00:00:00Hello friends, welcome to Friday Night Live Hunky Lee episode 163.7.
00:00:10Yeah, let's do exercise, of course.
00:00:15Okay.
00:00:17The physical therapy for my right shoulder.
00:00:23Okay.
00:00:34Okay.
00:00:39All right.
00:00:46Now, let's do some push-ups.
00:00:59Five finger push-ups, okay?
00:01:02To strengthen our fingers.
00:01:21Okay, good enough.
00:01:24Yeah, my right shoulder is recovering, so I kind of worked on it.
00:01:31Okay.
00:01:33Five minutes break, please.
00:01:35Thank you.
00:01:37Okay.
00:01:49Five minutes break.

00:04:57Five minutes break.
00:05:26Five minutes break.
00:05:55Five minutes break.
00:06:24Five minutes break.
00:06:53Five minutes break.
00:07:22Five minutes break.
00:07:51Five minutes break.
00:08:07Five minutes break.
00:08:25Five minutes break.
00:08:52Welcome.
00:09:01Yes, I did publish that In the Name of Humanity Press, volume 24.
00:09:1218 hours.
00:09:15Such a painful process.
00:09:18Copy and paste, copy and paste.
00:09:21Cheers.
00:09:29So it's like once a month routine that I do.
00:09:34It's very tedious, very.
00:09:40Copy and paste, copy and paste, the accumulation of one month's worth of short stories, novels, okay?
00:09:49And it takes me like two to three hours to do that.
00:10:03I mean, it's not a popular book I don't make.
00:10:07I make like 30 cents per year on average, okay?
00:10:12But then is it worthwhile?
00:10:16I would say so.
00:10:17Why?
00:10:20It's like my service to future generation, okay?
00:10:25It's volunteerism.
00:10:33Yeah.
00:10:36It's my service for humanity, okay?
00:10:38Yeah.
00:10:44Volunteerism, yeah.
00:10:53Yeah, it's.
00:11:02It's like giving birth to a baby, okay?
00:11:04Yeah, once a month.
00:11:07For females, yeah, they go through period, menstruation, which is not an enjoyable experience, right?
00:11:17It's kind of like that, okay?
00:11:19It's a very, very painful process here, okay?
00:11:23The publication.
00:11:25It's.
00:11:29So, I mean, when I made that movie, Therapy for Metaphobia, in Los Angeles, California, right?
00:11:40It's kind of like that.
00:11:41Any production, creative process.
00:11:45I mean, the most difficult part of making that movie was post-production.
00:11:54The editing.
00:11:59I cried in the bathroom.
00:12:01I finished editing when I was in the U.S. Army barracks, Fort Hood, Texas, okay?
00:12:08I cried in the bathroom, I remember.
00:12:11Why?
00:12:13Because I used, like, five different computer softwares.
00:12:18Title editor.
00:12:21Movie editor.
00:12:25MIDI editor, the music editor.
00:12:31And some more.
00:12:33So, those companies, they are from different countries.
00:12:37They are different companies.
00:12:39So, those softwares sometimes did not work very well with each other, okay?
00:12:45The interface.
00:12:48It was a very painful process, okay?
00:13:07And publication-wise, it's so painful.
00:13:13I enjoy it when I write it.
00:13:15But copying and pasting, there's just so many.
00:13:22I write a lot.
00:13:30And every time I write, it's this snippet, okay?
00:13:34It's different files, so I have to open it.
00:13:37Then copy.
00:13:39And then paste to one Microsoft Word document.
00:13:42And I take pictures, too.
00:13:44And I have to download every single individual picture file.
00:13:50And then copy and paste.
00:14:13It's not an enjoyable experience at all, okay?
00:14:15Yeah.
00:14:20It's painful.
00:14:42Painful process.
00:14:43Oh.
00:14:56Maybe there's an easier way to publish these things.
00:15:02I don't know.
00:15:04But I...
00:15:12Maybe some publication software, huh?
00:15:14Application.
00:15:26Yeah, once a month, it's a very, very painful process.
00:15:34Yeah.
00:15:49But now that it's done, yeah.
00:15:55Let's get over it.
00:16:15So how many short stories?
00:16:21About 150.
00:16:24So I guess I write, like, three short stories per night.
00:16:36No.
00:16:37Five.
00:16:39150 divided by 30.
00:16:42That's five.
00:16:43Okay, so I write, like, five short stories per night on average.
00:16:48Wow.
00:17:13Considering how much I work,
00:17:16I'm a lawyer, full-time job, Monday through Friday.
00:17:20After that, I do mathematics.
00:17:23After that, I write novels.
00:17:27I also run, like, social media live show.
00:17:31Considering how much I work every day, every night,
00:17:37it is miraculous how young I look.
00:17:40I'm 46.
00:17:41I look like what?
00:17:4820-something.
00:17:54It is miraculous how young I look considering the workload that I do.
00:18:00Okay.
00:18:13I'm blessed that I'm not famous, okay?
00:18:15Because if I'm famous, I don't think I can handle it because I don't want to be busy.
00:18:22But in a sense, I am busy.
00:18:28Can I take five minutes break?
00:18:31Well, I know how to take a break, so, yeah, five minutes, okay?

