“In this age where academic intelligence is valued more than other aptitudes, I have grown up with the ability to study well better than others, and I can therefore stay here as a professor.” This is what the professor, who gave a lecture about meritocracy, which refers to the notion that ability can be the dominant force in society, said to the students. In a society that recognized Korea’s overheated ranking of universities and meritocracy as a worthwhile value and consequently considers the process of entering prestigious universities successful, I who had never thought about the fairness of the ability itself was shocked by what the professor said. | |

On Aug. 28, at a party banquet, President Yoon Suk-yeol criticized the opposition party and the media, saying, “The opposition supporters are controlling the media, so they constantly curse the government 24 hours a day.” This narrow-minded media view, where the president of a country simply views criticism of the government as a curse, seems to echo the words of a tyrannical king. It is clear why President Yoon does not take into account his constitutional obligation to guarantee freedom of the press and has no awareness of the far-reaching consequences of his words and actions that undermine the independence of the press. | |

“I see” and “You must have been very upset” are commonly used when we sympathize with someone. However, while saying these things, I wondered whether I was sympathizing with the person or the person was sympathizing with me. And regardless of whether the other person comforted me, or I comforted the other person, I felt empty after the conversation. This is often because they were not truly empathetic. | |

When I woke up in the morning, it was earlier than I thought. I was even more tired because I went to bed late the previous night to do my assignment. I could have slept more, and I felt more tired because I woke up earlier than expected. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, but there were no toothbrushes left. I was wondering where it went, and I remember that I threw away my toothbrush to change it after brushing my teeth last night. I went to the local store to buy a toothbrush. | |

“Listening attentively” means to listen carefully, giving your full attention to the speaker. It refers to not only listening but also listening to and understanding the motivations and emotions that the other person is trying to convey, as well as giving feedback to the other person based on what they are saying. It is often easy to listen to other people’s stories when talking with others, but it is not easy to understand others’ thoughts and sympathize with others’ feelings. | |

People have different preferences, and they can express their individuality depending on what they prefer. The reason why individuality is important is that people can express both their appearance that they want to show to others and their potential tendency and ‘introspection,’ which is their true self. Individuality can not be found, but it appears according to attraction and preference for unknown reasons. | |

A popular TV drama named Twenty-Five Twenty-One ended on April 3rd. The drama enjoyed a lot of attention before airing because the name of the drama was the same as the title of a hit song, which was sung by the famous band Jaurim.
