BONEY M.'s 80s smash hit, Sunny, fills the theater. Vivid colors and polka-dots fill the screen. As the girl sneaks at a boy with Richard Sanderson's "Reality" flowing in the background, obviously parodying the 80s French classic, La Boum, the audience recalls fond momories. This is something frequently seen in the recently released film, Sunny, which swept the box office, reaching a total viewer count of over 8 million.

THIS MAY, blue waves filled the amphitheater, solemnly singing Yonsei's most beloved cheer song, "Prologue (Seoshi)." Yun Dong-ju ('38, Dept. of Korean Language & Lit.) is by all means one of Yonsei's proudest alumni, and at the same time, Korea's national poet. For Koreans, Yun's poems are more than familiar-we've heard them on the bedside, we've learned them through exams. But how many Yonseians know that his memorial hall is on campus? How many have taken the time to truly savor his poems, line by line?

QUEER. NOVEL. Mind-blowing. Seductive. Dignified. These are all words synonymous with two striking musical figures, Serge Gainsbourg and Freddie Mercury. Known as "modern legends" of the music scene, both led loud and dramatic lives, in perfect accompaniment to their music.

THE FOUNDER of the Seiyon.net, Yonsei's most used online community, has a rather cozy online nickname: Seiyonmom.

This month, *The Yonsei Annals* met two of those founders, Kim Jun-mo (left) and Lee Sang-yun (right) (Sr., Dept. of Electrical & Electronic Engin.). Here is what they have to say about the community that they have grown.

JOHN TRAVOLTA, hair greased slick, dancing in a leather jacket to the old tunes. Julie Andrews and seven kids singing the "Do Re Mi Song."

ONCE A week, Kim gasps as he climbs up the hideous slope towards the auditorium. He barely manages to grab the closing door of the hall, finds his seat, and shortly after, the hymn slowly turns into his lullaby. As Yonsei requires students to attend Chapel for four semesters, Chapel is an essential part a Yonseian's life. However, the participation rate for Chapel is often poor and numerous students fail to pass Chapel. Some students say the Chapel requirement involves forcing a certain religion on students, and others say changes should be made to attract students. How do Yonseians feel about this controversial issue?
