  • Han Kang and the Nobel Prize in LiteratureBy Lee Han-na Reporter, Junior of Chemical and Biological EngineeringKoreans cannot win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The main character, Na-young, from the movie Past Lives left Korea with this belief. However, on December 10th, 2024, the first Nobel Prize in Literature winner from Korea was announced. After the announcement that Han Kang was awarded the Nobel Prize, readers flocked to the bookstores to buy her books, and all of her books sold out within six days. How did Han Kang become both the first Korean, as well as the first Asian woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature?What is it about her work that moved readers all around the world?Author Han KangIn 1970, Han Kang, born in Gwangju City, is the daughter of the novelist Han Seung-won. She grew up in an environment where literature is at hand. After moving to Seoul with her family, she majored in the Department of Korean language and literature at Yonsei University to gain ground in literature.Han Kang made her debut as a poet after graduating from university in 1993. She published four poems in the 24th issue of the quarterly magazine Literature and Society while also working as a journalist for a cultural magazine. The following year, in 1994, she officially debuted as a novelist when her short story titled 「Red Anchor」 won the Seoul Newspaper New Years Literary Contest. Since then, Han Kang has solidified her position in a Korean literature by publishing a variety of works, including 「Yeosu」, 「Fruits of My Woman」, 「Your Cold Hand」, 「Black Deer」, 「The Wind Blows, Go」, and others. In 2005, she won the Yi Sang Literary Award, one of Koreas most prestigious literary prizes, marking the first record that a father and daughter had both received the award. Furthermore, in 2016, she gained international recognition as the first Asian author to win the Man Booker International Prize with 「The Vegetarian」. Continuing her global success, her 2021 novel 「I Do Not Bid Farewell」 made her the first Korean writer to receive the 2023 Prix Mdicis tranger in France, as well as the mile Guimet Prize for Asian Literature.In addition to her writing, Han Kang taught fiction writing at the Creative Writing of the Seoul Institute of the Arts from 2016 to 2018. Her students described her as a professor with a delicate yet intense sensibility.The Nobel Prize in LiteratureIn accordance with Alfred Nobels will, the Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded to an author who has xss-created works that present the most ideal direction in the field of literature. The prize not only recognizes outstanding literary quality but also considers the social messages that the writer has consistently conveyed through their works. The Swedish Academy, which decides the prize winner, stated that Han Kang was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical trauma and exposes the fragility of human life. This recognition stems from her profound exploration of the body and mind, life and death, as well as her delicate portrayal of violence, wounds, and the process of healing. Han Kang has demonstrated an exceptional ability in combining historical events in Korea with personal experiences, transforming them into a universal human narrative through literature. She was reportedly having dinner with her son and enjoying an ordinary evening when she received news of the award, and was said to be taken aback by the unexpected announcement.Representative Works「The Vegetarian」: Can a person ever be completely innocent from violence?「The Vegetarian」, which won the Man Booker International Prize, is a novel that raises fundamental questions about violence and human existence, portraying every character as a perpetrator of varying degrees of violence.The novel is structured to depict the protagonist, Yeong-hye, through three different perspectives:- Part 1: The VegetarianFrom the viewpoint of Yeong-hyes selfish husband, this section portrays his discomfort as his wife unexpectedly declares her commitment to vegetarianism. Because of his expectation on her to remain an unremarkable and obedient wife, he fails to understand her transformation, resulting in ultimately isolating her.- Part 2: Mongolian MarkThis section explores the crossing of moral boundaries as Yeong-hyes brother-in-law, an artist, becomes obsessed with her body under the pretext of art. His desire leads to another form of violence, exploiting her vulnerability.