In recent times, South Koreans who traveled to Japan, wore Japanese apparel, or ate Japanese cuisine, could expect a stern rebuke from their neighbors, and they might hear the admonition: ¡®Did you really have to do it?¡¯ Around July 2019 banners like ¡®No Japan¡¯ and ¡®I¡¯m not going there, I¡¯m not buying it,¡¯ were displayed all over the country, and it showed that Koreans were intent on boycotting Japan. This boycott movement was the right thing to do for Koreans, and the result was a closure of some chain stores of a major Japanese retail company in several areas. | |

The film Parasite won four awards at this year¡¯s Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best International Feature Film. When I heard that a Korean film won the first Oscar, I watched the movie again. A closer look at the film ensured that the depictions and expressions that I missed the first time caught my eye. Also, the ability for director Bong Joon-ho to bring out the intended acting skills in the actors became even more impressive. | |

A few days ago, I watched ¡®I Met You¡¯, the virtual reality human documentary. This documentary is about a mother who lost her seven-year-old daughter, Nayeon to a rare and incurable disease. After four years of separation she was able to interact with a VR version of her daughter. Thus, before watching the documentary I was wondering how meeting her daughter, conjured up by VR technology, could possibly console her mother. Actually, ¡®virtual reality¡¯ and ¡®comfort¡¯ are not compatible at all. However, the mother was greatly consoled when she was finally able to meet the child. | |

Moreover, masks, hand sanitizer, and medicinal alcohol are chronically out of stock, and if you are fortunate enough to find some the prices are prohibitive in many parts of the country. The question that students and staff alike should ask is how should we deal with the highly infectious COVID-19 when school begins? | |
