Stay Weird! Stay Different!

학창시절엔 별다른 문제가 없었지만, 재수학원을 다니면서 주변시선에 대한 의심이 굉장히 심했던 적이 있었다. 만약 내 뒤에 앉은 애들이 쑥덕쑥덕거리면서 웃고 있으면 괜히 내 얘기를 하는 것 같고, 뭔가 되게 불편한 감정을 가지고 있었다. 아마 그 당시 스스로 좀 주눅든 부분도 있고, 반 아이들과 그다지 좋은 관계들을 갖고 있지 않았기 때문에 더 그랬던것일수도 있을것 같다. 그리고 혼자 새로운 곳을 가거나, 나 혼자 밥을 먹거나 그런 상황에서 주변의 시선을 굉장히 신경쓰고 누가 어떤 얘기하는 소리만 들어도 내 얘기를 하는 것 같은 기분이 들었었다.

 

하지만 오랜 연애에 마침표를 찍고 혼자가 된 후 하나 둘씩 혼자 할 수 있는 것들을 찾기 시작했다. 혼자 콘서트가기, 혼자 여행가기, 혼자 밥먹기, 혼자 영화보기등 하나씩 하나씩 도전하고 나중에든 생각은 "정말 주변에선 나란 존재에 대해서 그다지 신경을 쓰지 않는구나"였다. 나란 사람 자체가 주변을 많이 보는 사람이다. 만약 길거리를 걸을경우 난 거의 모든 행인들을 본다. 그래서 누군가와 함께 걸을때 웃긴 옷, 이상한 옷을 입은 사람을 보고 방금 그 사람 웃겼지?라고 물으면 그 당사자들은 그런 사람 존재 자체를 의식하지 못한 경우가 대다수였다. 그렇게 사람들을 많이 보는 성격의 사람이다 보니까 다른 사람들 역시 나를 보고 있고, 의식할 것이라고 생각하니까 그 사람들을 신경쓰게 되고, 그것이 의심까지 이어지는 것 같다. 하지만 지금도 물론 어느 정도는 타인의 시선을 신경쓰지만, 과거에 비하면 굉장히 자유로워졌다.

 

내가 타인을 인식하고, 주변을 많이 의식할 수록 의심은 더욱 커지는 것이라고 생각한다. 그래서 다른사람에게 의존적인 성향을 띄는 사람이 사람을 의심하는 경우가 많다. 독립적인 성향을 띄는 사람일 수록 의심의 가능성이 적다고 얘기하는 것을 들은 적이 있다.

이 얘기를 듣고 굉장히 공감이 갔었다. 다른 사람에게 의존적이니까 그 사람의 한마디 한마디가 신경쓰이고 일거수 일투족인 모두 신경쓰이다 보니까 그것이 의심으로 발전하게 되는 것이다. 하지만 독립적인 사람의 경우 그냥 다른 사람을 그다지 신경을 안쓰니까 의심으로부터 자유로운 것 같다.

요즘들어 나 스스로 독립적인 사람이 되고자하고, 그러려고 노력하는 것이 느껴졌었다. 아마도 그러한 노력이 날 의심으로부터 자유롭게 만들었는지도 모르겠다.

 

그리고 의심이란 단어를 떠올려보면, 연애와 굉장히 연관깊게 생각할 수 있는 것 같다. 남성보단 여성들이 비교적 의심을 많이 하는 경우들이 많다. 내 친구들의 경우도 보면, 친구들을 만나서 밥을 먹거나 술을 한잔하는 자리에 있어도 사진을 찍어서 인증을 해야하는 경우들이 있다. 그런것 보면 좀 한심해보이기도하고, 그런걸 요구하는 것 자체가 이해되지 않는다. 사랑한다면 믿어야 한다고 생각한다. 하지만 우리 나라에서의 문제인지는 잘 모르겠는데 일반적으로 우리는 사랑하기 때문에 집착하고 의심하는 것이라고 말한다. 난 사랑이란 것의 시작은 신뢰라고 생각한다. 그래서 난 여자친구가 친구들을 만난다고 하면, 잘 놀고 집에갈때 꼭 연락하라고 말하고, 그냥 기다리는 스타일이다. 그게 남자든 여자든 굳이 신경쓰지 않았다. 왜냐하면 나도 여자인 친구들이 있고, 가끔 만나서 밥먹고 하니까 이게 공평한 것이고 기본적으로 믿기 때문에 그냥 보내는 것이다.

