People have various life goals. Working at the Times is one of mine because of the uniqueness of KAIST and the Times. Three famous stars' names explain me to people: Chan-ho Park (major league baseball pitcher), Hae-chul Shin (rock star), and Tae-ji Seo (rock star).

I have liked Chan-ho Park since I was a kid. At first, I just liked great pitching. Now his human aspects - maturity, modesty, calmness, strong will, and eagerness to help other people have made me his eternal fan. I like him not as a baseball star but as a human being. Although Hae-chul Shin is a musician, I like his ideas more than his music. He's a very cynical and amazing speaker. I have never met him, but he is one of my most important teachers. He's a little dangerous, though. I was crazy for Tae-ji Seo when I was a teen-ager. I leaned on his music whenever times got tough for me. I got to like Rock 'n Roll thanks to him. Briefly, Chan-ho Park influenced my heart, Hae-chul Shin influenced my brain, and Tae-ji Shin influenced my soul.

As I told you, I am busy doing many things. Study, love, newspaper, baseball, Korean chess, reading books ... . I am not sure if I can succeed, but I am positive that I will have a happy life.
