In 2009, an article written by a professor titled “You Have No Hope” was printed in the University newspaper. He discussed the so-called “20s gaesaekkiron,” who are Korean twenty somethings who do not have passion and are not capable. In the wake of this extreme article, many controversial debates followed. This article was a criticism of Korean twentysomethings who have been indifferent to Korean issues and focused on building “specs.” It received bitter criticism for concealing the real situation of young people experiencing great challenges finding a job and the worst unemployment.

The title sounds like it refers to a couple of new all-action computer games but, sadly, it does not. This is the latest outburst from North Korean commanders on KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) in response to the ‘war games’ conducted by South Korea and the US. By the time you read this the 11-day-long drills will be over, hopefully without incident. Interestingly, while such activities and threats are taking place, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has proposed a three-step plan for unification with North Korea.While 56,000 South Koreans and 30,000 US personnel are engaged in exercises t
Nowadays, many Internet users buy merchandise on Internet shopping malls. They say hello to friends through social networks like Twitter or Facebook. They also collect materials they need on the Internet instead of going to a library. Like this, the Internet makes us more comfortable and lots of things are being done on the Internet.

“In every walk with nature one receives more than he seeks,” mused John Muir, a Scottish-born American naturalist. Until recently, the closest I had ever come to South Korea’s “nature,” and its seemingly innumerable array of mountains, was from the comfort of my home. I would gaze upon the jagged peaks of Palgong Mountain from my window on a sun-kissed Sunday afternoon, contemplating their vastness and the sweat and toil of the many eager hikers determined to scale them. “Sunday is a day of rest”; softly sighing this old adage to myself, I would settle down to yet another lazy Sabbath day upon
Do you remember the red waves made by the Red Devils at the Korea/Japan 2002 FIFA World Cup? I can’t believe it’s been 8 years already and the South Africa 2010 World Cup is only days away. The Red Devils are the official Korean national soccer team supporters. They started as an online club in 1995. They were active in earnest in the France 1998 World Cup and became known to everybody at the Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup. The Red Devils got the name when the foreign press called the red uniformed Korean team “Red Furies” at the Mexico 1983 World Youth Championship, where the Korean team advanced
The purpose of this system is to develop teachers’ teaching ability and methods. Students, parents, and fellow teachers evaluate the teacher’s overall educational activities. The introduction of the system was discussed in 2000, and the MEST (Ministry of Education & Science Technology) began conducting model operations at 48 schools in 2005. The system has been in operation in all elementary, middle, and high schools since March 2010.ProA teacher evaluation system started at all elementary, middle, and high schools in March this year, but the issue remains hotly in dispute. I will demonstrate