내가 여자인 친구들과 바람이 났을 거였으면 애진작에 바람을 폈을 것이고, 여자 친구도 역시 마찬가지일 것이다.

나쁜 짓은 언제든지 아무도 모르게 할 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 난 내가 내 눈으로 무언가 잘못된 부분을 확인하기 전까지는 전적으로 상대방을 믿는 편이다. 하지만 그 전의 연애에서 난 그런 대우를 받지 못했다. 술자리에서도 끊임없이 문자를 해야하고, 중간에 전화도 해야하고, 이 부분에 대해서 엄청 다툰 기억이 난다.

 

타인을 의심하는 것은 내가 주변의 눈에서 자유로워지면 된다. 남에게 피해주지 않는 선에서 최대한 자유롭게 사는 것 그게 가장 건강한 삶이라고 생각한다. 그리고 연애, 사랑 안에서의 의심은 믿음과 이해로 해결할 수 있을 것 같다. 물론 그 믿음이 깨졌을때의 배신감은 말할수도 없겠지만, 어쩌겠는가 내가 사랑했던 사람인데.

모든 사람이 의심에서 벋어나서 좀 더 건강한 삶을 산다면, 우리의 사회도 좀 더 건강해질 수 있지 않을까 조심히 생각해본다.

난 대한민국의 가장 큰 문제점은 바로 희생이라고 생각한다. 굉장히 개인적인 견해지만, 박정희 시대에 국민들이 광부, 간호사로 일을하러 나가고, 베트남 파병을 가면서 국가에 희생을 하며 경제적인 도움을 주었고, 새마을 운동도 다 같이 모두 희생해서 나라를 살리자라는 운동이였다. 그러니까 박정희가 잘한것이 아니라 국민들이 모두 희생해서 결국 국민들이 잘해서 이 나라는 여기까지 성장한 것이다.

 

그런데 그 이후로도 나라도 기업도 국민, 직원들에게 희생을 강요한다.

특히나 기업들에서 정해진 스케쥴만큼 일하는 회사가 얼마나 있을까? 보통 9시부터 6시까지가 기본적인 근무시간이지만 신입사원은 당연히 적어도 한시간은 일직 출근해야 하며, 신입이 아니더라도 30분은 일찍 출근은 해야한다. 하지만 추가 수당은 지급하지않고 야근을 강요하는 곳도 많이 존재한다.

이것은 그 이후로 아랫사람에게 희생만을 강요하는 이상한 문화를 만들었다고 생각이든다.

 

지금 민주주의 사회에서 프랑스 혁명과 같은 시민 혁명이 일어나 스스로의 권리를 되찾아야 하는 것인지, 아니면 모든 국민들이 단체로 파업을 하던지 무슨 방법이 필요하다고 생각한다.

우리나라는 현대화가 되면서 외국과 달리 그런 시민 운동이 없었던 것 같다... 내가 한국사를 제대로 배우지 못한걸지도 모르겠지만...

아무튼 우리 나라에선 그냥 밥벌어 먹고 살기위해서 그런 부조리함을 참고 일을 하게된다. 그리고 지금처럼 취업이 힘든 시기에는 더욱더 참을 수밖에 없는 것이다. 그냥 돈을 벌 수 있다는것 자체가 소중하니까...

하지만 그런 마인드 자체가 빈인빈 부익부를 키우고, 이 사회를 더 병들게 만든다는 생각이 든다.