- Part 3: Flaming TreesThe final section shifts to the perspective of Yeong-hyes older sister, In-hye, who watches as Yeong-hye abandons her humanity, yearning to become a plant. Despite her concern, In-hye ultimately deems her as mentally ill and sends her to a psychiatric hospital, becoming another agent of violence.No one can understand me Doctors and Nurses are all the same They do not even try to understand Just giving medicines and injections.Did Young-hye endure and move past the pain and sleepless nights that she is secretly having, at faster speed than most people?Part 3 naturally draws attention as it highlights the contrast between the two sisters, In-hye and Yeong-hye, in how they cope with violence and oppression despite growing up in the same household. Raised under a violent and patriarchal father, In-hye survived by conforming to his expectations and avoiding direct violence by being obedient. In contrast, Yeong-hye could not escape and fully absorbed the violence, experiencing it in its most direct and brutal form. In-hye represents a person who chooses to compromise with social expectations, appearing to live a relatively stable and untroubled life. However, as she observes Yeong-hye rejecting conventional norms and following her inner voice, she begins to recognize her lifelong submission to the social order. This realization forces her to confront the extent to which she has suppressed her desires and freedom in order to conform to social expectations.This novel powerfully illustrates how defining others through language is, in itself, an act of violence. Yeong-hye is labeled as the ordinary wife her husband desires, the normal woman who does not deviate from societal prejudices, the good daughter who obediently follows her fathers authority, and the mentally ill person in need of treatment. However, her own will is never considered. Ultimately, 「The Vegetarian」 dissects the relationship between the normality defined by society and the violence inherent within it, prompting readers to reconsider the meaning of violence and oppression.「Greek Lessons」: What part of humanity is truly worthy of our attention and love?「Greek Lessons」 is a novel that captures a fleeting moment in which a woman who is losing her ability to speak and a man who is gradually losing his sight, each living in solitude, come to encounter one another. As a child, the woman loses her ability to speak without any signs. Later, she experiences divorce and the loss of custody, sinking even deeper into silence. She eventually decides to learn Ancient Greek, a long-dead language no longer in use, and paradoxically finds comfort within it. The Greek teacher is a man who left his family in Germany and returned alone to Korea. As he gradually loses his sight, he descends further into darkness. One day, through a coincidence, these two people attempt to communicate in their own ways.Doesn't it feel strangely unsettling? The fact that our bodies have eyelids and lips. That they can sometimes close from the outside or be tightly locked from within.When we eventually return the weakest, softest, and most lonesome thing we possessour very lifeto the material world, no cost will be given to us in return.The mans story is told in the form of a letter to someone, telling his past. Through these letters, the reader learns about the love and pain he is carrying. He once loved a woman in Germany who had lost her hearing due to illness. At the time, he was gradually losing his sight, so he suggested using lip-reading as a means of communication. However, the woman could not accept this, and eventually, a violent incident occurred. Since they were unable to stay together, they went their separate ways, leaving the man with a deep and long-lasting wound.The woman is losing her ability to speak, and the man is losing the light in his life, yet they communicate with each other in their own ways. The woman does not speak aloud, but she handwrites on the mans palm with her finger or makes small gestures to signal her presence, letting him know she is here to listen. In response, the man assures that she is hearing him through her subtle reactions, gazes at her faintly visible figure in the darkness, and confesses his innermost thoughts. In the end, their connection is sustained by a new form of communication that transcends language itself. As the womans voice almost slips out once more, the novel comes to a quiet ending.This novel explores how human beings can understand and connect with each other even though words and light gradually fade away. It suggests that we do not form relationships through each others strengths, but rather through our most vulnerable parts. Even without sight or speech, communication is possible. By accepting and revealing each others fragility, true understanding and love can emerge. Ultimately, the novel shows that love can become a source of resilience and hope in life.「Human Acts」: Can the past help the present? Can the dead save the living?「Human Acts」 is a novel set against the background of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising, depicting the resistance of citizens against state violence and the long-lasting trauma that followed. The Gwangju Uprising was a democratic uprising led by the citizens of Gwangju and South Jeolla Province, demanding the abolition of martial law, the establishment of a democratic government, and the resignation of Chun Doo-hwan and the new military regime. In response, the military government deployed airborne troops, brutally suppressing both ordinary citizens and armed civilian militias, resulting in a tragic number of casualties and victims. This event left the people of Gwangju with an unforgettable trauma. The novel intertwines multiple perspectives, portraying the overwhelming violence of the time while ultimately exploring human dignity and the pursuit of light in the face of darkness.In the first chapter of the novel, Dong-ho, who witnesses