"I recently bought several wood models" Ryu Hye-won, 24, female For Ryu, a graduate student, a childhood love for building wood models has grown into a cherished hobby. "The cute, colorful designs of these models draw me the most. But beyond their look, what keeps me coming back is the sense of achievement I feel when I complete a model," she said.
Unlike the often unresolved nature of academic work, wood models provide her with a sense of closure and accomplishment. She shared a photo of a model she recently built, which cost approximately 30,000 won. In return for her money, she enjoyed three hours of pure concentration and satisfaction while working on it.
"As a graduate student, I don't always get to see the tangible results of my efforts. That demotivates me, making it challenging to maintain complete focus. With wood models, it's different.
After just a few hours of concentrated work, I experience that satisfying 'Oh, I did it!' moment." "I primarily spend on self-improvement" Kim Tae-yoon, 22, male Kim, a university student majoring in singing, spends about 400,000 won each month on private vocal lessons and pays for a gym membership. While a significant part of his budget goes towards these self-improvement expenses, he says he is not the only one doing this.
"Many people around me also invest a lot of their disposable income in self-improvement and self-care, whether it's for academies, studying or gym memberships. Young people seem to be focused on developing themse.