 

유럽국가들이 참 신기하다고 느꼈던 것중에 하나는 제법 오래된 이야기지만 예전 프랑스에서 정년퇴임 나이를 올리는 정책을 낸적이 있었는데, 그 당시 고등학생부터 굉장히 많은 사람들이 시위를 했던 것을 보고 고등학생부터 자신들의 권리를 찾기위해서 저런 법을 반대하고 있다는 생각이 들었다. 또한 우리나라처럼 연금제도가 있기 때문에 퇴직을 하면 연금을 받을 수 있지만, 정년을 늘림으로써 노년층 또한 쓸데없이 2년이나 더 일을 해야하는 문제가 생겼기 때문에 고등학생부터 장년층까지 굉장히 다양한 나이대의 사람들이 시위를 하는 것은 당시의 나에게 굉장히 문화적인 충격이였다.

 

우리나라의 시위는 좀 격한 부분들이 있다. 우리나라의 시위문화도 우선 바꿔야 할 것이다 하지만 정부의 태도 또한 바뀌어야 할 것같다. 가만 보면 나라는 국민들이 원하는 것이 아니라 본인들이 원하는 것들만 만들고 있다는 생각이 든다. 첫째로 누가 무상급식을 원했는가? 그냥 경제상황에 따라 국가에서 빈곤층에 지원을 해주는 것이 맞지 왜 이건희 손자까지 무상급식을 먹어야 하는지 이해가 되지 않는다. 예산이 없다고 지랄을 하면서 절대 포기하지 않는다. 이건 선생들을 잘 교육시키고 아이들을 잘 교육시키면 급식비를 받아서 밥먹는 것이 절대 부끄러운 것이 아니게 된다. 그런 기본적인 교육을 안하고 왜 그런식으로 정책을 펴는지 정말 이해가지 않는다.

둘째로 어린이집이 굉장히 많이 이슈가 되고 문제가 많음이 밝혀졌다. 하지만 국가에서 내논 대책이란게 고작 CCTV수 늘리기이다. 통계에 의하면 국가가 운영하는 어린이집의 숫자는 선진국에 비하면 터무니 없이 적은 숫자이다. 그리고 어린이집 선생하는거 굉장히 쉽다. 짧은 교육듣고 간단한 테스트면 모두가 어린이집에서 선생노릇을 할 수 있는 것이다. 그리고 그 선생들의 대우가 정말 안좋다. 안좋은 대우를 받는데 일은 그만큼 힘들다 그 스트레스는 최약층인 아이에게 갈수밖에 없다. 그렇다면 국가에서 해야할 것은 국가가 운영하는 어린이 집을 늘리고, 선생들의 자격을 좀더 까다롭게 심사하는 것 그리고 선생들의 처우개선을 통해 정당한 대우를 받도록 해줘야한다.

하지만 그저 눈가리고 아웅식의 정책을 제외하곤 아무것도 제시되지 않는다.

그리고 증세없는 복지를 공약으로 내새운 박근혜 정부는 실제 국민들이 느낄수 있는 복지를 실천하지 않으면서 간접세를 늘림으로써 본인들이 하고 싶은 복지만을 하려고 하고 있다. 이건 누굴위한 복지인 것 인지 모르겠다.

그냥 책만읽고 공부하면서 "아, 이거 정책으로 만들면 좋겠다"라고 생각하고 정책을 만든다고 밖에 생각이 안든다. 국민들의 소리는 전혀 듣지 않는다. 우리가 만든거니까 니들은 그냥 따르고 희생해라는 국가의 횡포인 것이다.

하지만 난 이게 박근혜 정부만의 문제가 아닌 우리나라 정부의 전체적인 문제라고 본다. 야당이고 여당이고 다들 그저 지들 표에 눈이 멀어 선거철에만 간이고 쓸개고 다 내줄것처럼 행동하고 당선이 되면 그렇게 자기몸을 사릴수가 없다.

