Hometown: The place I lived longest is Nowon at the far right side on the northern part of Seoul.. 3rd last station from the last stop of Line 4.



02. How would you describe yourself as an object?

Cloud -- they swim around in a crystal clear sea-like sky and take thousands of forms. I love clouds because they are high up, liberally express their shapes, and you can just feel the freshness, elegance, magnificence, beauty.. I'd like to think I am like a cloud because I liked them since I was young? It is said that you get to be alike the target you admire~

Oh, and I also talk a lot of gibberish~ keke;
(The direct translation of Jung-gil's last sentence would be "talk of catching a cloud", which is a common Korean phrase that describes talk of gibberish or something unrealistic.)



03. Reason for joining this Guckkasten club?

I am a member



04. Guckkasten’s music is ( Abraxas ).
< Finish the sentence; e.g. perverted >



05. Your favorite music style? and musicians?

I like everything that shows a musician's own style. Irrespective of genre, from old music to today's music.

If I must say so, I very much respect Nirvana and Radiohead, and these days I am suddenly into "Pretty handsome awkward" by "The Used"~!!!

I even bought music for mini-home~!!^_^
(Cyworld provided each users 'mini-home', a personal homepage for each user. The users paid a small sum of cyber-money to buy items and music source.)



06. Your favorite paintings or artists? and reason?

I do not take much interest in paintings, but Van Gogh just comes to mind whenever an artist is mentioned. Gribouill has a biography on Van Gogh, and I am reminded of this because I like his passion, his will, and his charisma on expression that even overcomes fear of death. The funny thing is, although I know nothing about art, I can feel his paintings are extraordinary and that they are powerful!!

I realized that on art and creativity, the artist's mind is more important than expression techniques. The mind is the fundamental, and expression technique will nourish on this basis. If there is a mind to express something ardently, a masterpiece will be made through many trials and errors.

Van Gogh was able to create artworks like '14 Sunflowers' and 'The Starry Night' after countless trials and errors.



07. Your favorite book? and reason?

'Demian' by Hermann Hesse. My teenage years were a lot like that of Sinclair's. No, really, I though the writer was talking about me.

Carpe diem.

A blind sacrifice.

A being that carries a fate of having to be Dionysus-like..

12. Does equality exist in this world?
       
Equality exists. But even with just a small percentage, the weight of anger and hatred coming from inequality are greater than the happiness from equality.

But the ironical thing is, such anger and hatred can fuel one's rocket to happiness. Hmm...



13. The most curious thing in the world?