the death of his friend Jeong-dae during the democratization movement, is addressed in the second-person pronoun you. This chapter portrays his inner turmoil as he helps collect the bodies of the deceased and ultimately follows him through his final choice. Dong-hos death serves as a connecting thread to the characters introduced in the following chapters, compelling them to reflect pain, guilt, and the meaning of survival. The next five chapters shift perspectives to different individuals who faced the violence in Gwangju, and the final chapter is told from the perspective of Dong-hos mother, who has lost her son.Since I could not hold a funeral for you after you died, my life itself has become a funeral.Yes, conscience. That is the most terrifying thing in the world. On the day I stood before the barrels of guns, pushing a cart loaded with the bodies of those the soldiers had shot dead, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people, I was startled to suddenly discover something pure within myself.Han Kang has shared what inspired her to write this novel, recalling how, as a child, she found the photo book of the Gwangju Uprisings horrific scenes. The album contained images of bodies of the deceased and people standing in line to donate blood for the wounded. Confronting these images, Han Kang asked herself: How can humans be capable of such extreme violence while also standing opposite such overwhelming violence? She believed that to embrace a world where these dualities coexist, one must face the mystery of such contradictions. With this thought, she started on writing this novel.Many readers express that reading this novel is a painful experience. However, at the same time, it allows them to stand within an unforgettable moment of history and confront the truth. Through 「Human Acts」, Han Kang does more than simply record the emotions of individuals caught in a historical tragedy. She demonstrates that the very act of reflecting on what we can do as readers in the present, can serve as a bridge between memory and the present, showing that remembrance itself has the power to bring about change.Author Han Kang is a writer who has brought Korean literature to a global audience through her profound narratives and lyrical prose, exploring the human psyche, social violence, and the meaning of existence. Her works go beyond mere storytelling. They pose questions that linger, compelling readers to dwell on them and engage in profound contemplation. Han Kangs unique style often makes her novels resemble poetry, leaving lingering impressions with every turn of the page. In 「The Vegetarian」, she examines personal resistance and societal oppression. In 「Greek Lessons」, she explores the warmth of language and relationships. In 「Human Acts」, she confronts historical trauma, the weight of memory, and fundamental questions about human existence. Through these works, Han Kang continues to expand the boundaries of literature, inviting readers to reflect on the complexities of humanity.Literature is not simply an xss-object of analysis and interpretation. In Han Kangs works, each word is imbued with vivid sensations and emotions, allowing readers to experience and interpret them in their own ways according to their own perspectives and experiences. Literature is not just about following a plot. It is about emotionally engaging with characters and situations, reflecting on ones inner self, and through this process, awakening a new perspective of seeing the world. Han Kangs Nobel Prize in Literature invites more readers to engage with her works, reflect on the profound questions she raises, and discover new perspectives on life and society. Furthermore, this recognition is expected to draw greater attention to Korean literature, paving the way for its continued rise on the global literary stage.ReferencesHan Kang. The Vegetarian.

October 25th, Dokdo Day

  • October 25th, Dokdo DayBy Lee Ye-rim Editor-in-chief, Junior of ChineseEvery year on October 25th, South Korea commemorates Dokdo Day. This occasion allows Koreans to express their strong connection to Dokdo and reflect on the islands significant role in Korean history. However, many foreigners may not be familiar with the name, Dokdo, and might not fully grasp why this small island holds such importance for South Korea. So, what makes Dokdo, a tiny rocky island in the east, so special?Dokdo Day is more than just a celebration of the island; it represents Koreas sovereignty and national pride. The story of Dokdo goes beyond current territorial disputes and highlights Koreans efforts to preserve their historical roots.Dokdo has been recorded as a Korean territory for thousands of years. Since the Silla period in the 6th century, Dokdo, along with Ulleungdo, was seen as a vital defense point in the East Sea. Historical texts from that time clearly state that Dokdo belongs to Korea. Official records from the Joseon Dynasty, such as the Sejong sillok jiriji (Annals of King Sejong) and the Dongguk Yeoji Seungnam, explicitly mention Dokdo as Korean territory. Even after the Joseon period, Dokdo continued to be managed as part of Korea and remained under Korean control.Notably, on October 25, 1900, Emperor Gojong of the