Hi, my name is Yeonjun Ian Choi.
I live in Seoul, Korea.
I'm attending a university. I major in science of public administration, but it's gonna be changed to psychology.
I'm clumsy to speak English, so I'm learning. You may feel quiet, but I'm trying. And I think It's not too impossible to communicate each other.

Hope to know you and let you know me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to share things about everything, for example, history, philosophy, art, think, culture, whatever, with yours all around world.
It's gonna be awesome to play in here or there. I know it is hard to travel the other country. I think maybe this 'couchsurfing' can be helpful for trip. I expect we can fill our time with new, heart fluttering, and fascinating stories.

Interests

I enjoy reading a book, watching movie or seeing art galleries.

I'm into philosophy, aesthetics, psychology, sociology and film.

Especially I love film. Well, you may know the Korean director, Kim Ki-duk, Hong Sang-su. Actually, in Korea, others, like Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, are more popular than them.

I think, if we come face to face, we are gonna talk about a lot of things like life, culture, art and film.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books:
Demian written by Hermann Hesse is one of the books that I love. And other things ,The Unbearable Lightness of Being written by Milan Kundera, Essays in Love written by Alain de Botton and L'ETRANGER written by Albert Camus are remain in my memory.

Moives:
I love many movie directors.
Jean-Luc Godard who made À bout de souffle, Leos Carax who made Les amants du Pont-Neuf and Holy motors, kar-wai wong who made Fa yeung nin wa, Christopher Nolan who made Inception and Interstellar, Steve Mcqueen who made Hunger and Shame, Xavier Dolan who made Laurence Anyways and Mommy are them. And Especially form a attachment for the Korean directors, Chan-wook Park, Joon-ho Bong, Ki-duc Kim.

Music:
I enjoy listening hip-hop. Especially Korean hip-hop. Unfortunately it is too hard to follow the lyrics in English. I like the MC, Beenzino, Epik High, Dynamic Duo and Drunken Tiger. I love their lyrics. And I'm interested in Jazz. But I don't know well. I really wanna get closer to jazz, so I'm trying to feel the attractive music. Occasionally I fall in classic music. Then I listen to Bach, Chopin, Paganini and Tchaikovsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a film. Well, it is too shoddy to say this is a film. But if we think all the stream of images can be a film, I made a film, 25-minute film. It was amazing experience. I felt my lowliness. But it made me think about art and film more practically and earnestly. Maybe I'm gonna try to make something because of the feeling experienced at that time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Korean. We can share thoughts, experience and culture.
