Woooooh~! The last time I wrote a blog post was in 2023 March – almost one year ago, right after the ASP Distinguished lecture series.

Then, my entire body and mind was buried by the busy schedule of everyday work, which… Read more: The Changing Energy for 2024 - ASP – Distinguished Lecture Series

“Spoiler alert”: This movie is about family reunion and reconciliation, living along with our environment, and finding our true nature, instead of being defined, or constrained by the legacy of our father’s generations. Three generation The conflicts and reconciliations among the three generations of the Clade family build the core theme throughout the story. The… Read more: Strange World is a good movie – in a metaphorical way - Arirang & Beethoven No. 7
A combination of an epic classical symphony by Beethoven and the Korean folk song “Arirang” – the mixture of both can clearly demonstrate music’s power to transcendent across borders, languages, races, and every other difference on earth, through which we – human beings – reach a harmonic unification. I attended a free concert today by… Read more: Arirang & Beethoven No. 7 - What Motivates Me in An Academic Career?
The famous quote from John Muir – The mountains are calling and I must go. A typical academic career path would be like this – after 4-6 (or longer) years of Ph.D. training, fresh grads get into postdocs, and transitional positions, until finally apply and obtain a faculty position and achieve tenure.

Here, humans have encountered two absurd situations, is the nature so indifferent to our human beings when it shows its fierce and ruthless appearance or is the nature so overwhelmingly manipulated by us and we are simply having a “ taste of own medicine”. This post will examine a unique position – where do human stand in the “beloved” Mother Nature? - Fire of Love – finite human lifes pursuing infinite love
(Spoiler Alert) This post contains review and discussion about the movie – Fire of Love – a documentary by the National Geographic. It is with greatest thrills and astonishes I am trying to write down my feeling and thoughts. This movie is consisted of thousands of first-handed, closely-recorded photos, videos, journals and interviews, revealing the… Read more: Fire of Love – finite human lifes pursuing infinite love
