Ever since I was young, I could not settle with being ordinary. I wanted to do something unique like become a professional drummer, and I lived each and every day challenging myself and working hard. Like a kaleidoscope, all of the memories of hardships and pleasant times I went through while founding BestFriend flashes by. As I turn another page of my life, I reflect on the turning points of my life.
Continuous Doubts
Ever since I was young, I always questioned the thoughts and values I’d been taught to believe as a Korean. I was curious about how people of different skin color and culture thought of these ideologies. Like the story “Alice in Wonderland,” I couldn’t help but to think that there must be places where people lived under a different set of rules, values, and beliefs.
Like most Korean men, I had to go through military service. After military service, I went back to university and studied for the TOEIC exam in order to get a good job after graduation, just like everyone else, without any real dreams or goals in life. I allowed myself to float away like an abandoned ship with no destination.
