💡 INTRODUCTION
In a bustling city filled with light and sound, people seem to live happily—but do they truly?
According to Master Woo Myung, even in the most vibrant cities, people are quietly shackled by the trivialities of life they themselves have created. Only when hardship strikes do they begin to search for meaning, for their true self.
🌙 Even in moonlit nights of poetry and song, something is missing.
This piece invites you to reflect on the fragility of urban life, the limits of man, and the illusion of happiness tied to the external world.

📝 ORIGINAL WRITING BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
City – Dweller
The one whose long golden hair blows in the wind,
The one who blinks his dark eyes without a word,
even the one who sighs for he could not fulfill his will:
their departures would be instantaneous.
In their solitude,
people gaze upon the moon,
sing songs,
and recite poetry
when moonlight flows calmly.
The city is full of lively people.
They live happily without worries,
bound to themselves
as well as life’s trivialities which they have created.
It is only when they are struck with worries
that they search for themselves.
People live adapting to their environment
but there is a limit to what man can do.
Even the ones we envy
take their own lives in an instant.
Without a clue, people live their lives in this world
where they can neither laugh nor cry.
Such is human life.
– Woo Myung
