[MANNAM] It's alive! 살아있네(sal-a-it-nae)~

[MANNAM] It's alive! 살아있네(sal-a-it-nae)~

Have you ever heard about this?

살아있네 살아있어 솨솨솨솨(sal-a-it-nae sal-a-it-eo swa-swa-swa-swa)

You can easily hear this buzz word everywhere.

It was originally the line from movie.

Then this line became popular from an entertainment program and spread to all of Korea.

This is a video about 살아있네 살아있어 솨솨솨솨(sal-a-it-nae sal-a-it-eo swa-swa-swa-swa)

Watch how they say this. there is a special rhythm for this:)

http://www.inven.co.kr/board/powerbbs.php?come_idx=2716&l=595989

Then what is this mean and when can we use it?

First, 살아있다(sal-a-it-da) means 'Alive'

살아있네(sal-a-it-nae) is a exclamation form of 살아있다(sal-a-it-da) and also, 살아있어(sal-a-it-eo) is a conversation form of 살아있다(sal-a-it-da).

So, this full sentence means 'It's alive!'

This phrase is used when something is active and good.

Not only physical but also the mind too.

If something is dead, it can't be done well.

Just like an object. For example, when phone is out of battery or not working we say phone is dead.

Then why is this word so popular among people?)

Koreans like something that's alive.

As you see in the sushi restaurant, Koreans prefer to have raw fish that's alive.

In addition, When person's mind is alive, they think more and get good results.

This is why Korean's like which is alive.

So, from now on, use this word whenever you see something is good like it's alive!

Lastly, then how can we be alive?

I have thought about this a lot of times.

All the people looks same on the outside, but among them, how can I be the person who really looks like, and live like it's alive?

I have solved this question through joining MANNAM.

By joining MANNAM, and doing volunteering works, I feel I am alive.

Why? Because I am alive, I can help others and through these works.

Therefore, I feel I am living in the world with others.

I think spending valuable time and make meaningful memories with others are one of the ways to be alive.

So, join MANNAM International Volunteer Association and ‘be alive’! 살아있네 살아있어(sal-a-it-nae sal-a-it-eo)

There is only one life for each of us! Don't you want to live like alive person?

Make yourself valuable and also helpful to others.

So, altogether, it means mountain of people and sea of people.

You can this situation of 인산인해(in-san-in-hae) on festivals or holidays.

However, not only for those kinds of fun things, what if lots of people gather to do volunteer work?

If MANNAM is 인산인해(in-san-in-hae) with lots of volunteers, then, won't it be impossible to achieve peace?

If we gather and share lights in us, that will be the one what we can make peace with.

By sharing lights, cultures, we can understand each other, then, there will be no reason to fight each other.

[MANNAM] North & South Korea, different language, same hope

[MANNAM] North & South Korea, different language, same hope

You know North and South Korea have same nationality.

Even now there is a line between us, we have same language, culture and ancestors.

However, since the Korean war, it has been already more than 60 years.

During that time, because of our different political system, we had different life styles.

As you experience in South Korea, it's more opened to other countries so that, here, there are not only pure Korean culture but also there are other various cultures coexisting.

On the other hand, because North Korea was not very opened to other countries, they still keep their own Korean culture.

With this different life styles, now, there are differences in North and South Korea.

Especially, today, I will introduce difference in languages.

In South Korea, people just use English word doughnut when we see a bread that has a hole in the meddle.

However, in North Korea, they call it 가락지빵(ga-rak-ji-bbang) which means ring bread.

가락지(ga-rak-ji) is a old word for ring and 빵(bbang) means bread.

The Korean famous noodle 라면(ra-myeon) is also in North Korea too.

However, they call it 꼬부랑 국수(ggo-bu-rang guk-su).

꼬부랑(ggo-bu-rang) is usually used to describe grandmothers who has bent back.

But as 라면(ra-myeon) has curl, they also call 라면(ra-myeon), 꼬부랑 국수(ggo-bu-rang guk-su)

Last, let's see how North Korean people call the Konglish word hand phone, 핸드폰(hand phone) in pure Korean.

They call it 손전화(son-jeon-hwa). 손(son) is hand and 전화(jeon-hwa) is phone.

A telephone that you can carry with your hand.

Like this, if South Korea use lots of word that has Chinese meanings and English word, North Korea use pure Korean words.

However, even we have difference in our language and cultures, our hope is not different.

Our hope is reunification and live peacefully with our separated family.

But it takes long time to do this if only Korea tries it.

We need your help to make peace in us.

It's not only Korean's problem, when Korea reunificate, the world is one step forward to peace.

So let's work together in MANNAM to get close to world peace.

