In fields where women are historically underrepresented, female students at KAIST are breaking barriers and redefining what success looks like in STEM. Their perseverance, dedication, and achievements are not only challenging deep-rooted stereotypes but also paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future in science and technology.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate their incredible efforts and acknowledge the importance of creating opportunities for all in the pursuit of scientific and technological advancement. Together, we can work toward a future where everyone, regardless of gender, has an equal chance to thrive in STEM.

Every October 9, South Korea honors Hangeul Proclamation Day, marking the creation of the Korean alphabet in 1446. Over centuries, Hangeul evolved from unifying Korea to becoming a global cultural symbol — thanks in part to the skyrocketing popularity of K-pop. 🎵

From the pioneers of the 90s to today’s digital-native idols, every generation of K-pop has left its mark in the history of music. Groups like BTS, BLACKPINK, and Stray Kids have turned K-pop into a global phenomenon, inspiring millions to learn Hangeul to sing along and connect with Korean culture.

In our October issue’s culture section, we dive into Joker 2, an unconventional sequel that takes a bold turn by blending gritty drama with musical elements. With Joaquin Phoenix reprising his role as the Joker and Lady Gaga joining as Harley Quinn, Folie à Deux offers a fresh take — but is it the follow-up fans were hoping for? Praised for its visuals yet questioned for its tonal shift, the film has sparked mixed reactions.

A bittersweet farewell or a new beginning? As the pandemic winds down, senior KAIST students reflect on how their university experience compares to today’s bustling campus life. With in-person events, student clubs, and a vibrant social scene returning, many feel a sense of loss over what could have been. Despite this, the article encourages seniors to celebrate these positive changes and take pride in the legacy they’re leaving behind, reminding all students to make the most of every moment.

“Enjoy the butterflies, enjoy being naïve, enjoy the nerves, the pressure, people not knowing your name, because that’s part of it… enjoy the process of making a name for yourself. Stay focused — you got to the dance in the first place doing what you do, so don’t change too much. Keep trying to build and learn and grow, but don’t forget what got you here.”

- Daniel Ricciardo