Korean Empire reaffirmed Dokdo as Korean territory through The Korean Empire Ordinance 41. This legal declaration was significant as it established Dokdo as part of Korea before Japan attempted to claim it illegally. In the early 20th century, Japan revealed its imperial ambitions toward the Korean Peninsula and illegally occupied several regions of Korea, including Dokdo. After the end of World War II in 1945, Japan was required to return the Korean Peninsula and its territories to Korea. In this process, Dokdo naturally returned to being part of Korea and remains under South Koreas effective control to this day.Nonetheless, Japan continues to assert its ownership of Dokdo even after the end of the war. In 2005, the Shimane Prefecture of Japan designated a Takeshima Day to formalize its claims to the island. In response, the South Korean government has firmly maintained that Dokdo cannot be a subject of dispute and is clearly recognized as a South Korean territory based on historical, geographical, and international law. Therefore, Dokdo is widely known in the international community not as a contested territory but as an integral part of South Korea. For Koreans, Dokdo symbolizes not just a simple island or a political issue, but also their sovereignty and history.Dokdo Day is designated to commemorate the date on October 25, 1900, when the Korean Empire officially declared Dokdo as part of its territory. Although it is not a legally recognized holiday, the day emerged in the early 2000s through a movement led by civic groups aimed at raising awareness about the history of Dokdo. Thanks to their efforts, Dokdo Day gradually gained national recognition and became a symbol of public interest and voluntary participation. While it has not been officially designated as a legal holiday by the government, Dokdo Day remains a significant occasion for many South Koreans to express their affection and pride for Dokdo.Moreover, Dokdo is an island that holds the wonders of nature. Comprising two main islands and 89 smaller islets, Dokdo boasts a unique ecosystem that has earned it the status of a natural monument. Over 80 species of plants, rare seabirds, and various marine creatures call Dokdo home. This rich biodiversity is attributed to the islands deep waters and pristine marine environment. Dokdo holds significant meaning not only for its natural beauty but also as a vital part of Koreas spiritual heritage. For centuries, it has served as a symbolic island for Koreans in their commitment to safeguarding the East Sea, closely linked to their national identity. For this reason, Koreans view Dokdo not merely as a small rock island, but as a crucial site that embodies their pride and history.There are various ways to commemorate Dokdo Day. Many cities and towns host exhibitions or photo displays related to Dokdo, helping to raise awareness of its beauty and significance among citizens. Additionally, schools conduct lessons about Dokdos history, allowing students to learn about its ecological and geographical importance.Moreover, on Dokdo Day, programs are organized to facilitate visits to Dokdo. The island is often said to require three generations of good deeds to visit, highlighting the difficulty of accessing it. The weather and waves significantly influence the ability to visit Dokdo, and its geographical xss-location.generally makes it a challenging destination. However, on special occasions like Dokdo Day, many people seek to visit the island. Those who have the opportunity to see Dokdo firsthand not only marvel at its beauty and natural environment but also gain a deeper understanding of why the island is so important.In addition, various online campaigns are actively conducted in South Korea to raise awareness about the Dokdo issue within the international community. These campaigns aim to inform people worldwide about Dokdos history and to communicate South Koreas position on the matter.Not only Korean students but also international students have ample opportunities to learn about Dokdo and participate in related events. Within universities, seminars, lectures, and discussions are held, providing deeper insights into Dokdos history and cultural significance. In particular, foreign students can engage with Korean peers through these events, sharing diverse perspectives on Dokdo. Additionally, visits to various museums and memorials dedicated to Dokdo, located in cities across the country, offer detailed explanations of the islands history and natural environment.For Koreans, Dokdo holds a meaning that extends far beyond that of a mere island. This small island is emblematic of Koreas historical roots and national identity, symbolizing sovereignty and pride for the Korean people. Understanding the history and significance of Dokdo is a pathway to gaining a deeper appreciation of Korean culture and history.Through the process of learning about Dokdo, international students can gain insight into how Koreans have preserved and developed their history and culture. They will also catch a glimpse of Koreas sovereignty, identity, and cultural pride through Dokdo. We hope that more students will take an interest in Dokdo and actively participate in related events in the future.

