many activities until now. The goal is to have the best globalized change agent.

It influences Dongduk Women’s University for opening local regular meeting

and active interchange with foreign local committees. Since 2009, AIESEC DWU is running global

community development program called ABC project which gives hope and dreams to children

ABC project is the abbreviation for AIESEC

Brightens Children's dream that helps children

in local residents with music, art, physical

education and cultural classes. It has been 4

years already the program was established

INTERVIEW WITH LCP 13-14TERM

What motivated you to go for DWU

LCP?

I really liked AIESEC when I was 1st year

member and thought that there were unlimited

possibilities and opportunities. However, I

thought out local committee was not taking after

the good side of AIESEC that much. Thus, I

wanted to create and make real global AIESEC

and applied for the position. You really have to

try your best and I also thought that if I become

LCP(Local Committee President), I would develop

my potential talent within me and I expected a

lot of things.

What are the difficulties you faced

while being DWU’s LCP?

There were some times when I had troubles with

my local committee executive board members.

We had some different opinions and could not

persuade each other sometimes. It made me be

exhausted, but I am sure that you improve

things when you try to harmonize these different

ideas.

In my case, I went through hard times in the

beginning of the term. One example is that to

run the meeting with executive board members

effectively was difficult. As I already mentioned,

there were people with different opinions and

ideas with one topic. This was not time for all

people to speak at once, but there were a lot of

opinions from members and my role was to deal

all with that. In the beginning, I try to stop them

in the middle while they were talking and I felt

really sorry for them. They were also not happy

with my behavior. However, if I did not keep

track of time, then we all had to go home late.

In this case, they also scolded me for not

stopping their conversation.

What are the things you learned or

improved by playing the role of LCP?

What I improved mostly is that I am not

confident when speaking in public. When I was a

freshman, whenever I had to do presentations, I

was almost moaning, but it is much better now.

Another thing is that I found out what are my

weaknesses.

One last word for future AIESECers

and non-AIESECers!!

You cannot become a global leader by not

doing anything in AIESEC. One has to search for

opportunities and create one’s own AIESEC

career. If one does not do that, there is no

difference between being part of AIESEC and not

being part of it.

download in google play, apple users download in apple app store, blackberry user download in

app world, windows phone user download at market place and all of us can use Kakao talk PC

version with our own computers.

Presently, people of all ages, almost Korean

increase all over the world. The results of

adding domestic user number and foreign

user number, 10~30 million and more over 40

million people are using this application. The

number of messages going back and forth by

Kakao talk was over 1 billion.

The kakao talk has various functions.

First, the group conversation is one of them.

The message is commonly one-on-one talking,

but Kakao enables people to talk with many

people. Furthermore, we can use ‘group call’

function.

Second, the function it has is sharing things.

We can share pictures, videos, voicemails,

contact number, schedule, location, and make

votes. We can use ‘notice function’ above

screen in order for every person to see it.

Fourth, they have cute emoticon function.

The item stores provide them freely or

charged.

Fifth is Gifticon system. We don’t have to

buy gifts by going to the stores and meet the

person who we give that to. We can buy gifts

through Gifticon function. For example, if I

want to give a birthday cake to my friend, I

only have to choose cake type and pay it on

Kakao system. Then, cake coupon is

automatically sent to my friend, he or she will

go to the bakery and exchange cake with the

coupon I sent him or her.

Kakao talk is very useful and convenient!

Kakao talk’s value is more and more increasing

not only in domestic markets but also foreign

markets. We are expecting that Kakao talk will

be the leading SNS tool like Facebook or

Twitter

Korea's delivery culture is really fantastic. Delivery is available

for food, furniture, electronic goods, etc. Just for free! Delivery

is one of the service sectors in Korea. For food, motorcycle is

the main vehicle. If you come to Korea, you can see many

motorcycles in a row in front of the shops and they use

whether disposable dishes or visit one more time to get back

the plates.

< EVERYDAY DELIVERY >

In Korea, the delivery booklet is issued monthly. It has the

place's delivery information like price, food type and consists of

shops and discount coupons. If you are starving, just open this

booklet. You can see anything you want eat. The good thing

about this booklet is that you can compare prices and foods

you want to have in the middle of the night. Lately the smart

phone apps like '24 hour delivery', 'our village delivery shops'

are popular.

