It’s round but slightly different — more like an oval (1)

I have a habit of drawing continuous shapes with a pencil in hand—circles, triangles, squares, ovals, stars, and more. There's a strange charm in the shapes that form from the tips of my fingers. Among them, I find the oval to be the most beautiful. It doesn’t strive to be a perfect circle, but the smooth curve created by the two foci and the balance within it makes it uniquely special.

Perhaps my life is also similar to an oval. It is not perfect, but the journey between the two foci is the very process of my life’s path.

Since I was young, I have longed for the many joys that the world has to offer. The pleasure of a warm meal prepared by my mother, the excitement of wearing new clothes, the comfort of lying in bed after a long day—these small pleasures given by the world have always brought me great happiness.

But among them, what particularly captivated me was the "world on screen." TV dramas, movies, advertisements, documentaries—various stories on screen came to me as both mysterious and vivid. Sometimes I would meet a resident in Africa, or enter a stranger’s home in Europe, experiencing their lives, crying, and laughing with them. From that moment, I decided that I didn’t want to simply experience this special joy through the screen, but I wanted to learn the process of creating that joy.

This decision led me into the world of media and advertising, where I discovered the 'beauty' that combines creativity and message. However, one day, I was confronted with another question.

“What is true beauty?”

While searching for an answer to this question, I once saw a beauty student carrying a mannequin by a university building. At that moment, I realized that True beauty doesn’t just lie in the external appearance but starts from the essential beauty that connects people. It is the true beauty that arises from 'humanity' and 'humaneness.'

I also came to understand that this beauty could be learned within the beauty industry.