  • Discussion of HBNU, CNU IntegrationBy Bae So-young Editor-in-chief, Junior of English Language and LiteratureDiscussion of integration between HBNU and Chungnam National University (CNU) is a hot potato in the educational field. Students may receive the news through surfing the internet or from the campus news. The following includes information about integration and its background.What is university integration?There are three types of structural reform of national universities: University alliance, university alliance incorporation, and university integration. Specifically, HBNU and CNU are discussing university integration.As the table above states, university integration means more than two national universities transform into a single university. There are two types of university integration: One-to-one integration and absorption integration. One-to-one integration means equally integrating, and absorption integration means one university absorbed into the other. For example, Gyeongnam National University of Science and Technology was absorbed into Gyeongsang University and integrated as Gyeongsang National University.Background of university integration of HBNU and CNUThe background of university integration between HBNU and CNU is because of the decrease in the number of the school-age population. The birth rate became a serious problem because the more the birth rate decreases, the more the school-age population decreases. According to University Alarmy, only 39 out of 187 universities met a 100 percent recruitment rate in 2022, in South Korea.This means 20 percent of universities unfulfilled the recruitment rate. Among them, national universities were a high proportion. To overcome this situation, the scale of the university became the main key. Therefore, HBNU and CNU started discussing university unification.The positive aspect of university integrationSome assert there will be positive changes to each university and the prospect of the local national university. If integration is achieved, an integrated university will have a larger scale than before. Specifically, the number of full-time professors is estimated to be 1,194, which is the same level as Pusan National University and Kyungpook National University, and the number of students is estimated to be 26,459, which is the largest number of students in the country. As mentioned earlier, due to the rapid decrease in the school-age population, the scale of the university became a competitive factor. Moreover, the integrated university can strengthen competitiveness in the educational and research fields. Also, students can have diverse educational opportunities and a positive impact on regional development, too.Concern of integrationOn the other hand, some are concerned about the negative changes of unification. According to the survey of CNU, in which 37 percent of undergraduate students participated, in September 2022, 96.3 percent disagreed with the integration. The CNU student council conducted a campaign against integration and even made a CNU altar. Not only CNU but also HBNU have negative opinions about integration. Then why are the HBNU and CNU students disagreeing?| Concern for absorption integrationFirst, some concern about absorption integration, which can lose each universitys characteristics. As mentioned before, there are two types of university integration: One-to-one integration and absorption integration. Students are concerned about absorption integration because there are no specific countermeasures for overlapping departments and the name of the university.| Concern for university value declinesSecond, some concern about the decline of the university value. Each university has a unique identity, history, and symbol. If the two universities integrate, the integrated university can derive value declining rather than strengthening competitiveness, due to the loss of each characteristic.How to express the opinionSome are interested in this topic, but some are indifferent. Some say that they do not want to be deeply involved because the topic is too deep, or lack of information, or the lack of xss-objectivity. Then, is there any way for students to express their opinions?How to express the opinionSome are interested in this topic, but some are indifferent. Some say that they do not want to be deeply involved because the topic is too deep, or lack of information, or the lack of xss-objectivity. Then, is there any way for students to express their opinions?1)Participate in the meeting First, there is a way to participate in the meeting. You can get information about the meeting through the website of HBNU. Since the meeting is held to share opinions among students and collect opinions, it is possible to actively present opinions.Meeting held in HBNU conference hall (March 21, 2023)2) HBNU WebsiteSecond, students can use the HBNU website to express their ideas. When you enter the website of HBNU, there is a community that allows students to express their opinions and provide information about the university unification. Students who cannot participate in the meetings or students who want to use the community could access it by the below QR code.Discussion about university integration between HBNU and CNU will make a big difference and various arguments. However, it is clear that the collection of opinions from HBNU and the establishment of integrated values will have desirable consequences. Why dont you express your opinion by participating in the meetings or posting your opinions on the HBNU website?

  • Come to Yesan Market!By Kim Hyun-ah Reporter, Junior of Business AdministrationUntil a few months ago, the Yesan Market in Chungcheongnam-do had closed more than half of its sites due to decreased visitors. However, the Yesan Market has recently emerged as a hot place nationwide. With the influx of tourists from all over the country, the stagnant traditional market has become full of vitality. Whats going on?A hot place with retro vibes, Yesan MarketMore than 100,000 people have visited the Yesan Market in about a month. The Yesan Market has become so popular that 5,000 people visit it daily, even weekdays. The secret is to keep the past appearance of the Yesan Market as it is but to provide food and atmosphere tailored to the current trend. Open space and low prices in Yesan Market, where visitors can freely buy food from each restaurant, also contribute to the popularity.The reason why the dying Yesan had to changeYesan was the hometown of Jongwon Paik, the representative of Theborn Korea, and was one of the representative areas where the local population was gradually decreasing. CEO Paik planned the project to solve this phenomenon in which the region is underdeveloped. Yesan Market aims to revitalize the local economy of the old city centered around the Yesan Market by conducting a Yesan-type old city regional win-win project undertaken jointly by Yesan County and Theborn Korea.The beginning of traditional