The Dirty Beggar
by Joy Lee
One afternoon, there was an unusual commotion at the corner shop. Curious and eager for gossip, my friend and I rushed over to see what was going on.
“I knew you since you were a little kid! I never thought you would do such a scandalous thing. How DARE you steal from my shop! You dirty beggar! If you ever do this again I’ll make sure your parents know about this and I’ll call the police!” the shopkeeper was yelling red-facedly. I had never seen her that angry before.
We craned our necks to see who was the subject of this tirade, then stopped… Continue reading ?
my favorite picture
by Sung YeEun
This is my favorite picture.
Soon I will graduate from my high school and say good bye to my old pals. As time goes by, my memory in this school may be faded away but I think this beautiful picture will remind me my precious memory that I shared with my beloved friends.
Letter of a Private (이등병의 편지) – Kim Kwang Seok (김광석)
by Lee DaHyeon
The English subtitles are written by me, and freshly posted on YouTube. (View) …I learned that it is very very hard to deliver the exact meaning of the lyrics. Translating Korean to English is a totally different matter from doing so in the opposite direction. It was very challenging that I spent hours pondering how to make it better. I still find my translation inconclusive of the original meaning. …
This song, as I explained in the previous post, bears a special meaning to young Korean males. To Kim Kwang Seok himself, it bore a more special meaning. Here is a talk excerpted from one of his concerts, in which he sang this song for soldiers. … “When this song was first released, I knew that it was a song for me… because I am a private forever. I served only six months in the army. (audience laugh) Well, I didn’t actually feel that there was a problem with that… because… umm….my oldest brother died while serving in the army and I received a benefit from the tragedy. Every time before I sing this song, I think of, well, my brother went to the army when I was in 5th grade, and a yellow envelop with his clothes in was delivered to my home. I remember my mom weeping at the sight of it. I think if you live happily without injuries in the army, it will be a great bliss for yourself, your parents, and the country. Abruptly talking about my brother was, well, somewhat depressing. Let me take a breath and start.”

I don’t really know why I like this picture. Although there are times when I do feel this way – and days like that are terrible – most of the time I don’t. Yet somehow, when I first saw this painting by Andrew Wyeth, I instantly connected with it in every way – the lonely figure in that posture, looking towards the house half longingly and half frightenedly (is that a word?), and the emptiness of the field and horizon. And I love the angle and the spacing of the painting. I know nothing about art, and only have my instincts, but I like this painting a lot from my gut instinct.

Introducing myself
I have doubts. I doubt people, fear people, but therefore long for people. I doubt the honesty of photography, the so called moment of reality. And I doubt myself. Am I introducing the true me now or just making up a person who would appeal to you? But I have no doubt that I need doubts. I can free myself from the general knowledge and suggest new perspectives because I have doubts.
