Planning a Framework for a Unified Korea: Understanding "Proof of Location" Pt. 1


This article is the first part to a milestone in my thesis proposal research, where I go in depth with the real estate situation in North Korea. There are North Koreans that found loopholes to dealing in real estate despite the government owning the housing.

The Stigma that Forever Latches on to the General Public


This article highlights my anecdotal experiences on how my conversations about cryptocurrency and blockchain go with my acquaintances, siblings, and friends.

The Insanity that is K-Pop Scandals


This article discusses a topic that can be spread across many different categories and are slightly interpreted differently depending on the situation, but there is a common theme throughout all of them. Just because someone has either committed a crime in the past, or showed signs of controversial behavior, should they be stopped from promoting or denied opportunities from singing? It is generally understood that most people have made mistakes in their life, but Korean netizens have taken things very far, and will condemn kpop idols and celebrities over the most minuscule things.