Help us that there are no more differences in North and south Korea so that we can still communicate we families meet together.

MANNAM is a mountain 만남은 산과 같다(MANNAM-eun san-gwa got-da)

MANNAM is a mountain 만남은 산과 같다(MANNAM-eun san-gwa got-da)

On 6th of April, we went to the mountain for volunteer work.

As I mentioned on last article, because 5th of April was a tree planting day, we went there to plant and also to clean the mountain.

On that day, way to go up there, the view was awesome.

Although flowers weren't blossomed yet, lots of trees and some waterfalls were beautiful.

While I was on the mountain, I felt that MANNAM is like an mountain!

It's not just a whimsy thinking. Here are the reasons why I felt this way.

There are lots of different kinds of trees on the mountain.

As a one itself, it is just a tree. However, together, they make one big mountain.

Even though they are different, they stay together, and become strong that no one could remove them.

Whenever tsunami comes, they keep their position and withstand it.

When you see under the ground, you can see their roots are grabbing each other.

This is how trees stay together and survive the danger.

How about us? MANNAM International members?

We are all from different countries. We speak different languages, nationalities and religions.

However, in MANNAM, we stay together and make strong possibilities of world peace.

Others might think we are just a group of people, but inside, we work together and by sharing each light, cultures we can have the material for the world peace.

This is how we overcome the difference between us and achieve peace in the world.

So now, does MANNAM International looks like one big mountain?

I can see a MANNAM mountain with various colors shinning with the light.

However, we need more trees, the light to save the Earth from the war.

We need you to twinkle with us so that we can achieve the world peace with stronger light.

One light can be dark, but if we stand together, it will be bright enough to light up the world.

When you turn on the TV, the news about North Korea is the most thing you can see these days.

Also, not only on TV, people’s topic on lots of social media is about war between two Koreas.

When people talk about this, I feel sad more than fear. As you know, North Korea and South Korea is a family.

We speak same language, we share same culture, we have same history and so on.

What do you need more to prove? There are many people who’s family is in North Korea.

Even they are family, because of the 38th parallel, they can’t meet each other.

Separating family is the most cruel thing to do. What if it was you, who are on that situation?

The whole life will be spent missing them and hoping to meet them.

There used to be a meeting for long-lost families.

However, as the relation between North and South Korea got unsteady, the meeting for them has canceled.

Even though they can’t live together, their last hope to seeing each other in their life has gone.

Because it has been about 63 years since the war has broken out, most of the members of separated members are old.

They can’t wait 5 or 10 years to see them.

But the problem is, now, if the war breaks out, we should face each other to fight.

Please help us not to fight as a family.

I know it is not a proud thing to be on the news as this problem, but we need your help.

It’s not all of us who wants to fight. It’s some of the men’s bad ambition.

When the war breaks out, not only Korea will got harmed but also, the soldiers who are sent to Korea to help us will also get harmed.

I don’t, neither you don’t want this tragic to be happened in this world, right?

Through MANNAM, please shout WORLD PEACE with us and let’s stop this bad situation.

Will you help us? Only few of us can’t stop this, but if we gather our hope, I know we will achieve it.

All the people who are living on the world want WORLD PEACE, right?

Weather you are living in North, South, East, and West, we are all living in the same planet and we are one of the biggest family.

Let’s do not make loud voice between families.

 

In Korean, Korea is called ‘한국(han-guk)’.

But as we are separated in North and South Korea, we are called 북한(buk-han) North Korea and 남한(nam-han) South Korea.

Korea have three side of seas on each side.

One is East sea 동해(dong-hae), and another is West sea 서해(seo-hae), the other is South sea 남해(nam-hae).

(해(hae) is a word which has Chinese meaning of sea)

What comes into your mind when you think about spring?

It reminds me of a new start, warm aura, and growing up and etc.

in spring, because of lots of flowers, the image of spring is very bright.

However, a few days ago, I heard in the radio that, because most of the atmosphere is bright, on the other side, there are more people who are depressed deeply.

When the room is dark, we can flatter that every side of the room is bright.

However, as the room is bright, the dark side is darker than it used to be.

Same as this, we might feel spring is the season that everyone can start new thing and grow up but there are excluded people we forgot about.

They could be people who are harmed from the war and disaster or natural environment.

Living in the same planet means we care each other, right?

Let's share our warm and hopeful energy with those people.

So that not only a one side but all the side of the earth can be bright.

The material for this is your LIGHT!

Like the slogan of MANNAM, When Light meets Light there is Victory.

Share your light, your culture. By sharing, we can make world brighter than ever.

