Virtual ADB meeting
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the second stage of the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), established Dec. 19, 1966, was conducted virtually Sept. 17 and 18 to discuss the path toward Asia and the Pacific coordinated by headquarters in Manila. As a member of the former employees of ADB, I was invited to participate in th...

Defending democracy
Defending democracy
Watching the opening debate between former U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden and his opponent was painful. Even more upsetting were, however, those comments afterward which indiscriminately blamed the participants for what is supposed to become a symbol and milestone for a "decline of American-style liberal democracy."

Walking leisurely
Walking leisurely
Since I was little, I haven't been physically very strong. I was involved in taekwondo, swimming, kendo and yoga. But not long after starting any exercise program, I would quit. When there was free time, I preferred reading books to working out.

Comedy helps in life
Comedy helps in life
A crafty comedian knows how to tell a thought-provoking joke which will appeal to audiences from all walks of life. I enjoy smoothly-delivered comedy. Strangely enough, I sometimes meet people who are convinced I have no sense of humor. What I find funny is that they can't wrap their heads around the fact different people laugh at different things. As a matter of fact, we use...

Virtual communication
Virtual communication
Since January, my employees and I have been working from home. In the beginning, it was difficult to collaborate because we were no longer sharing the same physical context.

Mountain of memories
Mountain of memories
Confined at home endlessly day after day due to the coronavirus pandemic, I miss lots of things outdoors. First and foremost, I miss clean, fresh air in the mountains. Waegwan is a small town with a population of only about 30,000 and there is nothing much to enjoy from the perspective of culture and entertainment. It doesn't have a single cinema.

A natural delight: Dongcheon River in Suncheon
A natural delight: Dongcheon River in Suncheon
Suncheon, a city about 400 km south of Seoul, has a population of 250,000. The northern area of downtown Suncheon is covered with mountains and the southern region is made up of wide fields and the Suncheon Bay Wetlands. Thanks to this geographical trait, a 27km-long Dongcheon River runs from the north and meets Suncheon Bay Gardens in the south.
