Halloween tragedy in Korea 등에 대한 스몰톡

Q. What happened to Halloween in Korea?

Last saturday, there was a big tragedy and nightmare in Korea. Many young people were killed in a crowd surge. I can't believe this accident could happen in Korea. I mean I thought most things like the crowd stampede were only from overseas religious events. And Korea is known as a safe country and this accident was more shocking. Actually, Korean are very sensitive about safety accidents because of the ship sinkingthat killed hundreds of people a few years ago. All Korean had a very hard time then. It reminds me again. Even though all dead people have nothing to do with me, I still feel sad and even had a nightmare last night. That's why I'm reluctant to see the news or Youtube. It's because some videos have vivid and horrible scends in the field. I don't want to watch people die. 

Q. Were you ever blamed for something that you didn't do?

Yes, I was. I was scolded by my CEO because of my second boss's fault. Since then, I don't believe in anyone. It was a few years ago. Some unhappy accident happened in our office and I was investigated by the police. It wasn't what I did. My second boss did. But, my second boss kept silent. When he saw me got misunderstanding, he played dumb. I felt I wanted to spill the beans right away but I held it in. Anyway, things went well, there was no problem to me. Since then, I've decided not to be treated unfairly. I'm not going to put up with it any more and I'm going to fight.
