HI~ guys. long time no see. Today, I’ll show you a documentary that I made. This documentary is about Starbucks’ best dessert menu.
our all team members chose their best menu and shared. And we carefully examined various factors like taste, texture, calories, and price. Finally, after a long discussion, we were able to choose best dessert.
In making documentary, my main role was filming. I’ve prepared some tools for shooting like tripod. I was worried because I couldn’t find a tripod that has proper height. But thanks to find a good location, I can solve my worry. It was hard, but enjoyable experience.
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy our documentary and try some dessert in starbucks. bye~~
Hi~ everyone. Today, I made a Vlog for the first time. I did it with JaeKyung.
We did canvas painting with DIY kits from artbox. you can get these items easily at artbox or daiso. you can learn how to DIY items through this Vlog.
This video include from buy kit to coloring it. If you have interest in DIY kits, you will enjoy this Vlog.
As mentioned at the beginning, It was my first Vlog and I strongly recommend you to make Vlog, too. The process of recording Vlog is very interesting. you can do what you wanted to do. Also, recording my daily life is also funny. And the editing process is much easier than I thought. With a little touch, the video change a lot. watching that video changes is also fun and proud.
I want to show our result of painting. In fact, I’ve missed few parts, but there is a pretty good paint.
The 52 working hours a week is an important issue in South Korea recently. The law, which, as its name suggests, limits the working hours of workers to up to 52 hours a week, has caused much controversy since the enactment of the bill, and as a result, it has been applied in earnest since April 2019 after a long grace period. More details can be found in the article below.
The biggest advantage that expected from 52 working hours a week is improving the quality of life. Recently, Work and life balance is big issue, the application of the bill will push the tide. Less working hours naturally increase free time. You can spend more time with your family or more time for yourself, such as self-improvement and hobby development.
The second advantage is more employment. Currently, many Korean workers work more than 52 hours a week. As seen in the image below, the percentage of workers who work more than 60 hours a week is 22.6%. It is more than four times higher than the OECD average of 5.6 percent.
If they can work only 52 hours a week, companies must solve the lack of working hours with more employment or hiring part-time jobs. It could be a good measure of rising unemployment.
The third is improving the efficiency of their work. People who work overtime everyday don’t work hard during regular work hours because they think they can’t leave work early anyway. However, if their working hours will be reduced by working hard and efficiently, the story is changed. To having less working time, people will work hard. Also, by improving the quality of workers’ lives, workers can work better.
Of course, this bill does not have only advantages. If it does, the bill would not have brought controversy even before its application. One of the possible problems is whether this bill can reduce quantity of work. Even if the work hours are reduced by force, the quantity of work remains the same, and the quality of life cannot improve. In addition, some companies already use tricks to avoid this bill by like working overtime outside the company. If this trick is not prevented, it will only increase informal work hours and improving the quality of life will be remote.
The second problem is the fall in wages. The decline in working hours leads to a fall in wages. This is not a big problem if worker is in large companies that pay enough. But what if it’s hard to live a decent life without overtime pay? they have to get another part-time job and eventually none of problem is solved.
The last problem is that some company don’t have a constant quantity of work. In that case of some IT or game company, they are sometimes very free, and sometimes very busy. It is hard for them to follow this bill. In busy season, they should be work more.
Despite these disadvantages, the 52 working hour a week should be applied. Korea is a country with a lot of work worldwide. Compared with countries of similar economic size, the gap is even bigger. Data on detailed working hours can be obtained from the OECD homepage below.
Of course, many working hours naturally have a bad effect on our lives. Koreans’ satisfaction with life is very low.
In the above data, we can see that working time of Korea in too much and it cause a lot of problems. It is one of the biggest social problems. Thus, even if there are some problems, the benefits of the bill will be greater. When the five-day work a week was applied, there was a lot of backlash. But it was eventually applied well.
And some expected problem can be overcome. In that case of tricks of company, government can prevent with strong observation. If company are caught using tricks, government can give them penalty.
Plus, there are many complements to support this bill. One of them is flexible working. flexible working is to have flexible start and finish times. Employee can work less when free, and work more when busy. There is a brief video to explain about that.
Of course, there will be some problems in the beginning. But we can solve these problems. And ultimately, It is a way of progress to the better society.
Hello, visitors to my blog. Everyone would be looking forward my new post, right? I know.
Recently, I had an interesting survey in my class. The survey was about travel style. As you know, many college students enjoy traveling these day. Especially, spring is best season to travel. So, I wanted to know what kinds of traveler other people are. Well-organized? Or impromptu?
According to my survey, 77.3% of people prefer to search restaurants on SNS or Google Map in advance. In the case of transportation, 86.4% of people are looking for public transportation in advance. And about booking airline ticket and shopping, people have a tendency to become well-organized traveler.
Overall, well-organized travelers are more than twice as impromptu traveler. Actually, I though there is more impromptu traveler because we can get information more easily by smartphone. So we can travel easily without having to investigate beforehand. But many people prepare more in advance through smartphone.
Hello, everyone. I come back!!! Today, I’ll introduce podcast I made with 서진 and 태현.
Looking for an interesting topic, we decided to talk about our school experience. We are all seniors, so we have experienced almost everything in college. Among them, We decided on the topic as many fantasy about college for those who have yet to come to college.
Many people think of college as a paradise where milk and honey flow. Maybe it’s because of their parents, teachers, or media… But as you know, reality is a little different. We will introduce the fantasy(especially about meeting, CC and classes) that high school students have and reality of the university.
In fact, We recorded this podcast for high school students who have yet to experience college life. But wouldn’t it be better if they didn’t know about it? I feel like I’m telling a little child, “No Santa.” It’s better that high school seniors after College Entrance Exam or college freshmen read, and they will be able to have a wise college life.
Don’t worry too much if the fantasy you had was destroyed after seeing this podcast. I will return to the sweet stories in college next time to heal your wounds… If there is next time.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy our podcast. Here is the link
