I cannot believe that now I am retiring from The Dongguk Post still at this moment when I am writing... Actually, one and a half years was long for me before, but it was really short when I recalled it in memories. Although my term of The Dongguk Post was rather shorter than others, it really seems
You can find the iconic green bottle everywhere in Korea. The green bottle means Soju to Korean people. Soju is the most loved and consumed alcoholic beverage and considered as the “National Drink.” With the green package, another characteristic of soju is the celebrities’ image printed on it. Howev
As the Internet has become routinized, commenting on posts on the Internet has become a new means of expression.

“I sometimes feel like I want to live independently.” “What is the biggest obstacle to living independently?” “It is a matter of economics.” “That is right. In fact, the economic problem is the biggest problem for college students to be independent.” Recently, when I saw a poster titled “Youth Housi
I was shocked to hear that the suspect of the consecutive murder incident in Hwaseong, which is the Korea’s three major long-term unsolved murders incident, has been pointed, on September 19th. It is Lee Chun-jae who is responsible for matching DNA found in three out of 10 cases. There are 15 victim
I cannot believe that now I am a “Post Reporter!” When I was a cub reporter, The Dongguk Post looked so difficult and hard. At first, almost everything was a burden to me. I am not good at expressing my opinion in public, but The Dongguk Post demanded me for that. From item meeting to proofreading,
Hong Kong is now in a struggle for freedom. The protests, which began in opposition to the extradition law, are inexorably growing. The protests, which seemed likely to continue peaceful demonstrations, led to armed repression and armed conflict. What do the people of Hong Kong want that much? The i
Recently, traditional media such as TV and radio have become less popular, maximizing the media platform market, which is easier to access with PCs and mobile devices. As such, new jobs are emerging for those who earn income by producing video contents through YouTube. The advantage of a media platf
Honestly, it is nonsense to describe The Dongguk Post as “shelter” to me. During four semesters in The Dongguk Post, I gave up being an ordinary university student. I had to be a “reporter” and work solely on maintaining this group. I complained, “I am a student, not a reporter!” Of course, this com
The final chapter of my book called, “The Dongguk Post” is about to come to an end. The Dongguk Post, where I have spent two and a half years of my university life, means a lot to me. For friends in my major, I always said, “Sorry, I will not be able to join you guys since I have The Post work.” May
Regional affirmative action has the right premise but does everything wrong in its attempt to solve the problem. The disparity between the regions of Korea is enormous and warrants both concern and an effective solution. However, this policy designed to address that issue is both misguided and gross
Until 2017, people watching videos online did not increase that much. However, the increase became remarkable since 2018 and NETFLIX is in the center of attention. According to the survey by Nielsen Korea, a ratio of people who answered that the time they watch TV decreased to 58.5 percent with the
Working two years and a half as a student reporter in The Dongguk Post is finally coming to an end, and I took time to look at things around me lately. Many things have changed and I realized I got so used to the Post life. I always thought I would just be really happy when this moment comes, but it

For the last few days, it was proved that politician Kim Sung-tae’s daughter got a job from KT illegally. Starting from Kim, other cases of illegal employment from KT have been revealed that more than six people got a job even though they were not qualified. On Kim’s daughter case, Kim ignored origi
Japan has claimed that South Korean destroyer, carrying out a humanitarian mission in East Sea to rescue North Korean fishing boat adrift there, threatened Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force’s P-1 maritime patrol aircraft. They said that destroyer directed the warship’s fire-control radar at the a
