How to become 'not-wanted' person for big companies.

This is nothing to do with traveling in Korea but just my personal story.
As returning the book I borrowed last time, I was wandering the library to choose another book to read. Then a book dragged my eyes... The title of the book was '누가 무지개 깃발을 짓밟는가'. Its english title was Unfinished lives. It was about people who fought for discrimination or died for it.


It was so obvious that I would love to read the book. But for a second I hesitated to bringing to the check out desk to rent it. And that's shame of mine. 

It's been more than 6 months since I came back to Korea after my graduation. Then was preparing to get a job in Korea. I have been reading newspaper and practicing to think as the person who the big corporation would want to hire.

"You should be better than others but shouldn't be distinguishable." 

This was what my friend told me when I just started to get a job in Korea. Now I understand what he meant. I hesitated to read the book since I was afraid that I would think different from others. 

Mayor of Seoul, Won-soon Park, said that he cannot support same sex marriage as a mayor of Seoul. It could be same for me maybe. I should not support same sax marriage as a part of company but still support them personally.
