Trust, not diagnosis
Trust, not diagnosis
Many Korean corporations feel the need to change their corporate culture, and so a natural first step is to undergo a cultural diagnosis. However, this can actually backfire. Organizational culture has such a broad impact that it affects everything, even cultural diagnosis - i.e., how people participate in one and their level of honesty and eagerness.

Campaign gestures
Campaign gestures
During the 22-day campaign period leading up to Korea's 2022 presidential election, voters witnessed two vibrant campaign gestures demonstrated by Lee Jae-myung of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea and Yoon Suk-yeol of the main opposition People Power Party, respectively. One was a “high-kick” shown by the now-defeated Lee, while the other was an “upper-cut” performed by t...

Then I chanced to look at the fresh growth of flowers and plants in the garden and realized that spring had been here for a good while already.

“Go down and down as far as you can. You should not miss the fact that you have to go down even for a moment. Open the gates. Open the door wide, share, and mingle with the people on the floor, so that there is no error between individuals and groups.” - Jang Il-soon

On who looks like a professor
On who looks like a professor
Recently, I read Julia Metraux's article, “Who Looks Like a Professor?” which she wrote eight months ago. Immediately, upon reading the headline, in my mind's eye, I began to visualize former professors whose classes I attended in my school days. I imagined and contrived the appearance I preferred to stereotype. My now personal discerning and comparative mental picture may, p...

Native Korean dogs
Native Korean dogs
Since the dawn of civilization, dogs have been the animals most tightly attached to humans, almost like family members, due to their unconditional affection, outstanding intelligence and unflagging loyalty.

Respecting various voices
Respecting various voices
Whose voices does our society listen to mainly? Social minorities - including women, the youth and disabled people - have not had enough opportunities to speak in public spheres. Empowering these people by respecting their voices can lead to a more mature democracy.
