“I cannot afford the university tuition fee. It is too expensive for me.” This is a common worry that many university students have, and so do I. Such thought has been generalized among the students and has continuously been demonstrated for several years. In order to help students who have difficul
There is one thing in team sports that you should never do: leaving a teammate behind. On February 19th, at the 2018 Winter Olympic held in Pyeongchang, Korea, there was a case of abandoning a teammate in Women’s Speed Skating Team Pursuit event. In the race against Netherlands, Korean team pursued
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
