On the evening of Korean presidency election day, I was also depressed like other 48% of Koreans. Even though I was not a kind of political activists, I had been clearly for one of our presidency candidates, voted for him and waited for good news. Unfortunately, the result was opposite to what I had looked forward to and ironically, at that night, I could sleep early enough to recover from my fatigue caused by jet lag because my interest in the election result chilled out very abruptly. Next morning, although all timelines of twitter and facebook were covered by sigh, anger, and disappointment, I was ok strangely and totally normal as usual. It might be because I was too busy for preparing my lifetime event, the wedding ceremony, to think about other events not directly related to it, such as the election result. My wedding planner scheduled a great deal of something to do and had to follow her without thinking. Fortunately, in the evening of the next day, the schedule finished earlier than I expected and had time to relax. I and my wife decided to watch a movie and chose "Les Miserables".
Again, I was OK even though I was disappointed by the election result and was worried about some of my friends who the new Korean government may harass at one moment. However, I have no choice but to confess, I shed tears of sadness. When the French sang their miserable lives, it was overlapped with the present of some of Koreans. When the ABC sang their passion, it was overlapped with the present of youths who had been eager to vote. When the ABC failed to revolution, it was overlapped with the failure of 48% of Koreans. Eventually, when Les Miserables sang "Do you the people sing", I felt some unexplainable desires.
I just felt the desire to say something. It may not be a kind of political actions. Apologies if you expect me to write political assays or articles. Rather, I prefer her policies, not his ones in some sense. Just want to write something. Just want to express my idea or opinion. Thus, I listed up "Re-activate this blog" as one of my new year's resolutions. I am not sure how long I can keep up this promise. I will give it a try. We will see.