00:26:01guess it's fair that way I don't have burden of raising a child like married
00:26:09people do
00:26:15but
00:26:18I have burden of monthly burden of publishing a book so I guess fair that
00:26:23way
00:26:25yeah
00:26:29I guess just worry to think about it sure sure it's fair
00:26:40yeah

00:29:01compared to other things that I do I mean at work as a lawyer sometimes it is a
00:29:07lot of work sometimes it's extremely stressful sometimes it is that happens
00:29:12like I say once a quarter maybe twice a quarter maybe thrice a quarter okay but
00:29:18less once a month
00:29:24sometimes maybe but I would say less on average less than once a month okay

00:41:55Yeah, I published that book okay in the name of humanity praise like volume 24
00:42:01And it took me like two to three hours doing that. Yeah
00:42:06Welcome. Yeah. Yeah
00:42:10Yeah, there was a lot of work
00:42:17You
00:42:22And
00:42:26Now it's time for relaxation, right? Yeah
00:42:35The writing process is not a difficult process for me, but the publication
00:42:41That I do once a month
00:42:45Over the weekend like at the beginning of every month
00:42:49That's what gets me that because I have to copy and paste all this short stories
00:42:55to one Microsoft
00:42:57word
00:42:59file and
00:43:02It's
00:43:08It takes two to three hours for me okay to do that it's
00:43:15You
00:43:18Yeah
00:43:20But it's done
00:43:22If you're available in Amazon Kindle, maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because they go through the review process, right?
00:43:30Yeah
00:43:34Yeah, so
00:43:37You
00:43:42Yes, yeah
00:43:45Hmm
00:44:02No
00:44:04Also, there's some pictures in that
00:44:06Book
00:44:10Yeah, like
00:44:19Yeah
00:44:27Yeah
00:44:32Oh, yeah, it was
00:44:36You
00:44:38It's kind of moving a mountain, right? Yeah
00:44:43That's
00:44:45What it felt like like
00:44:47You
00:45:06This is moving a mountain it is possible like an excavator
00:45:12Cranes or just bulldozers trucks, right?
00:45:18It's like mining operation
00:45:21Like coal mine. I like coal mine. Okay, and of course, so
00:45:27That's what it involves
00:45:29Yeah, any money made you a gold mine or diamond mine?
00:45:34It's basically moving a mountain. Yeah, and they use
00:45:39machinery, right
00:45:42Yeah, when I write yeah, I use my cell phone
00:45:47When I publish I use my laptop computer
00:45:50Yeah, there are machineries
00:45:54Yeah, so
00:45:57You know, it's easier than
00:46:00typing in a typewriter like back in the days or
00:46:04Writing with pencil and paper back in the days, right? It's a lot easier than that, right? But still
00:46:12Yeah, once a month I go through this
00:46:16Yeah
00:46:29Yeah
00:46:37So I was like, I mean is it worthwhile all this labor work
00:46:43If nobody's buying this book
00:46:49I mean I kind of just friends
00:46:54Buy this book volume series
00:46:57On every like once a year to me. That's good enough. I'm very grateful. Okay, it's just that um, I
00:47:06Think it's worthwhile the effort because
00:47:10It's my volunteerism for future generations, yeah
00:47:16Emma who's Emma
00:47:19Emily, well, there's a fictional character. It's not real. Okay, but thank you for reading. Okay. Yeah
00:47:25There were fictional character and I I'm single guy. I fantasize about
00:47:31having a girlfriend
00:47:33having a wife
00:47:36Having a wife
00:47:39It's all imagination the fictions
00:47:44Okay, but thank you for reading yeah
00:47:49Yeah
00:47:53Oh, yeah
00:47:57Hmm
00:48:06So writing is fun, okay, that's why I do writing. Okay, and I
00:48:11Write a lot because I enjoy it. Okay, but the publication
00:48:18That's the very very very the kind of experience that
00:48:25Not enjoyable at all, okay
00:48:27Yeah
00:48:29Because it's kind of mechanical process writing is very creative process, right
00:48:34But publication a copy and paste copy paste like hundred and fifty times, right?
00:48:40That's not a creative process at all. That's very mechanical tedious
00:48:46Labor but
00:48:51That's what it takes as for me, okay
00:48:58I
00:49:02Can do it once a month
00:49:11Yeah
00:49:21Yeah, so
00:49:28Yeah
00:49:33Mm-hmm
00:49:35What's the temperature in Alaska 61 Fahrenheit that's like 15 Celsius
00:49:43From Fahrenheit to Celsius. Yeah use a subtract sorry and divide by two this
00:49:50Approximation, okay
00:49:52Campaign yeah, it's going well. Thank you. Yeah
00:49:55Yeah
00:49:57Yeah, cheers. Yeah
00:50:03Mm-hmm. Oh