< HAN RIVER CHICKEN >

Anyone living in Seoul does this experience at least once.

Eating chicken in the Han river park! It is normal for friends or

lovers to eat chicken and talk quietly in the Han river park. The

reason why this is possible is that delivery system is well

structured in Korea. Having chicken with the Han river's cool

breeze is awesome!

< MOVING IN DAY >

One of the Korea's unique custom is delivering black-bean-

sauce-noodles on a moving day. The host prepares Chinese

food - jjamppong, sweet and sour pork, black-bean-sauce-

noodle for the helpers. Surprisingly the food is prepared and

people put newspapers around the floor and have their meals.

This can be done for the house is not settled yet. The

atmosphere might be a little messy but the food you have after

sweating will taste great.

“ Happy New Year”

14

Chinese New Year

The story of “Year” monster:

Once upon a time, there was a beast called “Year”. It was

prisoned by the gods in the deep valley. Only once in a year the

beast can have freedom and hanging around. But at the

meantime, “Year” will do great harm to the people and the

livestock in the village. Everyone is afraid of this cruel monster

and don’t know what to do.

But one year, miracle happens! “Year” got out as usual, ready

to get wild and mad. Suddenly, after it saw a piece of red fabric

hanging in front of the house. “Year” stormed out of the village

in fear! People found out that it is afraid of the color red. Also,

people knew that “Year”is terrified when they set off the

firecracker. This is why people will paste the spring festival couplets

and play the firecrackers. Years by years, this is the Taiwanese-style

to celebrate New Year

The customs during the Chinese New Year:

General cleaning: People will start to have general cleaning

before the spring festival, symbolizing sweeping the bad luck

away. [Attention: When it is the first day of the New Year,

sweeping or dusting should not be done on New Year's Day for

fear that good fortune will be swept away

Family reunion dinner: The last day in one year, family in

Taiwan will get together and have reunion dinner. [Attention: All

the dishes can be eaten except the fish, because it means that

remain money and gold in the rest of the year.

Red envelope: When the Chinese New Year, the elder will give

the young red envelope which is included some money. It

symbols the goodwill the elder wishes to the young

Korea's hotplace, jjimgilbang

If foreigners visit Korea, jjimgilbang is good place to visit

and experience. Most Koreans visit jjimgilbang with friends,

family, and lovers. Jjimgilbang is the kind of resting area where

people go on weekends or holidays. If you take a trip to other

places, jjimgilbang is likely to be recommended than hotel

because it is much cheaper. Then what is jjimgilbnag

specifically?

In the past, Korea had a heating system called

Ondol. Ondol's principle is that the heat from

burning firewood passes through the room's

floor. The kitchen where fire was used was

connected with rooms so the heat's effect

could possibly last continuously. These Ondol

culture is transformed into jjimgilbang.

Jjimgilbang has lots of theme rooms like ice

room, amethyst room, ocher room, salt room,

high temperature room etc. Each room has

different temperature and concepts. Thus, you

can go around the rooms as you want.

16

There is a food court and snack bar in

the jjimgilbang. Popular foods in

jjimgilbang are sikhye, steamed egg, red

bean sherbet. Sikhye is korea's traditional

sweet beverage. The main ingredient is

rice. The red bean sherbet is made of

ground ice, red bean soaked in sugar

with little pieces of rice cake. Steamed

egg is cooked in a high temperature

room. Unusually the steamed egg's color

is brown not white. In addition, ramen,

dry squid, all kinds of snacks are

available there. Also there is lots of

relaxing area like massage shops, pc

rooms, and mini-cinema.

There is a sauna within the jjimgilbang. It is normal to take sauna after sweating from

jjimgilbang. Sauna is indoor mini spa. Naked people can enjoy various bath types - hot bath, cool

bath, herb bath, boiling bath, event bath etc. Foreigners feel awkward about sauna culture that all

people take off their clothes and take shower together. However, it is natural to Koreans so you

don't have to be aware of other people or be ashamed.

Korea's unique complex cultural space, jjimgilbang! In cold winter, how about relaxing your

tensed body at jjimgilbang? After sweating in hot rooms, taking shower and jumping off the door,

the cool air blows for you!
