Society) A Witch Hunt on the internet



Nowadays,  Many celebrities are suffered from "witch hunt" in Korea.
Witch hunt means that many people push someone who have had a mistake into the corner. 


The origin of witch hunt is from the middle ages in Europe. When the whole country is plunged in confusion because of infectious disease and religion, authorities announced people to kill witches who caused confusion. Although there had no witches, authorities put the blame to many people because they wanted to win popularity using it. In other words, this word is used as situation that a group victimize someone to cover up bad things.


Nowadays, this word is used in the cyber society. At the first, witch hunt of celebrities is usually used to cover up politician's big issues. Therefore, if some politicians have had a big problem, they have issued big gossip of celebrities and tried to attract people's eyes to celebrities. That is, celebrities are victimized.  it is still using to cover up political problems.  


A modified witch hunt appear in modern cyber society. The suspects are netizens, who write their comment on the internet. this modified one is targeted not only celebrities but also citizen. If someone do a mistake or have a misunderstanding situation, netizens are starting to put them into the corner blindly. The problem is that some netizens don't know the reasons, but they do attack because of fun and mob. As a result, many people who are targeted suicide or suffered from them more and more.


Today, one celebrity in Korea suicide because of witch hunter. (she have already had a bipolar)  It is already many times happened, but netizens do not realized that they aroused this situation. They should realize that their comments for fun can make people die and give them hurts.
Please don't judge other people easily and talk about that. Don't judge person after listening to one side of the story and have a comment and make a mob.

Place) Skydiving

Hi, how are you everyone :)

As you know, today is mother's day.
Because I live in homestay, I bought flowers for my homestay mom. Also, I send flowers to my parents  and had a good time on the skype keke.
I miss them so much and always appriciate that they allow me to come here for my English and memories!! 
Let's say "Thank you" to mom today ;-D



Today, I'd like to introduce "Skydiving". 
I went skydiving this weekend, and it was one of the best moment in my life.
Most of people afraid  and hesitate to try it like i did. I have had even fear of height and sometimes have felt dizzy when I go high building. My friends wanted to do skydiving and ask me go together.
At first time, I hesitated to try skidiving because of fear of height and safety. However I decided to try it because nowadays I have wandered and thought a lot about my ego, so I wanted to do brave challenge.



I did skydiving at SKYDIVE ELSINORE.
It takes 1 hour from UCR  extension.







As you can see, there have one instructor and one camera man for first jumper. Most of people choose this "Tandem package" including video. 

Tandem special : $189
+Video&Photos: $279

It is not that cheap price, but valuable!
And from second time, it cost cheaper and cheaper.



This is me when i was flying on the sky. The weather was nice and condition was also good!! 



Can you see how am i happy? I felt a sense of accomplishment. It haven't felt this feeling before.
After i did, I felt i can do everything whatever it is hard or not.
That's the why I recommand this challenge XD

I hope you guys try this someday !
