 written by 20204 Kim Eunhwan & 20715 Yoon Dawon THE PRESS: What was your first impression of SAWL? Principal Park Jeongsook: At first, when I walked into the school, I felt that the buildings were generally traditional places. Walking through the halls, the students I met seemed very happy and bowed well. It made me think our school students are all so kind and civil. It was so good. THE PRESS: Well, we are so proud that we are those students, too. Do you have any hopes for Sawlians? Principal Park: Above all, I wish that our school students make the best effort they can for their futures. Also I want them to be those who are polite and care not only for themselves but also for other people. THE PRESS: We agree with those words.

written by 20714 Ryu Hajin Do you prefer long videos or short videos? These days, various types of content, such as long-form and short-form, are receiving much attention. Among them, let’s look at the short-form, a video content about the MZ generation seeking freedom and fun. Short-form is a video trend that reflects the public’s consumption of content using mobile devices anytime, anywhere, with short videos of less than 1 to 10 minutes. What is the clear difference between long-form and short-form marketing? Long-form content is content that you take your time to enjoy slowly, while short-form content is easily accessible and quickly consumed in your busy daily life. Long-form content is mainly consumed by platforms such as YouTube and Netflix, while short-form content thrives on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, allowing for fast content consumption.  In recent years, most of the content that viewers consume is short-form, such as YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok...

written by 10610 Park So Min,   In my opinion, inclusivity means treating everyone fairly and making people with different backgrounds, traits, abilities and beliefs feel welcome.  It’s about creating environments, like in society, workplaces and schools, where everyone can join in and communicate freely.
