koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/column… "I get anxious whenever things are going well.” That was the candid confession of a young woman to Ven. Pomnyun, the Korean Buddhist teacher known for his ability to distill life’s anxieties into practical wisdom through his hugely popular 'Dharma Talk.'"
koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/202508… The result is what could be described as a consumerist theater of intimacy. Everyone appears kind, attentive, and harmonious. But when the transaction ends, so does the relationship.
koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/202508… What was once ephemeral and localized is now persistent and global. The moment is dissected in comment threads, parodied in memes and algorithmically amplified until it becomes a cultural flashpoint.
koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/202507… Perhaps the illusion is not merely about cognition but about conscience. And perhaps, to think in a truly human sense is to think within a moral framework.
koreatimes.co.kr/opinion/202506… More than anything else, death is what makes us human. At its core, grief tech touches on that very humanity: to love, to lose, to remember and to forget.
Into the new world … separately? koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… In Korea, young men and women see the world in fundamentally different ways, both feeling victimized and aggrieved by each other. No wonder they are choosing to not get married. They can barely stand each other.
'Deny, Defend, Depose' koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… The demand to depose is also a demand for more certainty and fairness in the system that treats each patient as individuals.
Goodbye Romeo and Juliet; Hello Heathcliff and Catherine koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Young men with decreasing economic prospects are facing ever-diminishing chances of even matching on a dating app, let alone actually physically meeting a woman for a date.
'Mad cow 3.0' elections koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Our bifurcation has literally landed us in completely different digital nations. Our flocking birds are actually flying in different skies altogether.
Han Kang’s Nobel triumph: What it means for Korean Americans koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Han Kang's recognition on the world stage highlight the linguistic and cultural barriers that have emerged over time, further bringing home the fact that Korean Americans are not Korean Koreans.
It's horribly icky and criminal, but is it misogyny? koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… The difference today is that these young men have access to advanced technologies that allows them to bring literally their fantasies to life and share them with others to elevate their in-group status.
The collective must yield koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Of course, the old die hard, and the arc of the universe doesn’t bend in any specific direction. It’s just long.
Cyberpunk at the Olympics koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Unshakeable, uncaring and uncompromising. A middle finger to today's Instagram world thirsting after fleeting likes from total strangers. Yeah, she's cool.
How many Olive Youngs can there be in Seoul? koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… The sheer immensity of the consumption culture in Gangnam will overpower your awareness.
Who are you before you are everything to everybody? koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… But the question that I really wanted to ask was this: "Who are you before you are everything to everybody?"
Cookie cutter gentrification of our lives - The Korea Times koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… I am not complaining. But, somewhere deep within me, I suspect that there is a certain intangible price that I am paying for this molasses-like cloyingness of modern, soulless familiarity.
Tyranny of totality koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… We worship high performance with a religious fervor. And, like a religion, it’s faith-based. It has gotten so bad that eclipse watching has become performance-based. It's 100 percent or nothing, indeed.
Embryonic personhood in Korea - The Korea Times koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20…
Go to hell, Carolina koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Our lives are self-telling narratives within narratives shaped by other narratives that all conspire to control our behavior against our better judgment. Neo would call this the Matrix. A Zen Buddhist would call this karma.
To Insure Promptitude (T.I.P.) koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/20… Ultimately, tipping is hard because it’s emotionally and cognitively complicated and fatiguing.
