This is an essay by Hyo-min Nam, who’s been a radio writer for 20 years. 🌟 Ever since she was young, her writing skills were extraordinary, shining brightly in various writing events, leading her naturally to become a writer. But, as fate would have it, she became a radio writer. With her writer’s title, she crafts sentences on a keyboard, only to realize that these words ultimately transform into ‘speech’ and come alive.
It’s been ages since I last tuned into a radio. 📻 However, back in the day, I used to listen to it more often than now. What sticks in memory are the unique BGMs of each station and the DJs’ gentle opening remarks. Even when I was zoning out or frantically busy, the moment those words hit, my ears perked up, fully tuned into the DJ’s voice. And, just like he or she said,
I found myself gazing at the sky,
taking deep breaths,
and whispering to myself, ‘Ah, today is that kind of day.’
Looking back, I realized there was a ‘radio writer’ behind those memories. But honestly, the book isn’t mind-blowingly exciting or deeply impactful. It does carry the challenges and life philosophies of being a radio writer, but overall, it’s calm and a bit bland. 📚 Even though it’s a short read, it felt like it took a while to finish. But for those whose tastes align, they might find it quite enjoyable.
I’m lenient with movies, 🎬
lenient with music, 🎶
lenient with games, 🎮
But strangely, not so much with writing. ✍️
Perhaps it’s fortunate to have even one such thing…
