Introduce my family

May is the month of the family. Last Friday was International Family Day. The 11th of May was Mother’s Day. Even in Korea, the 8th of May was Parents’ Day. Therefore, I thought about what the family meant to me. I grew up under a father who always told me I would belong to my…
01. The history of violence (1)

My life got boring, so I decided to destroy it spectacularly. <14.OCT.2017 in Instagram.> I am pretty much fucked. Suddenly, that first famous sentence from Martian came to my mind.

We won! That cruel, critical laughings about feminists, young women and Democrats lose. They lose. Now is the time to give that laugh back. We kicked out the worst dictator in our history by our hands. We followed the law against people who break the laws. Still, many things need to be rebuilt, but we…