 

정말 옳은 정책이고, 해야하는 정책이라면 국민이 반대해도 설득해서 결과로 옳다는 것을 보여주는 것이 맞다고 생각한다. 하지만 옳은 정책은 국민이 반대한다면 명목으로 하지 않고, 지들이 하고 싶은 정책인데 국민이 관심이 없다면 그냥 하는 것이다. 결국 모든 희생은 국민들이 지는 것이다.

대한민국은 선조들의 엄청난 희생으로 독립이 되었고 또 그 다음 선조들의 희생으로 여기까지 성장할 수 있었다. 그런데 그 선조들의 희생을 이용하여 기업이며, 국가며 끊임없이 국민들의 피를 빨아먹고 있다.

 

희생이란 것은 굉장히 고귀한 단어라고 생각한다. 군인들은 본인을 희생하여 국민들을 지키고, 소방관들이 본인을 희생하며 사람들을 구하고, 경찰관들이 본인을 희생하며 사람을 지키고, 의사는 본인을 희생하여 사람을 살린다. 9.11 이후로 미국에서 소방관에대한 그 희생에 대한 감사를 늘 생각한다는 생각이 든다. 그리고 그 테러에 맞서 싸우는 군인들의 희생에 대해 항상 고마움을 표한다. 하지만 우리나라는 베트남 전쟁에서 희생한 영웅들에게 어떤 대접을 하고 있으며, 지금도 희생하고 있는 군인들에게 어떤 대접을 하는가? 소방관에게는? 경찰관에게는? 나라가 바뀌기 위해선 국민이 바뀌어야 한다.

희생은 당연한 것이 아니다. 누구도 강요할 수 없는 가치이다. 제대로된 희생의 가치를 깨닫고, 정말 희생하는 사람들을 존중하고 감사하며, 부조리한 희생에 대해서 저항하는 그러한 사회가 되었으면 한다.

5. Now, let’s talk about your house. Please describe it in detail.

- I live in an apartment at Eunpyung-gu with my family, and it's on 10th floor.

Actually it was first time I live in an apartment so it was not that comfortable for me at first but now I'm used to it.

I've lived in this apartment for about 4~5 years right after the construction was done, so at that time there were nothing like convinient stores or something but now even though many buildings are under construction, there are tons of stores I can use.

and there is Bukhan Mt near by my apartment and I always can see the scenery of beautiful Mt, at my balcony.

and the best thing is my apartment is so close with a subway station and a bus stop.

someday I should leave this house, but it'd be always my sweet home

 

6. How does your room look like? What kind of furniture is there in your room? Do you like your room?

- My room is not that big, so I can't put a closet in my room so I just have a dress hanger.

and I just have a bed and desk with bookcasse it's an only place to put books on so there are all of books in my home on my shelf. it's the worst thing ever... it looks so messy but there's nothing I can do.

Actually I think my room is my own territory so sometimes my mom or sister get in my room without my permission. everytime they do, I feel I get invaded but they don't care about it. so I should stand it til I have my own house.

as I said earlier it's my own place to feel relaxe and comfortable so How can I not love my room?!  

 

7. How have houses changed in your country since the past? Tell me with a lot of details.

Korean traditional houses are only a story of building so we just accept the way mordern

 

8. Please tell me about the countryside in your country. How does it look like? How do people who live there look like? Tell me in detail.

I think it's not that different with your country's houses. as you know in cities there are only so tall buildings like a skyscraper but in countryside you can see some houses which are one or two stories of with farmland.

How they live is almost same as city people. jsut they usually follow the plough or rasie cattles, pigs or chickens. but thesedays food-and-mouth-disease and AI which means Avian Influenza are the biggest problem to farmers.

and people who is in the agriculture industry is affected by FTA with China

so it's not easy to live in countryside thesedays

 

 

9. What do people in the countryside usually do in each season?

It's depends on what people does, one who is in the agriculture industry just do farming from spring to fall and in winter they just prepare next year, next spring. 

and the other who is in the stock growing just take care of their cattles, pigs or chickens in every each season!

there's nothing special in Korean countryside life, just same as yours.

