"GOOD MORNING, my honor. I will tell you today's schedule. At 10 a.m, you will meet the Prince of Monaco. At 3 p.m, you must bring glory to the World Jewelry Exhibition through participating in it. At 5 p.m, you have to take the measurements of your clothes for Andre Kim's fashion show…" Once in a life time, don't you want to be a prince or princess? They can do whatever they want! For September's Enquete, The Yonsei Annals asked 100 Yonseians about everyone's desirable topic, "If I could be a prince or princess."

   
   Now, you are a prince or princess! What do you want to do first? To inquire this to Yonseians, the Annals asked What are you going to do first if you become a prince or princess? 39 respondents answered "buy everything that I have wanted." When you feel like buying something, all you have to do is to say "Get it for me!" to your servant. 17 students picked "hold the royal court dancing party." We have thought that elegant dancing and high intellectual level talk are proper to this party, but from time to time, how about changing its style like a night club? However, keep it secret to your mother, the queen!

   Because those kinds of privileges are given only to the royalty like you, there might be numerous people who envy you. Connecting with this, the Annals asked How would you deal with the friends who are jealous of you, a member of royalty? 29 respondents selected "just ignore them." In fact, do you avoid excrement as it is scary? No, because it is dirty! Let them do what they want! 24 students picked "change the position for a single day." Do you worry if your friend takes your position forever? Unless they have exactly the same figure as you, they cannot be you!

   If you are not robbed of your position by your friend, you can be the king or queen in the future. Then, what do you want to say at the king or queen inauguration ceremony? Considering this, the Annals questioned What will you say at the king or queen inauguration ceremony? There were 23 Yonseians who replied "believe only me!" Hum… aren't they the words that boys usually say to the girls to do jak-up? Every woman will be easily cheated if a handsome prince speaks like that! One person chose "I will conquer the world! Hahaha!..." That person has to be careful because five eagle brothers would come and scold you with a background music "shupa~shupa~shupa~shupa~the resonant sound of engine~!"

   Do you know the fact that the Prince of Wales was involved in a scandal with American pop singer, Briteny Spears? Whether the scandal is true or not, prince or princess cannot be the exception to scandal. For the question What will you do to settle the false scandal? 34 respondents chose "clarify the truth through the press." But there is a caution. The scandal partner who has been usually attached to you could suddenly appear and say, "You are sure to succeed in lifting the veil. Yes! We love each other now!" One person wrote, "If I am interested in the scandal partner, I will stay in calm. If not, I will have the press's door closed." However, please consider the partner's opinion before you decide your behavior.

   
   Now let's wrap up the complicated scandal thing and fall into the fantasy! We have grown up reading beautiful fairly tales and hoping to be a king or princess in it. At first, to the male students, the Annals asked Who is your favorite king that you would like to be? Among 47 male students, 11 replied "King Sejong" who created Hangeul. When you become King Sejong, register the copyright of Hangeul. You will be able to get lots of royalties whenever Koreans speak Korean! However, would it be better than having 3,000 beautiful court ladies by your side? 2 replied "King Euija" who is a famous King of Baekje for his 3,000 court ladies. He was an original Casanova!

   Then, who is the ideal princess's figure of female students? The Annals asked Who is your favorite princess that you would like to be? Among 53 female respondents, 21 people answered "Princess Jasmin in Aladdin." On the magic carpet, you can sing "A whole new world" with a handsome guy! But, how awkward it would be if you sang that beautiful song in a husky voice! Aladdin might throw you away on the magic carpet! "Sleeping beauty" was chosen by 7 female students. I think you want to become her to date with a boy who is 100 years younger than you, right? You are a thief!

   
   Though you have a husky voice enough to shock Aladin or endure 100 years to meet young boy like your grandson, you are nothing without your nation. If you could be a prince or princess of any country, what country would you select? For the question What country do you want to be the prince or princess of? About half of the respondents (44) picked "United Kingdom" and 14 students, "Principality of Monaco." I think most girls may pick them to meet handsome princes of those countries, Prince William and Andrea. Boys, are you thinking that their personality may be broken up? I am sorry, but they are also said to be so kind!

   Many paparazzis always tag a popular prince or princess like them for 24 hours to obtain some gossip. If a prince or princess is attractive like you, paparazzis cannot leave you alone. So the Annals asked What will you do if paparazzis follow you all day long? 39 respondents answered "employ bodyguards to drive them away." But I am doubtful if they can protect you against numerous cautious paparazzis. They can take pictures of you even while you are picking your nose! Take care. And 16 respondents chose "following paparazzis and aiming your camera at them." There came a universal rule, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Additionally, if a camera has a function as a water gun, it would be perfect!

   
   Sometimes you have to keep up elegance as a member of royalty. Then what is the most important disposition that a prince or princess should have? To investigate it, the Annals asked What disposition do you think that a prince or princess should have most? 38 respondents selected "charisma which can lead the nation." If you don't have it, even a child might say to you like this. "Hey! My mom said that you were such an idiot!" Also, 22 students answered "elegant appearance and attitude." To be inconvenient, things like chewing gums or writing your name with your buttocks will not be permitted to you.

   Prince William of Wales met Claudia Schiffer, inviting her to the palace. Then, as a prince or princess, who do you want to meet? Five people wrote the "President of the U.S, George Bush" And one person added this; "to dust him off!" "Park Shin-yang" was mentioned in this survey by one person. As a hero of the popular drama, "sweetheart of Paris", Park Shin-yang gained many public favors. If he says to Korean girls just once "baby~ let's go!" They must rush out of the door in consternation although she is a princess!

   Prince and princess exist not only in fairly tales but also in reality. Even though they look gorgeous, they have much burden as royalty who represent a nation. People have to lessen their attention toward the royalties and the royalties must remember that they are offspring of the great Kings and Queens who saved the nation from danger and have to give a good example to the people.
