The temperature in summer in Korea has risen by an average of 1.6°C over the past 100 years.

Korea is a country with a very high suicide rate among teenagers. A lot of students will be able to sympathize with those who feel overwhelmed by the test period or are left floundering in the swamp of performance evaluation. During these evaluations, students are encouraged to compete with their friends before they bonding with each other, and while struggling to survive in this educational system, they realize a sense of skepticism from an early age. Everybody regrets a choice they made at some point in their life. In particular, adolescents realize that in the process of becoming an adult,…

I couldn't get beyond this thought throughout the book. I admire the many human rights movements at home and abroad who have
In 2017, small candles gathered to form a torch, which became a huge flame and achieved regime change. However, after five years of the Moon administration, the people realized that the reality we had hoped for was nothing but vain imagination, and President Moon did not really make much difference. The public, who believed that things would get better, fell into a great sense of emptiness. The past five years have never been experienced before: soaring real estate prices, extremely low labor value, and lives lost daily due to the government's late response to COVID-19. Despite these circumsta
