How well do you know about your future, Body-wise?

Some senior citizens or even mid-aged people might believe or feel that their bodies have been overused, maltreated, and have no bright future in store for them. In a nutshell, they are stuck in their own belief that fete is over for them. Would you agree on their gloomy mindset? Well, I beg to differ.

With the incredibly advanced developments in the field of medicine and pharmaceutical Sciences, we can predict and prevent the potential disorder or illnesses that would be likely to occur in our bodies. According to Dr. Joohan Kim (from Seoul National University in South Korea), Biomedical and Health Informatics (BMHI) makes it possible for your body to be meticulously analyzed in advance, which reveals strengths and weaknesses of your DNA. This remarkable approach in the medical field is more about the quality of life rather than lengthening life span. In other words, this advanced medical strategy and tactic would help us – who could have somewhat dreary picture of our own health and future – stay positively in good shape. Not an uptalk of something plausible, but an active means of living better for the rest of our lives. I am already seeing quite a few people around sending their hair to local hospitals to find out if they are on the right track health wise.

One major concern with BMHI could be the possibility of abusive uses of the technology. What if employers secretly screen the potential employees’ DNA and give favor to the ones with superior(?) DNA? How about the colleges and universities taking advantage of leaked DNA information of their applicants?
As long as BMHI is used with its righteous goal, the rest of our lives would look bright, because the more accurate we know about ourselves, the better tomorrow can we expect. I believe that living one’s life in the best physical state, actively doing the parkour through and around nasty corners and avoiding obstacles, is not an impalpable fairy tale anymore.

On the Day of the New Beginning of My Home Country

  Opening the Door to My Strong Home Country by Jean Jiyoung Lee June 3 rd 2025   Let your long-lost inner light shine Wake up and stay woke from dark torpor Prayers for those in pain are yours and mine Heart-wrenching memories will stay where they were It will be all right to find yourself supine As long as you get up and go tomorrow as a warrior Pat on your back and be on cloud nine The wintry chill in the past would rather feel like warmer When upslopes batter your spirits down, just say you’ll be fine As you feel connected to your strength, curveballs are no longer a torture Now laugh out loud and give a smile so divine The moon rabbits would greet you back in your dreams tonight with rice cake from their mortar Blessing is another word for fine The bitter past was only a blessing in disguise ‘cause your new era will be a perfect restorer Raise your glass of wine Time to live your life on the solid anchor
