Lee Jeeyoung: Reality is too unrelenting to let all the dreams come true. Nothing is guaranteed and it is hard to win what you want. Being powerless in the social structure, I feel like I am experiencing constant growing pain or belated adolescence. An individual may be an insignificant member in the whole society but he continues to survive infiits oppressive and cutthroat situations. I am confused by incomprehensible aspects of the society. I feel sympathetic about or discontented with people in the society. However, I am also part of them. The society obliges me to carry numerous roles and responsibilities but I feel so burdened. However, if life is a process of resolving these problems, I will do my best in my position like other people do. In this series, I reflect myself who performs on the present progressive stage and look into myself who is growing up in reaction to the society.