market change, the DSC Regional Innovation PlatformDSC Regional Innovation Platform University Education Innovation Regional Talent Education Center is promoting social values to solve regional issues for the win-win development of communities in Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungnam. DSC Regional Innovation Platform xss-created a Ye-Curation based on cooperation with Theborn Korea, a famous restaurant company, to promote the Yesan region and support the start-up activities of founders in the Yesan Market.A strong supporter of traditional market change, Ye-CurationThe DSC Regional Innovation Platform xss-created a Ye-Curation consisting of college students to support changes in the Yesan Market. Ye-Curation is a compound word that combines Yesan and Curation, and the main activities consist of two things. The first is promotional and marketing support linked to founders in the restaurant sector in the Yesan area. The second is promotional content production activities to share issues in the Yesan area.The homework that is still left, local extinctionThrough the Ye-Curation activities of Theborn Korea and DSC Regional Innovation Platforms, the Yesan Market has been famous and transformed into a local attraction. The traditional market has been revived through cooperation between local governments and companies. However, it is not known whether this popularity will continue many years later. This is because the popularity of the younger generation, which is heavily influenced by SNS and the Internet, is rapidly fading.Like Yesan Market, some traditional markets in other regions are also pursuing changes. Why dont you visit local traditional markets to pay attention to the problem of local extinction? For the conventional markets to function as a cultural factor and tourism resource, they need our attention now.Source: Theborn Korea

  • 28th Press School:The University Press Wants You!By Kim Hyun-ah Cub Reporter, Sophomore of Business AdministrationIn 2022, July 13 to 15, the 28th Press School was held, to help enhance the basic practical skills of university newspaper reporters, and to improve university media and culture. The 28th Press School was conducted as an online course, using ZOOM.The program consisted of planning coverage theory, press photography theory, and newspaper editing theory, which are all useful for the reporters of university media.This article introduces two of the most impressive subjects among those programs. The first is a planning and coverage subject, which tells you what to plan and how to cover a story. The second subject is an interview course that gives tips on a range of techniques, from preparing interviews to writing articles.*Planning Coverage Theory: A good way to planA good item is a good plan.The university press is a media that reports new facts, but it is not easy to find new facts in a flood of information. New culture and social phenomena are likely to have already been reported by many different established media. Therefore, the university press should combine the new facts with other things in consideration of timeliness.It is also important to always consider the main audience. Unlike established media, university media clearly has a main audience. Therefore, the university press should proceed with information while continuing to consider the main audiences interests.It is important to conduct on-field investigation.COVID-19 has had a lot of influence on face-to-face coverage activities, but it is still important to do on-field investigations. You can comfortably conduct interviews by email or phone, but it is important to vividly capture the interviewers words in the field.*Interview Course: A good way to interviewInterviews are ‘Conversations’ which give access to information.What one of the active reporters said to college reporters is as follows:Interviews are about meeting individuals or groups for a specific purpose; collecting information, and talking. Therefore, it is important to speak naturally to the people you interview. Many college student reporters have a desire to do well, but too much of that mindset can lower their achievements. If you do not understand something during the interview, you could say, I dont understand. Could you say it again?It is a good mindset not to be conscious of interviews.The mindset during the interview is as follows. Do not think that you are doing an interview as much as you can. Basically, interviews are conversations, so it is good to think that you are on date instead. If you are too conscious of the interview itself, then the conversation is often cut off and cannot be re-established.Preparation for good questions is effort.The most important thing in asking good questions is preparing in advance. Preliminary coverage is not enough to go on, over and over again. Efforts for interviews xss-create good questions, and good questions make a good interview. An active reporter explained that A sharp question is good, but the best question is to be asked naturally. If you want to ask a difficult question, then you should xss-create an atmosphere for such a conversation.Show great reactions to the conversation.It is important to react during a conversation. The key here is to express that you are listening and understanding well, rather than just simply responding to the other persons words. The active reporter who conducted the interview course recommended xss-expressions such as I think so, too, and How about thinking like this?Do not forget the basics of the interview article.College student journalists often miss the basics in interviews or interview articles. It should not be forgotten that the six basic principles are always the basis. Also, reporters should always consider the question, Why am I interviewing? Since you are a college student reporter, it is most desirable to look at it from the perspective of a college student.To write a great interview article, you must be into the field.While doing field interviews, there are many people who record. You should not forget to take down important words while recording. The reporter who conducted the interview course said, No matter how much you listen to it, you can feel the energy of the interview only in that moment. He also added that, if possible, it is better to refrain from email interviews.Those who are current reporters of the university press (university newspapers, university broadcasting stations, etc.) or students related to university public relations (promoters, supporters, reporters, etc.) and who can faithfully participate in the program, can apply to the press school hosted by the professors newspaper.Most of the students related to the university press participate in this program. In order to get an opportunity such as the press school, why not pay attention to recruiting members of HBNU press in 2023? Do not miss the opportunity to become a university journalist and contribute to the development of the university press!

