“Busan is good”
-Yang Yeong Sim-
As a cultural commentator, I am so glad to have the city’s new slogan, “Busan is good.” Each letter in the word “good” stands for the city's charms. G for global, O for original, O for open, and D for dynamic. I always explain the new slogan and its meaning to my foreign customers and every time, I get great responses.
“Let bygones be bygones.”
-Lee Seung Gu-
It means, “Let's leave the unpleasantness between us in the past and move forward.” It has been on my mind since I heard it in a movie.
“This too shall pass.”
-Eo Hye Chong-
I think it sends a very important message in hard times, like now. I always tell this phrase to people around me because I hope they keep living their lives even if they are experiencing hard times. I sometimes speak this phrase to myself to soothe and comfort me.
