Sheaf burning
Sheaf burning
On Feb. 5, the first full moon of the Lunar New Year, villagers near Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, celebrated a traditional event called "sheaf burning."

Misfortunes are unforeseeable
Misfortunes are unforeseeable
On a balmy spring morning in May 1989, everything looked normal for another promising day. I was scheduled to go to Seoul the next day to attend the annual commencement of the University of Maryland for which I had been teaching Korean Studies since the 1970s. Everything was set except for my regular eye check at Yeungnam University Hospital, where I had been hospitalized for...

Dazzling smile underneath mask
Dazzling smile underneath mask
“The first step is always the hardest.” The way we wear face masks today reminds me of this proverb. It has been weeks since the indoor mask mandate was lifted in Korea except for certain high-risk places. And recently, on Feb. 17, Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said that Korea may completely lift the indoor mask mandate earlier than forecast, as in May, if the downward trend of...

Loving our low-floor bus system
Loving our low-floor bus system
Low-floor buses have no steps at one or more of their entrances. They also have a low floor for part or all of the passengers' cabins. I first became aware of low-floor buses a few years ago, when I stayed in Hawaii for academic purposes for several months, before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

Irony of economic development
Irony of economic development
Usually people are not having many chances to have decent jobs as they get older. However, in some sense, this is not only a problem for seniors but also for younger people, as employment has been unstable and industry growth has stagnated in the 21st century.

Sin and forgiveness
Sin and forgiveness
We, humans, are weak. We have no choice but to commit sins while living in this world. Envy, greed, wrong judgment, hatred, etc. are sins that come from ourselves. There are also sins that come from others. Humans get very angry when they are criticized. The more we do good things for God, the more we are criticized. But we don't need to be angry. The best thing is that if we...