자기 소개 및 대학, 날씨

1. Now, let’s begin the interview. Please tell me about yourself.

My name is Bum Soo KIM. I’m 27 years old.

I was born and still living in Seoul. And I have grown up in warm-hearted family. There are 4 members in my family.

I’m a little introverted. So when I was a high school student, I start learning magic with my friend, because I want to overcome introverted character. So finally I overcame my character through I show magic to strangers. But now, I don’t practice it, so I don’t do it well.

My hobbies are riding cycle and playing the guitar. Sometimes I ride my cycle at Ilsan Lake Park, there are comfortable riding track and beautiful landscape.

And I have played the guitar for 1 year. So I think my skill is intermediate, but It is hard for me to play finger style. So I practice it daily to be like Jason mraz.

And I major in chemistry at Samyook Uni. now, I studied semiconductor at NITU. Both chemistry and semiconductor are very interesting study. Nowadays, semiconductor is very important industry in Korea. So I want to work for Semiconductor Company Such as Samsung, Hynix, ASE Korea and other companies. But I’m working at Korea Resources Corporation by casual employee, so I

That would be all and thank you.

 

2. You indicated in the survey that you go to school. Please describe your school in detail.

My University is located in 공릉동.

There are about 20 buildings on campus, which is a harmony of artificial and natural.

At the corner of the campus, there is a lake, which is named 제명 lake. There are so many benches and beautiful trees, so our students and neighbor citizens usually take a rest and take a walking around the campus.

My University is based on SDA that stands for Seventh-day Adventist church, so students don’t have to smoking and drinking on the campus.

Thus our campus is very clean and quiet, so I like my campus.

 

3. Tell me about a typical day on your campus. When do your classes start and finish? With whom do you eat lunch? Tell me about your typical campus life.

My typical day is not special. I usually go to the campus about 10 A.M, because attended classes’ start time is in the morning.

And my classes’ times are very different everyday. But lunch break is fixed at noon, so I have lunch with my friends at school cafeteria, because its food is so cheap and taste is not bad.

I usually leave in library until 9 P.M because I have to some assignments and other studies.

And sometimes when I don’t have many assignments to do, I usually try to get some exercise after classes.

 

★4. Let’s talk about your first visit to the campus. What was your first impression when you visited your campus? How did you go there? Who did you go with? What did you do on the campus at that time? Tell me all of the details.

The impression I got on my first visit to campus was very friendly. Many upperclassmen who were orientation counselors came out to receive the freshmen and help us carry our luggage into the dorm rooms. They also kept asking whether we needed anything and tried to comfort my father who drove me to the dorm. And after I was done for unpacking, I took a conversation with my now roommate.

 

5. Tell me about the seasons in your country. What season do you like best? Why do you like it? What things do you usually do in that season?

In Korea, there are four distinct seasons although the summer and winter are growing longer due to global warming. Among the four seasons, my favorite is winter, because I love winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, and skating. Among the winter sports, my favorite is snowboarding. Nowadays, winter in Korea is colder than past. But when I’m on snowboarding, I’m so excited and I don’t feel cold. Even now, at the thought of snowboarding, my heart starts pounding. And I like scenery of a snow covered mountain, because it looks like pure and clean. So I love going to ski resort. And I also love winter.

 

6. What kind of things do Korean people do during summer and winter seasons? Tell me in detail.

During the summer, people usually go on vacations. Of course, the beaches are generally the hot places. 경포대, 해운대, 대천 are most famous beaches. These places are so energetic and lively, but so crowded. So some people who like rafting or fishing go to valleys and rivers. These places are less crowded than beaches, but during the vacation times, these places also are crowded.

And during the winter, people usually go skiing and snowboarding. So ski resorts are very crowded, so some people go spa. Generally older person go to spa because it is very relaxed and warm.

And young person enjoy winter sports. And they importantly think about Christmas. So many students feel too much press of dating expense. So I think that this Christmas culture must change like American style that focuses on family.

