99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It is said that the grass is always greener

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
on the other side of the fence,

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and I believe this is true,

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
especially when I hear President Obama

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
often talk about Korean education system

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
as a benchmark of success.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well, I can tell you that,

12

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

my response to the high-pressure environment

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
found near my apartment building.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Why bows?

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
