Lately, I’ve been feeling a lot of contradictions.

Thoughts on Strength
What Makes Someone Truly Strong? Recently, I’ve had the chance to talk about Billions with different people outside of school. Back in Korea, I was the only one who knew about the show, but here, when I mention Billions to people in finance, they almost always recognize it and love it. Every time I talk about Billions, I mention Wendy… Continue reading Thoughts on Strength

Thoughts on Babygirl
On Sunday morning, I finally watched Babygirl. I first came across it while scrolling through Instagram Reels. There was this one scene that stuck with me—Samuel (the male lead) being told by Romy (the female lead) that he had crossed a line, and Samuel asking her if he really had. That moment lingered in my mind, so I… Continue reading Thoughts on Babygirl

Does Art Perfect Religion, or Does Religion Perfect Art? It hasn’t been long since I returned to New York from Rome, and yet as I sat down to write about my last day in Rome, I realized that some of my memories had already begun to blur. I should have started blogging sooner. If someone asked me… Continue reading [011125-011525] ROME – FOURTH NIGHT

Goodbye, Rome, for Now On the second day in Rome, I visited the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Palatine Hill, trying to grasp their historical significance within a short amount of time. This effort left me feeling temporarily disinterested in touring more of Rome the next day. My initial impression of Rome was also different from… Continue reading [011125-011525] ROME – THIRD NIGHT

To Colosseo with ChatGPT The night before, I had set an early reservation for the Colosseum. I recall it wasn’t too early, probably around 8:30 AM. Stepping out into the streets, I noticed how empty they were. It felt starkly different from major cities like Paris, New York, or Tokyo. Afraid I might be late… Continue reading [011125-011525] ROME – SECOND NIGHT

To Rome With Love The morning I left for Rome, I wasn’t in the best mood—not because of the destination, but because I hadn’t prepared enough by learning about Italy or Rome. The three intense days I’d spent in Paris had completely drained me. At first, I had planned to watch YouTube videos to study… Continue reading [011125-011525] ROME – FIRST NIGHT
[010825-011125] PARIS – THIRD NIGHT
The Last Morning In Paris It was the last morning in Paris. Well, not technically the last day—I was heading to Rome the next morning. But since I wouldn’t have time to do anything the next day except travel to the airport, this was practically my last day in Paris. I decided to head to… Continue reading [010825-011125] PARIS – THIRD NIGHT
[010825-011125] PARIS – Second Night
Sticking to the Plan is Hard When I woke up on the second day, it was still raining, just like the first. I thought, “I’ve got so much to do today, starting with the Eiffel Tower in the morning…” and checked the weather app, which said the rain would stop around 11 AM. Since it was cold… Continue reading [010825-011125] PARIS – Second Night