  • Semiconductor IndustryBy Lee Seo-jin Cub Reporter, Senior of Material Science and EngineeringThe semiconductor has become a very important part of our modern lives. It is not only used in small devices like smartphones, and laptops, but it is also essential in electric cars and other types of machinery. Moreover, because of the invention of autonomous driving and AI, the importance of the semiconductor is expected to grow. In particular, as Koreas semiconductor industry currently accounts for 20 percent of all exports, its importance is now being emphasized.The dictionary definition of a semiconductor is material that conducts electricity, only under certain special conditions, and it is used to control current. The electrical conductivity value of the semiconductor changes, according to the voltage, heat, and wavelength of the light that is applied to it. This value is bigger than the insulators electrical conductivity value, and smaller than the conductors. According to their uses, there are 2 types of semiconductors: Memory semiconductors and system semiconductors. Memory semiconductors store data, and system semiconductors have information processing functions, so they can perform computation and control. Memory semiconductors account for 20 percent of the total semiconductor market. Samsung and SK Hynix have a very high share in the global market. In the system semiconductor market, Intel, which makes CPU (central processing unit), has the highest share.Then how are semiconductors made? There are 8 main steps which are known as the Eight crucial steps to semiconductor manufacturing.[Creating the Wafer] The wafer works as a canvas in semiconductors. Also called a disc, it is a thin, glossy slice of a silicon rod that is cut in specific diameters.[The Oxidation process] A silicon oxide film (SiO2) is made on the surface of the wafer. This xss-layer protects the surface from chemical impurities that might permeate during the next process.[Circuit pattern] Drawing structures on the wafer, via the photolithography in nano-scale.[Etching a circuit pattern] The etching process removes any unnecessary materials so that only the desired patterns remain on the exterior. To fabricate such structures, this can be repeated a few hundred times until the xss-layers of thin film material result in a semiconductor chip.[Deposition, ion implantation] Depositing thin films, and implanting ions, to enable semiconductors to have electrical properties.[xss-metal interconnect] Connecting xss-metal wires to the semiconductor circuit to give electrical signals.[EDS (Electrical Die-Sorting)] Verifying the chips that have reached the desired quality level, using electrical characteristic testing.[Packaging and package test] Packing and testing the package to safely protect it from the external environment.As the semiconductor industry is in the spotlight all over the world, at HBNU, students from various departments can jump into the semiconductor industry. Basically, there are many categories, such as electronic engineering, computer engineering, new materials engineering, and mechanical engineering. Related to production, there is Industrial management engineering, and related to etching solutions there is chemical engineering, so you can jump into a wide variety of semiconductor industries from HBNU. Moreover, many universities have also established semiconductor departments now. In particular, contracting semiconductor departments have the advantage of guaranteeing future employment.So, how can undergraduates gain experience in the semiconductor industry? They can enter the lab studying semiconductors, or participate in special semiconductor process education. Types of semiconductor process education are operated by PTA, SEMI, LetYouin, ENGINIC, and ISRC. In addition, there are also ways to obtain various certificates, or enter graduate schools. To gain great experience, it is better to make a plan to participate in advance. If you are hoping to get a job at a large company, it is better to prepare language scores, like OPIC and TOEIC Speaking, or gain job related experience, before graduation.In July 2022, the government announced a plan to train 150,000 people in semiconductor related skills over the next 10 years, and they announced a plan to increase the number of semiconductor-related departments by about 5,700. Due to the previously mentioned reasons, the future for the semiconductor industry in Korea is looking bright. Having read this article, you now have a good understanding ofsemiconductors, so why not take the opportunity to jump into this industry?

