MINHWA (민화)

 An extraordinary, unconventional from of traditional Korean art, minhwa illustrates the common people's freedom of expression and reveals their innermost thoughts and dreams.

  The most absurd tiger in the world
 Korea was once "the land of tigers." Although they are nearly completely extinct today, Korea used to have so many tigers that they could be found on nearly each of the country's many mountains. The tigers, which often came down to human villages to eat livestock and eveevenn harm people, was considered to be more than just an animal by ancient Koreans. It was both feared and respected, given the nickname "Prince of the mountain." The tiger is also the most frequently depicted subject in Korea folk paintings (called "minhwa" in Korean.) But in minhwa, the fearsome and sacred tiger depicted as an absurd creature-painted in unhindered and humorous strokes to the point of being shocking. This is certainly not because minhwa were poorly done. The uninhibited, revolutionary manner in which minhwa depicted the tiger is made very clear when we compare it with the more traditional approach employed by Kim Hong Do (김홍도), one of the Joseon (좃선) Dynasty's greatest artists, in his "Tiger Under the Pine Tree." It is in this freedom of expression and amazingly unconventional method of painting where we see how minhwa so effectively portrayed the hopes and desires of the common people. The minhwa's humorous depictions helped the people overcome their fear of the tiger by giving this sacred being a friendlier demeanor and appearance.

  The hope of the people expressed in carefree unconventionality 
 In essence, minhwa is a genre of art created for the common people. It is the natural outcome of the people's long-cherished desire to live healthy and prosperous lives and beautify their living environment. Encompassing a variety of subjects and methods of expression, minhwa were created through a strong adherence to the symbols and events of thr everyday lives of Koreans.
As a result, they are heavily invested with a uniquely Korean psyche in terms of both content and philosophy. Although minhwa lack the elegance and refined beauty of traditional Korean paintings of the artistic establishment, their humorous and simple format in addition to their unconventional layout and bold colors are, neverthless, important characteristics of the Korean aesthetic.

SOCIAL MEDIA

 The definition of social media is: websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.
 By looking at this recognition, social media is like; follow the news,find the new job, earn money, find the long-lost friends, catch up with friends... So you can say: it can only be said to have advantages, but nothing is as it seems, and social media isn't what it looks like. I mean social media also has disadvantages. But of course, it's healthier to use social media if you pay attention to them.
 So what are the elements that need attention?
Firstly, social media distracts young people from the real social environment in extreme use. Asymptomatic human relationships can reveal weak, passive and unhappy personalities.
Secondly, if you use your real information when opening a social media account, you can became teh target of bad people. I mean bad people can steal your information or they can trick you.
Thirdly, the desire to be popular among young people is quite intense. A young man who wants to do this he can get a lie. He may exhibit behaviors that don't overlap with him.
 In my opinion, if you want to open the account in the social networking sites, like Instagram, you shouldn't write your all personal information but your friends can recognize you. You should also not spend much time on social media and let social media turn you into someone you don't.
