My name is Lee Young-keun. On July 11, 2008, I left Incheon International Airport and arrived at my first destination, Dandong in China. From that place, I ran 960km with my bicycle (its weight is almost the same as me!) and arrived at Longjing, known for Yoon Dong-ju, one of the famous Korean poets. Now, I’m planning to climb Mt. Baekdu with the Keimyung University flag on my bicycle.After climbing Mt. Baekdu, I’ll visit Beijing to see the ‘2008 Beijing Olympics’. And then I will tour southern China, East Asia, India, Pakistan, the Middle East, and finally the Republic of South Africa in 2010
Sometimes love is the most difficult thing but sometimes it is the easiest thing because it depends on our mind. Do you have someone in your mind? If so, why do you love him or her? The book, Why Do I Love You, doesn't answer the question directly. However, if you read this book, you can feel sympathy with the author about love and understand the meaning of love more than before. The original title of Why Do I Love You was Essays in Love because the form of this book is an essay-writing style which helps you to understand the contents more realistically. Alain de Botton, an author who speciali

Recently, Korea and Japan face a difficult reality resulting from the Dokdo problem. The recent summons of the Korean Ambassador to Japan clearly reveals the abnormal situation Korea and Japan undergo these days. The Dokdo problem is the most outstanding and sensitive matter for Korea and Japan because it is related to a territory issue, one of the most important components which constitute a nation. Moreover, the Dokdo problem is related to the history of Korea and Japan. Especially, Korean people judge that this can be thought of as the other way of Japan's invading Korea, since Japan includ

Whenever I read the Gazette, I feel the Gazette always pays careful attention to the voices of Keimyung students. In the case of the changed newspaper version of the Gazette, I think it is from the Gazette's intention to include what is happening on campus and what the students need more than before.I like most sections of the Gazette. To name just one, it is the "Column" section that I like most. Academic writings written by Keimyung University professors give me many lessons while reading them. The corner makes me think about many of the issues that I have not thought of and gives me the cha

1. The present condition and the prospect of getting jobs in large companies Since the currency crisis in 1997, the economic climate and prospects of Korea have been uncertain. As companies curtail hiring because of high wages, job applicants have difficulty in getting jobs in large companies. In the past, large companies employed applicants not only from universities in the Seoul and Gyeonggi areas but also in other provinces. However, nowadays, only graduates of first-class universities can get jobs in large companies. This employment situation may continue for a while. 2. The trend of inter
The musical the Last Empress has been showing off its fame and staying power since its first showing in 2007, recorded as the successful musical which had more than one million spectators. The reason that this musical could be one of the best representative performances is because it was made by such talented musicians: Korea representative composer Kim Hee-gab, lyricist Yang In-ja, and Australian musician Peter Casey, already famous for his musical arranging talent through his works Cats and Jesus Christ Superstar. Harmonized with the rhythm of orchestra and Korean traditional tunes, the Last
