“Why... does life have to be so hard?” 

“When I was in high school, I thought getting into college was the hardest thing. Once I was in college, it was even harder to keep up with with the smart kids in college, but I somehow graduated with a decent GPA. Now finding a job is even harder then getting a good GPA.” 

“I’m already worn out. I can’t keep this up.” 

Jinkook is one of the characters in Salty Studio by Omyo that I really like. He was a character that had an appearance of a foreigner which led him to experience scenarios of racism, prejudices, and all kinds of struggles as he’s living his life in the setting of Korea. 

I’m sure in society right now there are many people that are struggling to get employed like Jinkook, though in his case, he found it even harder just because of the way he looks (he took so many job interviews that I can’t even think of the number at the top of my head). People expect him to be something that they think he is, when in truth he really isn’t what they think he is. I feel like preconceiving someone before you truly get to know them is such a powerful thought process that us humans have. 

The quotes above are directly from Jinkook’s mouth from the webtoon as he was crying after experiencing a terrible job opportunity encounter and it really does apply to a lot of people in reality. As a high school student right now, I personally do have to agree that getting into college seems very hard and scary to me, but I also do know that there are going to be even more rough hills that I would eventually have to cross over even after that. Being exhausted like Jinkook seems such a close possibility even to a person like me. 

“But by the time his nose turned red, he said, ’I still want a job,’ and smiled.”
