The tweet translates to: "How can we create a society where everyone can work with dignity and pride? We will explore this through two books: Che Sung-woon’s 'We Want to Work but Can't' and the Kyunghyang Shinmun Gender Project Team's 'It's Not That We Haven't Worked Just Because We Don't Have Business Cards.' A discussion featuring Sonoko Osanai, Seungmi, and Yoon I-gyeong! More details here: unite-books.com/event"

Che Seong-un's "We Want to Work but Can't" is a book that clearly illustrates the difficulties faced by highly educated women in South Korea in balancing childbirth, childcare, and work. It seems that there are few opportunities to return to stable, regular employment after giving birth, and many mothers become involved in the intense competition of their children's entrance exams. There appear to be many common issues with Japan as well. The support system in Sweden was very informative. #FinishedReading

"I'm watching 'Monster' (2021). It's a heavy, dark, and incredibly tense suspense film. I feel like I might forget to breathe and struggle to maintain my concentration. The cast is full of talented actors: Shin Hakyun, Yoo Jingu, Choi Tehun, Choi Seongun, Kim Shinrok, and Choi Jino, making it very engaging. However, it's generally serious, so I have to really push myself to watch it... (I finished voting yesterday)."

#Gentleman #WantToConnectWithMovieLovers I was completely fooled by the con game. Joo Ji-hoon and the dog are always cute. Park Sung-woong really suits a bad guy role. The crazy woman from the audit department, Chae Sung-eun, is also charming. Some people might get left behind by the timeline and intricate foreshadowing. The car flip at the beginning is stylish and interesting. I hope it becomes a series. pic.x.com/rST4dgf9Mt
