There is a TV series named The Good Place that I enjoyed a few years back. In the show, the characters claim that the world became too complicated to judge whether a person is good or bad. You might buy a cup of coffee, but it might turn out to be a product of child labor, or by sending e-mails, you might be contributing to the acceleration of global warming without being aware of it. This idea left a strong impression on me, and I think it is not limited to only the good or bad of a person. Discrimination. This is a concept that has been a hot potato in our society for some time. We learn tha

In Korea, readers consume news written by a diverse press through a platform called portal. One feature of this portal is that readers interact with both the reporter and other readers through the comment section. But this is becoming hard to spot in many portals due to the takeover of malicious comments in the comment section. Now these internet trolls have shifted their target to SNS and online communities. Public figures like celebrities and sports stars are hesitant when defending themselves against internet trolls because their profession is based on the public’s recognition. These circum

Living a life, being able to see, feel, and change something is a blessing. But for some people, this is not the case. The book, Me Before You, gave me the opportunity to view life from another perspective, and it was a shock to me when I read it for the first time. This is the first book that I re-read, not because the content was too hard to understand but because I was not able to empathize with the character’s actions. Synopsis Having lost her job, Louisa becomes Will’s caretaker. Will was a successful businessman, traveling far and beyond, trying out the most extreme sports. It was not be

70% of the Earth’s surface is taken up by water, and 97% of that water consists of seawater. The seawater’s abundance is drawing attention to it as ‘the’ energy resource for the next generation. Recently the research team of Professor Changshin Jo (GIFT, CE) and Hyebin Jeong (Ph.D. candidate in CE) identified the outstanding performance of chelating agent-applied seawater batteries (SWBs). The research was published recently in the international journal Chemical Engineering Journal. Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile electronics and electric vehicles. But it has a danger of explos

Ever since the pandemic, over-the-top media services (OTT) have been an inseparable part of our life. This phenomenon led to not only a boom in the industry but also global recognition and exports of Korean content (K-Content). But this hype seems to have inspired some wrong people. Both Korean and global OTT have been pulling their hair out over an illegal streaming website. Estimated 10 million users each month and a total of over 1.8 billion views, the site has illegally distributed many contents on their site, including many popular K-Content. Considering that domestic OTT platforms’ month

If I were to define my relationship with writing, my answer would be “a passionate pain”. Writing pains me, but at the same time makes me passionate, unlike anything else. Good writing is hard to accomplish, but the joy of having written a good article is an unsurpassable feeling. For me, writing is an art that requires craftsmanship, patience, and rhythm. Every writing has its own unique story, which I like just as much as the writing process itself. To be more specific, stories of people’s lives and thoughts intrigue me more than anything in the world. Getting to know someone’s story and the
