CRITICAL VOICE TO CHANGE THE WORLD LETTER Time To Change This is the first 'The Sookmyung Times' of 2021. An unimaginable year has passed, and a new year has begun. How are you planning on spending the school year? Will you be complacent and go along with the status quo or will you show some fresh innovation? Personally, I would love to stay in the previous year. We might not be able to look ahead this year again, and everything that we planned might be wasted. We might be struggling through difficulties that we would have never imagined. But we can't live in the past. Change always comes unexpectedly. This year, I began the year as new editor-in-chief of The Sookmyung Times. I am neither good at writing nor a talented writer, but I accepted the position because I wanted to push through the struggles and see my new potential through change. Although this issue is my first as editor-in-chief, I will try hard to make The Sookmyung Times excellent. I promise to be more responsible and careful, which will require a lot of effort on my part. These changes are the kind of effort and development I will go through until the end of this year. Sookmyungians, I guess you will also experience a number of changes over the year. While the changes may be unfamiliar and awkward, our lives will continue and there will be a continual series of new changes. It is only through progress towards a new tomorrow that we will grow accustomed to change. I hope change and the drive to face change are the driving forces for you this year. Find the year,a year of challenge, a year of overcoming limitations, and a year that moves you forward in life. "Make your Change by yourself. Change does not happen on its own."

For example, a musician delivers their story through the lyrics of a song and a novelist delivers their story through the written word. There are even those that communicate with others through drawings. The drawings of characters and stories deliver something to others and make them sense various emotions. SMT interviewed cartoon artist Lee Dawoon, who bestows a variety of emotions onto people looking at her cartoons that depict daily life and travel stories.

When I first started, I had to take up extra jobs such as working part-time at a café. I had a hard time earning a decent income just from those part-time jobs and having no sense of belonging, so I often thought about employment. Reflecting on things now, there was no need to be so impatient. I'm not sure why I was so afraid of everything at that time. Then, how did you overcome your currently has 186 episodes on the hardship? each next episode.