In short, I think all of world people are similar to activity in the each season.

 

7. Do you have some memorable things about the weather? If so, how was the weather at that time? What happened? Why was it memorable to you?

The most memorable moment regarding weather happened a couple of years ago. When I was soldier in army, that winter, it snowed the heaviest for more than a century. The military bases shall always remain in battle capable condition, because Korea is technically still at war. At that time, I had to shovel and sweep away snow during the snowing. The snow was viewed as nothing more than trash falling from the sky. However much I shoveled out, the snow was endlessly stacked up on the yard. The scene is still lingering in my eyes to this today.

And at that time, Korean winter liked to Siberian, because Siberian very cold air was coming to Korea. So 연천’s lowest degree is around minus 30 degree Celsius. I don’t forget that air until now.

 

8. What is the weather like in your city today?

It is summer in Korea.

Summer in Korean is usually rainy season, so it is very hot and humid. And the average temperature is around 30 degree Celsius.

But today is a little cool, because yesterday, it was heavy rain.

I generally don’t like sweating and clammy air, so I don’t like summer.

But I love water sports, such as wake board, windsurfing and others. Generally I go to 가평 for wake board about twice in summer. And sometime I go to beach and waterpark. These places are very joyful and have good sceneries. So although it is very hot and humid, sometimes I like summer.

 

9. Please describe where you live.

I live on 10^th floor of an apartment at Eunpyung with my family.

There are so many other apartments and comfortable stores. And there is a Bukhan Mt, whose scenery that I can see at my balcony is very beautiful.

And my neighbors are very kind and friendly. So I like my town.

My house consists of 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and 2 bathrooms.

And my room is decorated with some furniture such as a closet, bookshelf, desk, and comfortable bed.

My favorite is my room. Because it is feel comfortable and I can see Bukhan Mt’s beautiful scenery.

So I like my place.

 

Housing

1. What kind of problem does your country have about the real estate market? Please give me a detailed description of the problem.

The biggest problem in Korea’s real estimate market is the high price of housing.

Especially, the house price, in Seoul, is too expensive, so general worker can’t buy own house with a normal salary. So almost of all workers borrow money from bank to buy house, but it raises bubble of housing price. Moreover, if the bubble is broken, they, who have house, become loss their lots of money. It is also additional problem. So therefore, the government always keeps its eyes on the housing market.

 

2. Is there a government agency which can handle the problems in the real estate market? If so, what activities does the agency usually do? Please tell me about the agency with many details.

Actually, I don’t know about this topic well.

I know that the Bank of Korea handles the problem in real estimate market, because the Bank of Korea generally issue money, by doing this, they can mange economical problems. And then I think that they can also handle housing problem. And I know issuing currency is related to real estate market. So in conclusion, even though I don’t exactly know how they handle it, I think that the Bank of Korea can handle the problem in real estate market, thereby controlling the currency.

 

3. How have the house or housing in your country changed over the last 10 years? Tell me all about the changes in the houses or housing you know in as much detail as you can.

Actually, I don’t know exactly how have the house changed for 10 years. So I explain changing of house seen from my experience. Since I born, I had lived in a detached house until I was 21 years old. And since then, I have lived in an apartment. During living detached house, around my house, there are other detached houses I think that at that time High apartment building is only located in center of Seoul. But nowadays almost all of the detached houses have changed apartment builds. During childhood, I don’t like apartment because it is desolate for me. At that time, the apartment complex is very not eco-friendly, there were only apartment buildings and cement floors. But nowadays, around my apartment, there are so many trees and flowers throughout the complex. And during childhood, we usually use oil as fuel, but nowadays all of apartments use gas as fuel, I think that it is more eco-friendly than oil. So now, I still like a detached house but I also like apartment building.

 

Technology

1. You indicated in the survey that you are student. What technologies do you frequently use these days? How do you use them?

The technology I most often use as a student is the Smartphone.

