ABSTRACT

I have lived in different countries and speak several languages. Western people say, “You are a cosmopolitan woman,” so I looked into a dictionary to see what cosmopolitan means. . . . In Korea it is so common to travel abroad. Or you become wang-tta (excluded). We have seen the world outside. . . . English is essential. I highlight “cosmopolitan” on my CV because it sounds good to put on the CV. Getting a job is extremely diffi cult for women (in Korea).