Today’s proverb is ‘콩 심은 데 콩 나고 팥 심은 데 팥 난다(cong sim-eun dae cong na-go pat sim-eun dae pat nan-da)’. It is similar to English proverb  ‘An onion will not produce a rose or As one sows, so shall he reap’.

No one expects something different than what they have plant.

It is an impossible thing except in the fairy tale.

However, when people face situation like this proverb, some people don’t understand it.

When people claim only their own opinion, they can’t negotiate, and it will cause argue.

On the contrary, when people try to understand each other and care others, it will make peace.

This is a situation of is ‘콩 심은 데 콩 나고 팥 심은 데 팥 난다(cong sim-eun dae cong na-go pat sim-eun dae pat nan-da)’.

We cannot expect peace being selfish. That is a greed.

If people really want peace in the world, we should work for it so that we can achieve world peace.

How? How about start from volunteering with MANNAM International?

 We gather and volunteer to plant seed of peace in the world.

Let’s make world brighter with the peace plants!

Why MANNAM International runs Korean class for free?

Why MANNAM International runs Korean class for free?

This might be the one of the most curious questions for all of you who know MANNAM.

Why do they run free Korean class?

It’s because we are volunteer group! We are just sharing the ability that we have. Ability doesn’t run down because we use it. It will improve rather than decrease.

Is it too obvious? You want something else, right?

Then, I will start from MANNAM’s history.

You know how MANNAM started and you know where Gangnam is. Nowadays in South Korea, Gangnam is known as rich town. Before Gangnam was famous for that, people who were not rich were living there.

However, because of the plan to make richest town, Gangnam, there, the people who were living there had been kicked out from there. It makes two antithetic groups to live next to each other. At this point, MANNAM’s chair woman Nam Hee Kim saw this and thought she should help them. She saw the people disregarded because of mammonism. This is how she started to volunteer. As this volunteer going on, many people gather to join this. Also, Gangnam mayor saw this and he promised to help MANNAM. Moreover, MANNAM’s honorary chairman Man Hee Lee heard this and he also start started to join MANNAM. With these people’s help, MANNAM could hold 54^th Memorial day events. On this day, MANNAM’s honorary chairman saw many foreigners joining this event and thought it will be good to work with foreigners too. So, from then, MANNAM made MANNAM International.

This is how MANNAM International has started.

Then, how about MANNAM International Korean class?

Man Hee Lee was a soldier at the Korean war. At the war, there weren’t just Koreans, there were also soldiers from other countries fighting for us. He was so thankful for them offering their life to fight for us. After that, at the mud festival in Boryeong, he saw many foreigners in Korea. He said those young men must have hard time living in Korea. Also, those young men are whom had fight for us long time ago. So, this is why he recommended about Korean class to help those who have language difficulties.

Not only Korean class, but also all the other MANNAM activities are from those mind set of sacrifice. Not selfishness but considerable thinking.

Also, for my case, when I was young, I have experience living in another country. Maybe, only the one who has experience will know how it feels like. Start from the difficulties in language, all of the little things were hard and stressful. In addition, being alone is the hardest thing that makes me tired. Because I know how hard it is to live in another country, I want to help others who are having hard time with this. At that time, my friend introduced me MANNAM and I started to join MANNAM and volunteer in MANNAM International Korean class. Even I might not be professional like other academies, I am trying my best to help others.

I hope, this MANNAM International spread to the world and make world peace through MANNAM.

역지사지 is the MANNAM Cultures

역지사지 is the MANNAM Cultures

Today’s proverb is 역지사지.

It has same meaning with an English proverb ‘Put yourself in my shoes’.

역 means to change, 지 means ground, 사 means to think and 지 means it.

All together, it means, think from the perspective of the other side and understand him/her.

I think this is a key for world peace.

If you think from the others perspective and try to understand them, it can avoid war.

Just thinking for yourself, you can choose the best choice for you.

However, when you think of others, you might have to change that best choice and have to make different decision.

It could look like making less benefit, but it is not.

It is a choice of saving lives.

By your considerable choice, you can prevent war.

The meaning of preventing war is saving a country, city, town and a family. The happiness from the people next to you.

This different thinking can change the world.

You might not feel that this is a serious thing.

But there are people who are very desperate about this.

They lost their family, friend and also their life.

If the leader had made different decision that cared about others, more life could be saved.

Not only the leader but all of us need this 역지사지 mind set in our heart.

Start this thinking with the people next you.

This will bring more smiles and peace in relationship.

Or, it will be also choice to practice.

How? With MANNAM International.

We are a volunteer association which tries to practice this 역지사지 mind set as an action.

Through volunteer works, we see the world from others’ perspective and we help them as their family or friend.

This is how we, MANNAM International make world peace through 역지사지 mind set.