00:55:39Yeah

00:55:51creative person, so

00:55:58Still right. I still do mathematics if I'm US president. Yeah, I work only for 40 hours a week like anybody else

00:56:26Mm-hmm
00:56:31Yeah, so
00:56:34Yeah, so we can talk about creative writing
00:56:38Okay, I never took that class creative writing class. Okay
00:56:42the only English class
00:56:44Well in America that I've taken in college. It was like English as a second language. I
00:56:51Took four classes
00:56:54ESL English as a second language group. My native language is Korean. Okay, which is very different from English. Okay
00:57:01It was difficult for me to learn English
00:57:06Yeah
00:57:08That was back in 1997
00:57:11Most likely before you were born. Okay, I'm 46. Okay. Cheers. Yeah
00:57:19I also took one English literature class. Oh
00:57:23Nice. Yeah, your Korean friend. Very cool
00:57:27Yeah, so
00:57:28One English literature class if there's three credit I got a B. I got I didn't get a name. Okay
00:57:37Okay, cool
00:57:42Yeah
00:57:47So
00:57:49Creative writing. It's not like I don't know what they teach their creative writing class because I never take them on
00:57:56But if you ask me
00:58:03What's my process of creative writing
00:58:06It's not like it's not like I'm hearing voices in my head. Okay, like God or devil
00:58:12Whispering in my ear. It's not like that at all. Okay, so
00:58:16It's like creative writing as I do it is it's like um, it's late at night typically and I'm drunk
00:58:25I'm on my bed
00:58:27I have my cell phone
00:58:35So I type in my cell phone with my fingers
00:58:39In the darkness at late at night when I'm like drunk
00:58:44So any fictions is partly based in reality experience. Yeah more the inspiration, right? Yeah
00:58:57This Alaska high-goose cranberry is edible berry. Okay, I put vodka in there. So
00:59:05Yeah
00:59:07Very healthy fruit. Yeah, high-goose cranberry. Okay
00:59:14It's Alaska native plant that edible. Yeah
00:59:23Yeah
00:59:38Cheers
00:59:45To like
00:59:51This Alaska foodie
00:59:54Yeah, it's from Walmart
00:59:57Yeah, how much is it
01:00:00I
01:00:04Bought this long time ago. I don't remember but my guess would be maybe
01:00:09$10 $15 maybe
01:00:12Yeah, yeah, I bought it from Walmart. Yeah
01:00:23So creative writing is like this, okay, so based on experience like people I met
01:00:30And
01:00:32The characters, you know fiction novel, right? Yeah people I met in the past and
01:00:42But some modification
01:00:48From that person that I met
01:00:53Yeah, but based on reality real experience, okay
01:00:56Yeah
01:00:58People I met but when I write novel and transform that person into a character in a fiction I
01:01:06Make some modification
01:01:09Okay
01:01:14It's almost like cooking
01:01:22Killary art
01:01:27You have this dish
01:01:30You put
01:01:34Carrots
01:01:38But you put some spice in there
01:01:42Maybe
01:01:45Vinegar
01:01:49Or fish sauce
01:01:51Sauce
01:01:54Salt and pepper
01:01:59Possibly like red hot chili
01:02:03Pepper
01:02:05Sriracha sauce, right to spice things up
01:02:13Right to make it more interesting
01:02:18Okay
01:02:22You
01:02:26Do that character part, right? Hmm
01:02:32Uh, I came to Alaska 10 years ago, okay, and before that I was in Michigan before that I was in

