THE FOUNDER of the Seiyon.net, Yonsei's most used online community, has a rather cozy online nickname: Seiyonmom. Or should we say founder"s," since Seiyonmom is not a single person but a group of six members? 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.

WHAT POPS into your mind when you think of NASA? Maybe you think of perfectly immaculate laboratories filled with geeky scientists like Sheldon and Leonard from the sitcom *Big Bang Theory*. Or maybe you think of a place where you can see aliens like Drew Barrymore did in *E.T.* This month *The Yonsei Annals* had a chance to meet Shin Jai-won (’78, Dept. of Mech. Engin.), a significant figure at NASA. As an Associate Administer for the Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate, the third highest position in the agency, Shin manages the airspace system in the United States.

THERE IS nothing better than watching TV shows on weekends aftera long, weary week of work. Laid back on a sofa with some snacks inone hand and the remote control in the other, fatigue melts away witha good laugh. However, there are some people who cannot fully enjoy theseentertaining TV shows on weekends - those who make them. Especially forNah Yung-suk ('94, Dept. of Public Admin.), the producer of "One Night,Two Days," every Sunday is nerve-wracking as he waits for the public'sreaction of the 80-minute piece in which he had poured all his energy overthe past week. Loved by people of all ages, and having the highest viewerratings among current variety shows, the program earned him great fame andhonor. However, behind the success, there was more to how he has made itup to this point.

Surrounded by several janggu* and kkwaenggwari* rolling around on the floor, Park modestly unravels her story, explaining her passion of the last five years.

WHEN DO you doze off in class? When you are tired from the all-nighter you just pulled off? When the professor is murmuring? When the text material is so boring that your brain cannot help taking some rest? But you rarely doze off when professors are cracking some sharp-witted jokes, do you? Such is the power of humor; it keeps you focused, it keeps the communication between student and lecturer intact. But good humor is not just used to prevent sleep. According to Kim Jin-bae (’86, Dept. of Theology), it can change our lives completely.

THERE ARE many great basketball players out there, but there is only one who has been named “national treasure.” Seo Jang-hoon(’93, Dept. of Sports & Leisure Studies), currently a member of the Incheon ETLand Basketball Team, is the one whose role as a center is so amazing that people felt as though he should be protected as a “treasure.” During his more than 20 years of basketball life, he won over 13 prizes and recently broke the record and earned more than 10,000 points for the first time in Korean basketball history. Though his teammates who shared the glory of the past with him retiring now one by one, Seo is still shooting higher and higher.

As the national team received more attention throughout their games, Huh Jung-moo ('74, Dept. of Physical Education), the coach and director, naturally came under the spotlight. Huh started playing soccer after finishing middle school and has been a part of the soccer world as a player, coach, and trainer of the national team.
