Let me introduce the minor tastes of ST to Soongsilians, including those you don’t want to know, but are curious about! Maybe we have this rare taste...........................................................Ed
During its 39th anniversary, ST delivered quality information through numerous articles, from news about the school to events around the world. However, there was little opportunity to inform the various members of ST. Therefore, in this article, ST would like to introduce ‘Too much information,’ or the so-called TMI, in relation to ST members’ favorite music, dramas, movies, YouTube videos, and hobbies. ST hopes that we can communicate with the Soongsilians in a new way.
MUSIC
1. Ace of Base’s “All That She Wants” and “Living in Danger”: When my dad is driving, he plays mostly old pop songs, and that’s how I first heard them. Among those pop songs, the songs by Ace of Base were the ones I keep hearing. They were definitely exciting pop songs, but the melodies were somewhat sad. The lyrics of those two songs are not really pleasant, but they sound optimistic. When talking about the lyrics, the first song includes: “All that she wants is another baby. She’s gone tomorrow, boy.” Then, the second song sounds even more impressive: “I see lies in the eye of a stranger. You’ll be living in danger. / We’ll never get enough in the eyes of a stranger.”

2. Yoon Ji-young & Car, The Garden’s “One Day You and Me”: I like to look for different songs and recommend those songs to people or in my blogs! In particular, I watched the music video of “One Day You and Me” at least once a day for two weeks!

DRAMA
1. Pretty Proofreader: Etsuko happens to be seen by the proofreading department’s executive officer, and does what she did not want to do. However, she was surprised to realize her aptitude and her burning passion. I thought, ‘Even if I do not want to do it, it can be the right decision for me.’

2. Emily in Paris: Emily left Chicago, and suddenly went on a year-long business trip to France. Since Paris is so beautiful, you can feel a certain degree of vicarious pleasure.

3. Élite: This drama is already quite famous, but there are few people around me who have seen it. It runs until Season 4. All characters have distinct personalities and narratives, so viewers can empathize with them well. I personally don’t like romance dramas, but I was so fascinated with it (ST: It’s actually a thriller). Come on, come up with Season 5 quickly!
– Noh Yun-jung (ST Reporter)
4. Another Miss Oh: Seo Hyun-jin is so pretty.
– Kang Seoung-wan (ST Reporter)
MOVIE
1. Zootopia: It is my all-time favorite movie. People who may know about it may expect an animation for children, but it features realistically social satire and criticism! It was refreshing to see carnivores twisting the notion that they are stronger than herbivores. It was a fun to think that carnivores are discriminated against by herbivores in the movie, which depicts the standpoint of the weak.

2. Teacher’s Diary and Attila Marcel: When I am tired mentally and physically, working, studying, and being among people, I just find things that deal with ‘emotion’ or ‘healing’ every time. The story of Teacher’s Diary and Attila Marcel features the trauma and memories of being hurt by people in the past. However, the protagonists were comforted and learned new life lessons! I think the healing process is warmly depicted in the movies! :)

3. The Double Life of Veronique: It tells the story of doppelgangers, Veronique and Weronika. Its use of music and visual effects stands out.
– Jeon Min-young (ST Reporter)
HOBBY
Croquis: I didn’t learn art professionally, but I usually liked to draw illustrations or short comics! I felt that I lacked the basic skills, so I started a croquis meeting with two friends, who are interested in art just like me, in February this year. I feel that I am getting better and better at drawing, and continue to participate in the meeting!

YOUTUBE
1. Yummy Waffle: The power of waffle machines and the delicacy of humans seem to create fantastic things.
- Jeon Min-young (ST Reporter)
2. Trash Girl: It is a fun to create strange things, or to produce contents with materials that you do not usually keep an eye on. The chemistry between friends is impressive.
- Jeon Min-young (ST Reporter)
3. CNN10: A briefing on world issues in simple, easy English within 10 minutes. I think it can be a good English language program because of the well-written scripts.
- Park Hyun-tae (ST Reporter)
4. DDIBOO: It is so interesting to make cute things with 3D pens. Time goes by in a flash when you see it.
- Oh Joo-eun (News Editor)
5. Yedy 101: The action sequences and subtitles of a YouTuber against emotional baking and the home café video are sure-fire attractive!
