Finally, December has come. It's the month everything finishes. So, I have to wrap The Sookmyung Times up. Knowing that this is my last 'Letter,' I can't easily think of the right words.

As such, I would like to share with you my feelings towards The Sookmyung Times.I first learned about SMT through the Everytime

Last year, everything that I was interested in got adjusted. Becoming an adult meant I had to make numerous decisions on my own and take responsibility for any consequences that arose from those decisions.

In February, many people lined up to buy masks, and Daegu suffered tremendously from the ever-increasing number of infected persons. In April and May, mass infections broke out in Itaewon, and in August, the virus was spread w

Half a year has already passed. While there are still about four months left, I think 'chaos' is the best word that defines this year. With COVID-19, lots of plans have been canceled and changed, and people now cannot imagine life without wearing a mask. Besides the virus, the year has been rocked w

I’m not a National Insurance Number or blip on a screen… I paid my dues, never a penny short, and proud to do so. I don’t tug the forelock but look my neighbor in the eye and help him if I c

It’s commonly spoken in Korea that stagnant water is bound to become corrupt. While some things that people do or believe such as passion and purity should stay firm, over time, everything changes and to survive those changes, people must adapt. Hearing the words, ‘stagnant water is bound for corrup

Reading global news, it would appear as though society is full of hate, terror, and violence. There does not appear to be any hope. Many cases around the world reflect this reality. Last March in New Zealand, there was a shooting, killing 51 people in a mosque. The assailant targeted Muslims. In Aug
