It is now controversial that volunteers for the upcoming Winter Olympics are poorly treated by Pyeongchang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympics and Paralympic Games. In June 2016, the committee posted the announcement recruiting 16 thousand volunteers for the Olympics and 6,400 volunteers for
Every term, newspaper accounts deal with sexual assault, occurring among university students. Lately, there was an attempted murder that a male student tried to rape a female student in the clubroom. In the university campus, many students spend much time naturally while joining departmental events
In a country where mandatory duty is known all too well, students are begging for the question of, “Does English testing at the university level fall under the same obligation?” After careful consideration, I came to the conclusion that the answer is “yes!” You might be wondering, who this man that
“Mamihlapinatapai” is the longest and hardest word to be translated in the world. It means a quiet, urgent, and subtle look between the two-people hoping the other person to do something essential to each other but which they do not want to do. At first, I thought it was interesting and suddenly I r
I do recall someone who gave me advice when I said that I was planning on working at the The Dongguk Post. “The more legwork you do, the better articles you will get.” At first, I did not catch its profound meaning since I applied for the Post in the effort of improving my English and writing skills
Looking back on the day I had an interview for The Dongguk Post, I have never thought that this would change my school life. At that time, I did not have any targeted objectives. I was just a freshman of Dongguk University who had great expectations of the school life ahead. In the new year, as I fi
Recently, I saw a humorous Facebook posting. “We finally became much worthy than one green tea frappuccino.” Starting from 2018, the minimum hourly wage will rise from 6,470 to 7,530 won. Since we have never seen this steep increase, many expectations and worries cross. Therefore, as a student livin
On August 25th, the final verdict to Lee Jae-yong, the Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics and the effective leader of Samsung Chaebul, will be delivered for the heir on bribery and embezzlement, diverting assets overseas, concealing the gains from a criminal act, and committing perjury. This trial
To be honest, I never thought I would be able to make my opportunity to write my own “debut essay.” I remember my first time writing an article, which was about the national examinations. That week was probably the toughest week I have ever had in my university life. I told every single person I kno
One day I saw a news about the 5.9 election. There was an interview talking about a freshman who was not able to participate in the election since her birthday was after May 10th. It was very strange for me because she must have the same level of consciousness as her friends had. From this point, I
It has been a month since the Moon Jae-in administration started. As the start of the new administration, there has been a lot of efforts trying to establish intense reformations. The efforts are focused on actualizing the election pledges based on the reality. It will be possible to predict the cha
My curiosity towards working as a reporter prompted me to join The Dongguk Post. Now it is a big part of my school life. What would I have done for so many hours if I were not a reporter of the Post? Perhaps I would have wasted my time playing with my smartphone with no definite idea. The most diffi
I remember writing in my debut essay that my heart bloomed whenever I felt I was telling others the truth, what was really going around the school. Yet, after I wrote that sentence, I spent quite some time wondering to myself if I had been ready or will ever be ready to say with confidence that trut
Looking back on my memories with the Post, I was able to earn the most valuable aspects of my life during these two years working. My future career is one of them. Journalist was not exactly what I wished for when I was looking for jobs because I had certain stereotypes towards journalists. The movi
I worked as a student reporter of The Dongguk Post for two years, more specifically, for 22 months. Honestly, not every single moment was satisfying. Of course, there had been some moments I wanted to give in through my term as a reporter; I had suffered from a bunch of tasks that I had to deal with
This is the final article I am writing as a reporter of The Dongguk Post. I could not even imagine this moment during my life in the Post because I did not feel confident enough to finish my term while I was having difficulties in dealing with tasks given to me. It was really hard for me to find the
