MANNAM! Let’s be the the person who shines like 반짝반짝(ban-jjak ban-jjak)

MANNAM! Let’s be the the person who shines like 반짝반짝(ban-jjak ban-jjak)

How about learning Korean mimetic words today?
There are lots of pretty, funny and cute Korean mimetic words.
Korean use these words a lot when they describe a situation.
I will give you a sentence and guess what these words means.
Don’t care about every meaning of the word in the sentence and see how these mimetic words work.

#모든 나라가 티격태격 싸우지 않고 서로 오순도순, 싱글벙글 웃으며 살았으면 좋겠어요.

#(mo-duen  na-ra-ga  ti-geuk-tae-geuk ssa-u-ji  ant-go  seo-lo   o-seun-do-seun, sing-gul-beong-bul ut-eu-meo  sal-at-eu-meon jot-gaet-eo-yo)

#[I hope all the country live without fighting 티격태격(squabble) and everybody live 오순도순(happily together) and smile 싱글벙글(delightedly)]

This is just an example of a sentence using these words, but also, it includes my wish!
From the beginning of the time when there were people living together, there were fighting.
It might be inevitable thing in the world where people live together, but is it really inescapable?
There wasn’t a period that there wasn’t any fight, but we can make the first, new period that there is no fighting in the world!
I know it is not an easy thing to achieve it, because even though there were many people who tried to make WORLD PEACE, it hasn't achieved yet.
I'm not ignoring those efforts, but saying it is hard to achieve it only with a few people.
However, how about we, MANNAM, being the first one to make WORLD PEACE?
Isn’t it valuable thing to do in our life?
It is not just impossible thing because WE are the people living in the world and WE are the one who can make changes. Who do you think can think of this if we don’t?
Like the sentence above, let’s stop 티격태격(squabble), and live like a one huge family smiling 싱글벙글(delightedly).
If there is a PEACE, people will live 알콩달콩 and 오순도순.
So, who can do this? We, MANNAM international members, who has a light, shines a twinkle(반짝반짝) star.
