Shim: It’s important to find what you really want to do in the future.
ST: What’s next for you?

I know I said earlier that it’s important to find what you really want to do, but in reality, I’m afraid that what I actually consider in the career that I will pursue is the annual income, my major, and things like that.
ST: To conclude this interview, what do you want to tell the students out there who are trying to earn the highest grades about how to have a worthwhile campus life?