I think Smartphone is very useful and helpful. It makes my life convenient. No matter where I am, I can search for some documents related to my major, and surf the internet, listen to music and play games. At school, when I go to cafeteria for lunch, I can check today menu. And when I go to library, I can check available seats. And generally when I enter the library I use mobile student ID through Smartphone. Now, Smartphone account for a lot of part of my life. So now, I cannot imagine my life without the Smartphone.

 

2. There have been a lot of changes in the technology that we use at school. What changes have been made from the past to the present? Please give me a detailed description of them.

The technological improvements at my school have been astonishing. First, Many doors have been replaced with automatic ones. And when professors give a lecture, before almost professors used black board, but nowadays they generally use beam projector. And library system is very convenient. Before, if students wanted to find some books, they should find it in person. But now, they can find it through the internet.

And Doors at dormitories are operated by card key that also serve as student IDs and in-campus credit cards. These changes make us convenient. So I love advanced technology.

 

3. I’d like to give you a situation and ask you to act it out. You moved to a new apartment and want to get internet service. Call the internet service provider and ask three or four questions to find out the information you need.

Hello. Is there pagoda internet service center? I’m calling to install the internet service at my house. So I have some questions.

First, How much does your internet service cost? Should I additionally pay for installation fee?

And I can’t stay at home from the day after tomorrow for a week. So I want to make an appointment tomorrow to set up the internet service. Is it available? If not, When would you come?

Could you give me some free gift? I heard that your company gives customer free gift such as bike or some others. And Can I get some discounts?

 

4. I’m sorry. There’s a problem that you need to resolve. You arranged for the internet to be installed this week, but realize that you will not be home for the appointment. Call the internet service provider and schedule another time.

Hello, this is Bumsoo. I’m calling to reschedule my appointment.

As you know, my appointment is today 4pm. But I can’t stay at home at that time, because I have to go to urgent meeting at my company. So I want to reschedule. If you can, I want to make an appointment tomorrow at the same time. But If not, when would you come? Unfortunately, I don’t have time next week, so I want to make an appointment in this week. I’m sorry that I suddenly change my appointment. Anyway, please call me back as soon as possible.

 

5. I’d like to know about some technology issue. Are there any technology issues that have been discussed among your classmates and friends? What issues are they? Please tell me all about them in as much detail as possible.

I’m a student of science, Chemistry to be exact. In my field, the hot issue is Graphene. At two years ago, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov’s “bi-layer graphene” paper wins a Novel’s Prize in Physics field. They find method that Multilayer graphene divided into one or two layer graphene. After that, Graphen raises as hot issue in chemistry as well as other fields.

Graphene consists of only carbon, and it is very thin carbon layer.

And its characteristic is high conductivity and more strong than iron and other useful things.

Graphene can applied to so various industries such as electronics and chemical engineering and other fields.

So I think that graphene has become a major part of our industry.

 

Project

1. You indicated in the survey that you are a student. What kind of project are you conducting? Please tell me about the project you are working on.

I’m conducting a project on “Making WIFI-BT dual band RF FEM”

This Project is related to one of majors, Semiconductor. I do double major in Chemistry and Semiconductor. It is a group project and there are 5 members in my team.

This project is about WIFI and BT chip. Now, we generally use WIFI and BT chip separately, but nowadays, people want smaller and higher performance chip. So we plan to make one chip combined WIFI and BT. After we get a simulation data for FEM, we will make a module in person. I hope that result comes out right, because this project is important to me.

 

2. What project did you first complete? Was it successful? Did you have trouble completing it? Tell me about your first project in detail.

My first project was Self-introduction Video. This project was not related to my major, because this class was cultural subject that was about mass media and image-culture. It was an individual project so I had to do it by myself. I didn’t make a video before then, so it is hard for me to squeeze an idea make a video. Finally, I made a self-introduction video by Vegas program using ADIDAS CF by Messi, and various music videos that I liked. Other students respond to my video was not bad. It was very helpful experience for me.

