Final Finale (News+local problem)- Making the world a better place, What it meant to be a human

Korea, also called “a small giant that has the biggest heart,” lies in high status of the global world. Even though Korea has had limited voice on its history, its strong spirits forced Korea to be dynamic - for example; Korea is ranked 3^rd in the construction industry, 5th in nuclear power plant operations, 5th in the steel industry, 5th in the automotive industry, 1^st  in the display industry, 1^st in the shipbuilding industry, 1^st in the semi-conductor industry, and 10^th in world trade in the world. Not only does Korea have technological superiority, but also the attractive cultures of Korea give a fresh booster that enchants many foreigners. The three most impressive things about Korea to foreigners include:

First, Hot taste of tradition

What are some popular foods of Korea? Kimchi may be the first food that comes to your mind. Kimchi is the most well-beloved food by a lot of foreigners. Not only the taste of Kimchi is wildly spicy, but also Kimchi is well-known as one of the fermented foods. In that sense, Kimchi is getting to be a popular international food. Also, Bibimbap is one of the famous foods all over the world. The combination of fresh vegetables and spicy sauce gives entirely different taste of Korea to a lot of foreigners who are used to the taste of ketchup or hot sauce. Kimchi and Bibimbap are the most endemic foods in Korea. These foods can be representative of showing Korean pertinacious ethnicity that Koreans are always enthusiastic to be united in the way that ingredients are put together and make a better taste. The pungency of those foods conveys the traditional taste of hotness of Korea.

Second, K-pop and entertainment industry spreading throughout the world

If there is J-pop in Japan, there is K-pop in Korea! Dynamic, lyrically abundant and descriptive of modernized yet deeply ethnic ways, Korean pop culture (K-pop) has proved widely how much Korea has become global. Wherever you go, there may be many fanatical fans who are extremely into the Korean waves. TV shows, dramas, and actors have impressed a lot of foreigners all over the world with special attractions of Korea. Also, sport stars like Ji-sung Park in Manchester United FC and Yuna Kim in figure skating have definitely contributed to Korea becoming more global. By forming many participatory audition shows for foreigners, it’s not too much to describe Korea as a multi-ethnic 

country that is well-fitted in the global world.

Third, delicate tradition with colorful history

A lot of foreigners describe Korea as a country which has the strongest ethnicity. Unity was the only thing that they could get over crisis happening in Korea. For expressing their own voice, they had to be united without any forces. Against Japanese colonial rules, they held a candlelight vigil. Everyone’s little effort made enormous achievements for real democratization. Have you ever heard of Ganggangsulae (traditional Korean circle dance play) which is also registered as an Intangible World Heritage? It’s not just a dance you are thinking about. It was one of the things that the army raised in the cause of justice to show that Korea still had a lot of soldiers to fight. Their burning enthusiasm never knows to be stopped. Nothing can be compared to Korean tenacity. If you had never been to Korea, feel their fanatical eagerness during any soccer plays. You will feel their flying souls.

Even though Korea has a strong color of fascinating cultures, Korea is still like an unpolished leather shoe. Leather shoe stands for high quality of Korean cultures. Leather shoe is wonderful enough to be apparently gotten spotlights. The point is that Korea is like an unpolished leather shoe. What are some hindrances that make Korea be placed at the level of filling a bottomless vessel? There are mainly two obstacles that could be pointed out.

First of all, Korean hasn't been appointed by the global language despite Korean is 
pragmatically designed compared to other languages.

Korean is recognized as the most scientific language in the world by many linguists. Korea has already demonstrated the superiority in that Korean is a phonogram. Korean is a phonetic symbol which is noted by a sound of any words. The greatest characteristic of Korea is that it is definitely organized to derive phonetically the same, affiliated words by adding a stroke. Korean is one of the most unique languages all over the word since each character was created by modeling on the vocal organs. International linguists are absolutely inspired, admired thinking Korean should be the global language instead of English. English is pretty limited considering that there are bunch of words that can’t ever be directly translated to their own meaning.

It’s true that Korea is flying for the more civilized world. However, Korea is slightly cracked which can absolutely be a stumbling-block to influential progress. Like other countries placed in Asia, Koreans are seemingly tended to be racial or discriminatory. Nations all together make an image of Korea even from trivial matters. An image can be utterly affected to make a strong impression to foreigners who have been to Korea. Universal consciousness which can be well-fitted on the civilized world should necessarily be embedded in Korean’s perspective in every second.

A leather shoe can always be appreciated in its value with just very its being. Soaring Korea may reach to the sky someday as long as its endemic cultures are combined by greatest nations of Korea with their indomitable heart.