01:06:38Cheers. Yep
01:06:42Okay
01:06:44So like a creative writing, okay, we have characters
01:06:48Right, and then we have stories
01:06:51Okay, that's the key ingredient of any fiction novel. Okay, you have characters and you have some storyline
01:06:59So characters are kind of loosely based on people I met
01:07:04Okay. Yeah
01:07:06But kind of spice things up. Yeah, I modify the characters to make those characters more interesting. Okay, and
01:07:14Then when comes story again, it's based on my experience
01:07:20interaction
01:07:21with people
01:07:23True stories based on true stories my experience
01:07:32And then I spice it up just like cooking culinary art, okay. Yeah to make it more interesting than reality
01:07:41Okay
01:07:46Modification
01:07:49Even
01:07:52Deviation
01:07:56Diversion from reality, okay. So yeah, like
01:08:04Hmm
01:08:09Like alternative universe
01:08:13All right
01:08:19The space
01:08:21Territory of wild imagination
01:08:30Okay, so that's how creative writing
01:08:38Should be or
01:08:40Okay, I don't know what that is there in those classes creative writing classes. Okay, but to me it's a little bit
01:08:46Self-contradictory, I mean creative writing. I mean, do you need to have to take a class for it? I
01:08:54Mean, is there like fixed formula for it and that defeats the purpose of creativity, right?
01:09:05I
01:09:06Don't know. I'm not English major. Okay, so I do not take
01:09:09Creative writing class. Okay. I have no idea what they teach there. Okay