  • Counterfeit Is IllegalBy Lee Sun-min Cub Reporter, Junior of Department of Computer EngineeringLuxury: a product where a user gains the authority to use a specific brand.Counterfeit: a product that is used or imitated without any legal authority.Lately, the consumption of luxury products has been rapidly increasing, due to the pent-up demand, caused by COVID-19. There has been an increase in people who are expending luxury products so that they can show off their economic power. However, luxury brands prices are now increasing. It is becoming difficult to get these products because of the high prices, and limited quantities. Therefore, people are trying to seek products in a different way. This way is by Counterfeit. The products are not the real thing, but if you are not an expert, it can be difficult to know the difference between a counterfeit and a genuine product. Plus, you are able to buy counterfeit products at a much cheaper price. So, is purchasing counterfeit products a wise consumption? The following article looks at the production and selling of counterfeit products, and what effect it has.Appearance and Enlargement of the MarketSo, how did counterfeit products begin to be produced? Previously, there was an article of literature from Goreo and Joseon which read, Beware of fake Cheong-Sim-Hwan. This shows that counterfeit products have existed for a long time. As manufacture-technology has developed over time, the quality levels of counterfeit products are increasing. Also, counterfeit production is inevitable, because fashion brands can duplicate products easier than any other industries. Lately, the conspicuous consumption of premium products is getting higher, so the counterfeit market scales are also getting bigger. Also, as international-trade grows, and expands from offline to online markets, products can now be traded all over the world.Changes that Counterfeit Production and Consumption have Brought AboutThe first change is that the value of brands is decreasing. Counterfeit products can damage the brands value and image, which can then cause economic losses. In the case of luxury products, the more that people purchase counterfeit products, the weaker the symbolic value of that luxury product becomes. Therefore, the luxury industry is making great efforts to increase the value of the brand. Chanel, a premium luxury brand for example, has sharply raised the price of their most popular products and also limited the number of purchases, so that each person can purchase only one product per year.The second change is the disappearance of the perception that purchasing counterfeit products is morally wrong. Recently, more people are reviewing imitation purchases and introducing fake-market xss-location. in detail through their personal SNS, YouTube accounts, and blogs. They feel satisfaction through buying counterfeit products that are almost the same as the originals, and they also feel proud of it. Even sellers tell you, Do not worry about being restricted, and keep shopping. Selling counterfeit products is illegal, but punishment for those counterfeit products is low. If the government tries to catch the counterfeit markets, then the sellers will move their marketplaces online, which will be another big problem, and will also make it harder for them to be caught. As a result of this current situation, customers no longer feel guilty about illegally buying counterfeit products.How to Reduce Consumption on Counterfeit ProductsSo, how can we reduce fake consumption? Experts believe that it will be resolved only when the type of consumption changes, or when the public perception that the purchase of counterfeit products is wrong begins to expand. Therefore, it should become a global trend for consumers not to consume counterfeit products. with an efficient marketing strategy which identifies the characteristics and uniqueness of each consumer. While respecting the choices of pursuing individual uniqueness and preference for imported luxury products, making a society that feels shameful of buying counterfeit products will reduce the consumption of fake products.Everyone has a desire to acquire something that can give them maximum satisfaction. They are learning the fancy side of celebrities and making comparisons between those people and themselves. Therefore, once you buy a luxury brand product, you can show that you are the kind of person who can afford to buy expensive products. However, after that, you might also avoid buying low-priced products, because of the thought that some people might consider you to be a person who makes excessive consumptions, or takes someone elses products. Therefore, counterfeit goods that are similar to the real products, would not easily disappear, because buying counterfeit products is an easy way to get the value of real things. However, a counterfeit product is just an imitation of a masterpiece. No-one will acknowledge the value of those counterfeit goods. People who sell counterfeit products, and also the people who consume those products, are both behaving illegally. We should try not to justify and rationalize those illegalities anymore.

Youth Jeonse loans: It is a project to provide loans at low interest rates for young people who lack rent funds.Qualified targets: You must be homeless at the time of applying for a loan. Also, only young people with an annual income of less than 50 million won (aged 19 to 34) are eligible.Support details: The limit is up to 70 million won, up to 80 percent of the deposit, and the loan rate is 1.5 ~ 2.1 percent, The loan period is at least two years and can be extended four times.How to apply: There are two types of applications. These are online and visiting applications. Online applications can be made on the Website of fund E-den Den, or visiting applications can be made at nearby bank branches. Also, various documents are required for application, including identification cards, resident registrations, health insurance, and income certificates. If you forget any of them, you cannot apply, so you must take all of them.2. LH Youth Rental Housing: If selected, Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) will sign a contract with the homeowner, and then rent it back to the selected person at a low price.Qualified targets: Young college students or job seekers, aged from 19 to 39, who are homeless can apply for this.Contents of application: College students can sign a contract with a house of less than 18 pyeong, which can be contracted by monthly rent, regardless of the type of officetel or apartment in the university area. The support limit is up to 120 million won in the metropolitan area, 95 million won in metropolitan cities, and 85 million won in other regions.How to apply: LH Subxss-scription Center (apply.lh.or.k) -> Click the Purchase Lease Jeonse menu -> After that, you can press the subxss-scription application on the website, or press the rental information to check related announcements.These days, young people are in a difficult situation due to the unemployment crisis, poor housing conditions, and financial burdens. The difficulties have recently increased due to the spread of COVID-19. However, in order to reform the lives of young people, these institutional foundations have recently been laid out, and I hope that young people can actively use these policies to get through the current difficult times.