 

3. Let’s talk about the most memorable project you have completed. What kind of project was it? With whom did you conduct that project? Why was it so memorable for you? Tell me all about it in detail.

The most memorable project I have completed is “How to minimize to Wire Sweep”

It was a group project and there were 4 members in my team.

This project was about Wire Sweep in semiconductor packaging. During injecting the molding compound into cavity, how can we reduce wire sweep. There were a lot of methods that can reduce wire sweep, finally we focused on molding compound. Because molding compound’s viscosity was important parameter to wire sweep, so we chose it. But it was very hard for us to select one process, because all of methods were attractive. And we had to make a presentation in English, It was the most difficult thin. Finally all members did their best and were satisfied with our achievement.

But because stage is close to seats, I could more easily feel actor and actress’s emotion in the concert hall. So I like that the concert hall.

I like listening to all kinds of music, but I like rock music best. Rock music has a wide variety of genres, from easy listening to modern rock to heavy metal. My favorite is British rock music. Typical British rock musician is Radiohead, Coldplay, U2 and others. This genre’s music is dreamlike and a little gloomy but sometimes has fast tempo. I listen to different types of songs depending on my mood. When I feel down, I prefer to listen to loud and fast tempo music such as heavy metal and Hip Hop, because it puts me in a better mood. On the other hand, slow and soft music such as modern rock and Jazz, help me calm down when I feel sad.

I usually listen to music while I am on bus or subway. Normally, I listen to music on the computer while I am at home, but while I am out I download music files to my Smartphone and listen to them through my earphones. When I’m alone, I listen to music anytime anywhere, except working or studying time. Music is vital in my life.

Since growing up, I still enjoy listening to ballad music, but I like rock music and Hip Hop music the best.

In regard to rock music, after visiting some live band concerts, I cannot help but keep listening to rock music.

And their music is fantastic. But they are not so famous, as far as I know, they usually scrape a living. So sometimes I promote their album through internet. And I buy their all album unconditionally. And I have to go their concert. I think that they are very fantastic band.

 

5. How do you usually listen to music? Do you listen to music with an MP3 player or a CD player? What else and why?

I usually download music files to my Smartphone and listen to them through my earphone. Before I buy Smartphone, I used to listen to music by MP3 player, but nowadays Smartphone is very useful to listen to music, and it is so inconvenient for me to take two equipments. So I prefer Smartphone to MP3 player.

 

6. How did you first become interested in music? What kind of music was it? Who were the singer and composer?

My parents like to listen to music, so music always played in house during my childhood. My mom especially liked old pop. So that kind of music naturally became one of my favorite kinds of music at that time. I remember that I heard music at that time; they are Eagles’ Hotel California, Louis Armstrong’s What a wonderful world, Carry & Ron’s I.O.U and others.

Carry & Ron’s I.O.U is my favorite song at that time, it is still good to listen until now.

The military bases shall always remain in battle capable condition, because Korean technically still at war. So I had to shovel and sweep away the snow. But the snow was endlessly falling down from the sky. At that time, the snow looked like trash. The scene is still lingering in my eyes to this today.

Besides, at that winter, Korean weather liked to Siberian’s, because Siberian’s chilly air came to Korea. So at that time, the lowest degree in Korea was minus 30 degree Celsius. So I don’t forget this air. It is extremely cold.

 

공휴일 소개

The most typical Korean holidays are 추석 and 설날. These holidays are traditional. And Independence Day and Memorial Day are historical holiday. Except 추석, 설날, almost all of the people usually watch a commemorative event on TV in the morning. After then, they usually spend time with family. Some people go on a trip, and others go to family restaurant and other activities.

On the other hand, at 추석 and 설날, people go back to their hometowns to pay a visit to their ancestors’ graves as well as to visit their families.

Among Korean holidays, I like 추석 the best, because 추석 is in fall, so there are so many delicious fruits such as apples, Asian pears, persimmons, and I can meet kith and kin. So I like it.