01:10:23Expressions and imagination
01:10:30Fantasies
01:10:39I

01:35:56Great interaction, right? Yeah great conversation. Fantastic. Yeah, have a good night's sleep. Yeah
01:36:06So back in Madison, Wisconsin days
01:36:09It
01:36:11Was good times and bad times, of course like anywhere else
01:36:16but
01:36:18As I was working full-time minimum wage job. I did not have a car. I did not even have driver's license back then
01:36:251997. Okay, I
01:36:28Commuted from my apartment. That's like off campus in Madison, Wisconsin
01:36:33Just outside of the university
01:36:35Badgers, right? Yeah, UW, Madison
01:36:39Yeah, small apartment is like studio apartment efficiency
01:36:44It's just like one room kitchen and bathroom. Okay
01:36:50I was able to pay the rent. What was the rent?
01:36:54It was like maybe $200 $300 something
01:36:59I was able to pay for it
01:37:01And commuting from my apartment to work by bus
01:37:08Yeah
01:37:10For a year
01:37:14Welcome friends. Yeah, good evening. Yeah
01:37:24It was nice
01:37:27It was nice, yeah working a grocery store for one year it was nice and
01:37:36But it was
01:37:39Labor job. Okay. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're welcome. Yeah, welcome. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah and
01:37:49Madison, Wisconsin, American Midwest
01:37:52Madison, Wisconsin, American Midwest
01:37:56During the winter it snows a lot. It's just like in Alaska. Okay, so
01:38:02To collect a shopping cart from parking lot, it was not easy
01:38:08Because it's so much snow
01:38:14I was 19 back then. Okay, so 1997 and
01:38:19It was not easy
01:38:22You
01:38:27Although I was young, okay, but still it was tough
01:38:36Yeah, I remember yeah, welcome friends
01:38:44Yeah
01:38:46You
01:38:51So in Korea during middle school, I remember
01:38:57Look I have to let you go. Okay, your language is not proper. Okay. Yeah
01:39:08Yeah, so what's your language, okay, please
01:39:11Okay
01:39:14So like, um
01:39:23In Korea K-12 system like middle school high school, okay, we are supposed to memorize
01:39:30From English textbook
01:39:33Not just sentences no whole paragraph actually multiple paragraphs
01:39:39We have to memorize it, okay, that's like our English class homework assignment
01:39:47And we are supposed to recite it in front of class
01:39:58But a better way to learn English maybe memorizing
01:40:02English lyrics in a song like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Bee Gees
01:40:09Or the Dwarves or
01:40:16Steve Miller band
01:40:20They were a lot easier to memorize because their lyrics their music that comes with it. Okay
01:40:26Or maybe Steve Wonder, Michael Jackson. Sure
01:40:30Michael Jackson, sure
01:40:32Yeah, I mean, they'll be a lot easier to memorize and learn English language
01:40:38Memorizing the lyrics because there's a melody to it
01:40:41Music that comes with it
01:40:45Then they were my recommendation
01:40:47Because that's how I learned English when I was in Madison, Wisconsin back in 1997
01:40:53in my spare time
01:40:55As a minimum wage worker in Woodman's supermarket
01:41:01Madison, Wisconsin, 1997
01:41:05In my spare time, yeah, I memorized the lyrics of
01:41:09songs written in English like
01:41:12British band, yeah, The Beautiful South
01:41:15Wait
01:41:24So a song music is a great way to learn a foreign language
01:41:29No matter what it may be
01:41:32Foreign language, okay. Yeah
01:41:34Yeah
01:41:37Hmm
01:41:43Yeah
01:41:47Learning a foreign language is a very romantic experience. Okay, so
01:41:51that different foreign culture, foreign country
01:41:55is exotic, right?
01:41:59Yeah
01:42:02Going to the internet web pages in the foreign countries
01:42:07And maybe we'll have Google translator or Bing, Yahoo translator, okay
01:42:13Yeah, and then learn their culture, history
01:42:16foreign language
01:42:19Their food like culinary arts, right? Oh, yeah
01:42:31Maybe actually one day travel there, you know
01:42:34But you need to learn martial arts, okay? Because martial arts, self-defense, very important, okay
01:42:41Yeah
01:42:43Oh, yeah
01:42:47Uh, time signature, okay? Yeah, internal motion
01:42:54We have like 15 minutes left. Yeah, well, we'll take five minutes break and we'll make the best use of it
01:42:59Okay, after that we'll transition to Facebook live, okay?
01:43:03After that, I eat my Korean
01:43:08Dumpling, mandu, that I bought from supermarket in Alaska. They sell it. Okay, so
01:43:15Yeah, this is great. Okay, so and use some
01:43:19laver, seaweed
01:43:21which I bought from
01:43:23My parents bought it for me from Korea, okay?
01:43:26Very healthy seaweed, okay
01:43:28Yeah
01:43:30Five minutes break. Okay. Thank you. Welcome. Yeah. Good evening
01:43:36Very cool
01:43:39Yeah
01:43:45Very nice. Yep
01:44:00You
01:44:30You
01:45:00You
01:45:30You
01:45:55So, yeah, welcome back we're back and
01:45:57So, yeah some travel log, okay, so
01:46:01I a month ago, I took vacation to Seoul, South Korea
01:46:05That's where my parents, relatives, siblings are, okay
01:46:11So and then on my way back
01:46:14My airline ticket is a five-hour stopover in Japan, okay
01:46:21That really motivated me to learn about Japanese language
01:46:26Because I wanted to understand
01:46:28Yeah, katakana, hiragana, right? The Japanese alphabet
01:46:34I studied for like
01:46:35More than one month, maybe two, three months, okay
01:46:39It was not easy, okay, but
01:46:41I was able to read
01:46:44Hiragana, katakana, okay, so
01:46:47In Japanese airport, okay
01:46:49Yeah, it's just five hours stopover, okay, so
01:46:52And I was so happy that I was able to read Japanese alphabet
01:47:04Yeah, cheers, yeah
01:47:11It's a charming language, Japanese, okay, so
01:47:14So
01:47:21Yeah
01:47:23So before I go to travel to a foreign country, I learn their language first because I want to understand their language
01:47:31Like learn how to say hello, like in Japanese, it's like good afternoon, konnichiwa, okay
01:47:38And how to say thank you, arigato, right?
01:47:41Thank you very much, arigato gozaimasu
01:47:44Yeah
01:47:45Excuse me, sumimasen
01:47:50I learned the basics, okay, and
01:47:53Yeah, it was nice
01:47:56Although I was there only for five hours in the airport, okay
01:48:00Tokyo, Narita airport, okay
01:48:03It was such a nice experience
01:48:06Yeah
01:48:12It was nice
01:48:17Yeah
01:48:21But I've been to Japan before, again, only airport, okay
01:48:26There was like
01:48:28Something like 20 years ago, okay, so
01:48:30Back then I did not speak any Japanese. I knew basic words like hello and thank you
01:48:39Konnichiwa, arigato, okay, so
01:48:42But they speak very good English, okay, charming Japanese accent
01:48:49Yeah
01:48:52They work in an international airport in Tokyo, of course they know English, okay, so
01:49:00Korea
01:49:04Because in Japan there are a lot of Korean tourists, okay, so some of them speak Korean too, okay, yeah
01:49:14It's vice versa, in Korea, the tourist popular part of Seoul
01:49:20They speak Japanese as well
01:49:23Okay
01:49:27Yes
