The story of how I met my photographer is one of the strangest thing ever. We actually met on a language exchange application. Actually I have many Korean friends, however they are so busy that it is really hard to talk to them or to practise the language with them. So at that moment in time, I just thought of finding a new friend to talk to, to practise the Korean language.
To be honest, I have been studying Korean language for about 10 years now. However, I am too busy to focus on studying of the language so my progress has been pretty stagnant or growth is a little slow. In 2017, when I quit my full-time job I flew off to Korea and stayed there for 3 months (the reason was I wanted to experience living on my own and also a chance for me to improve my Korean). Then, my Korean language did develop or grew in a way because I was thrown into a situation that forced me to speak the language, do or die. Mind you, this point of time I have yet to meet this person.
So when I came back, I did not practise the language and my skills were slipping away. So I decided to download a language exchange application and he was actually the one who messaged me first. To be honest, it is not easy to find a proper friendship online. Usually when you chat with a person online, it only lasts for a few days the longest weeks. I have quite a few Korean friends who are more than friends to me now. More like family. These kinds of friendship are hard to come by.
For this man here, even though I have known him for less than 2 years. We are very close. He has helped me a lot and I’d like to think that I have helped him a lot too. He is truly a talented person, even though he can be quite quick tempered LOL. Here’s to more photography sessions with him ^^ 헤이~ 지금까지 정말 고마워용. 많이 도와줘서도 고마워용. 사실 난 니실력 필요해…ㅋㅋㅋ빨리 여기와~ 그리구…나 사실 열심히하고 있어서 날 포기하지마 . 그냥 시간 좀 필요해 to improve my skill. 미안해내 실력 아직 많이 부족해서 너 필요해. 암튼 우리 화이팅!!!
