpitating Life.” Her humorous writing style stood out in the tragic situation where a 17-year-old boy suffers from rapid aging. Upon meeting this boy, I became fascinated by Ki

The MeToo movement was begun by Tarana Burke who engaged in a social movement since 2006 to advocate for victims of sexual assault or harassment. The phrase MeToo literally expresses empathy for the pain of victims. The nuance of ‘MeToo’ which means “I have also suffered from that,” may remind us of
