The PILC fair clued me into a current I hadn’t really felt before.
Most of us law students live in a relatively isolated world that comprises the space between our apartment, and our classroom. It’s rare for one of us here in New York to have occasion to run into someone from another school. Take NYU for example, we have Cardozo which is like 8 blocks away, and yet I never meet anyone from there. The only real contact the average NYU student has is with a school like Columbia, and they tend to have problems with mice.
So when the PILC fair came to NYU, I got a good taste of the pretentiousness. Here are some examples of things I overheard:
“A guy from Yale is here? Why? Do they even need to bother interviewing.”
“I was worried about my interview, but I realized I was up against people from St. John’s.”
“Our only competition is Columbia, and they hate Public Interest.”
This is why I imagine people at other schools don’t like us. These type of attitudes definitely exist, even though normally you’d get a dirty look from people if you said them. The PILC fair seemed to bring out the worst in people.
Word of advice to those of you who go to ‘good’ law schools: drop the feeling of superiority, because when you’re interviewing at a firm you’ll make an off-handed comment that a person will take to heart. A second list follows:
I’m from New Jersey, but I couldn’t go to Seton Hall, I had to go somewhere good and outside of Jersey. [Turns out your interviewer was the Editor of Seton Hall Law Review]
Yeah, my grades are kind of low, but I’m at Chicago, so you know, that’s like an A at Georgetown. [Something about law students in New York and taking cracks at Georgetown for no real reason. I blame them for not getting me a job in DC.]
You go to Brooklyn Law school? Is that actually a law school? [The person honestly didn't know when they said it.]
[Referencing the Thomas M. Cooley School of Law. I don't know who goes there, but they graduate enough people that you have to offend someone.]
On second thought, it’s probably best never to mention anything particular about law schools in an interview, or around law firm partners while you’re drinking EVER.
Playboy, good-looking guy, warm smile… there are quite a few words come up to people’s mind when talking about Kim Bum. Five years after entering showbiz, Kim bum, as an actor, has achieved considerable accomplishments. Thanks entirely to his hilarious, talented performance in “Highkick” as Kim Ho, and his real-actor turn in “Eden of the East” as Lee Dong-chae, followed by the heartthrob So Yi-jung in “Boys over Flowers”, the pickpocket-turned-boxer Lee Jang-suk in “Dream’, and his breakthrough role in movie “Bi-sang”, Kim Bum is always passionately into his work.
“I feel I just start right now,” He says,” It is like running a Marathon, you have to complete the entire 26 miles to get to the finishing line. Only people with strong belief and passion can make it.” This is Kim Bum, an open-minded, brave and fearless actor. So how’s 2010 been treating him so far?
Last year, you performed in a couple of dramas/movies, and won the Best Newcomer Award at SBS Drama Award. Congratulations!
The new comer award came with a little surprise. It’s very special to me. It might bring with some pressure, but I felt really happy receiving this award.
Any plan after your new drama?
Rest, relax! Don’t contact me and let me have a nice break. (laughs)
Without taking a break, you picked a new project?
I didn’t take even one week off last year. I was planning to take a break after finishing filming Dream, but then Still came up and the role fit me well. I didn’t want to give up it. I feel it’s a great opportunity to work with a lot of veterans.
In your latest drama, I heard about a relationship with 12 years age gap. Have you ever came across this situation before?
You mean love beyond age gap? I thought it was impossible before. But after this drama, I feel people of older age also have the right to pursue love. Age shouldn’t be the limitation. I even feel more comfortable hanging around with older people now. So I want to meet such person.Does “Speedy calendar’ literally mean busy and painful schedule?
I do have thought about taking some time off after Still. But when I come across a good drama, I will totally get over this idea. Also, once I start a new drama, I will engage myself in it, and don’t really think about other stuff.
Talking about Dream, it’s your first time taking a leading role in a movie. How’s it different from a TV series?
Dream is my first movie. Different from filming for TV series, on the set I gave a lot of impromptu or more detailed acting, depending on the situation. But after finishing filming the movie, I feel, for an actor, the best feedback would be that the viewers think watching this movie is a right choice.
You provided solid performance in Dream, where you must have put a lot of effort?
My challenging spirits get built up as my curiosity grows. I think that’s the case for many serious people. Now I’m working as an actor, and know that’s the right thing I should do. I get to know the reason better.
Do you still keep in touch with the other F4 members? How are they doing?
Yeah, of course. We always want to meet up sometime no matter how busy we’ve been. I’m the youngest one among them.(laughs) It’s not difficult to meet up when working in the same industry. We probably will contact each other after finishing this drama. They should be doing pretty well.
Do you like wearing suits, like Yi-jung?
My style philosophy is as simple as possible. So except for some special events, I usually wear simple clothes.(laughs) My favorite color is black. When you open my wardrobe, you will see all in black. Black jacket is growing on me.
In Japan, Korean stars are becoming more popular?
I feel really lucky for gaining a lot of popularity in Japan. There isn’t big difference working in Japan compared to in Korea. I feel pretty happy that I gained lots of experiences.
What do you prefer people to address you, an actor or a singer?
To make a sky analogy: when people look upon the sky, they might not remember the star’s name, but still could see the star shining bright. That’s the shining actor I want to be.
What kind of actor you want to become in ten years?
When I’m enlisted in the army in my early thirties, the news would be titled as “an actor is going to the front line”. If so, I will never regret.
BOE is pleased and honored that Magne Ognedal, Director General of the Petroleum Safety Authority – Norway, has agreed to the blog’s first interview. Magne is an internationally recognized authority on offshore safety and regulatory policy. He has been a leader of the International Regulators’ Forum since its inception in 1994, has assisted governments with emerging offshore energy programs, and served as program and steering committee chair for major international conferences. He was recently appointed by the King’s cabinet to a second 6-year term as Director General. I’m sure you will be interested in Magne’s candid and informative comments about offshore safety, regulatory policy, and international cooperation.
NOTE: Not your favorite character. Which one are you most intrigued to explore the rest of their story?
My choice would actually be Ben Linus. Even though we already know most of his life and past secrets, his character right now represents the common man I think: At a place of confusion between two opposing forces, one seemingly of goodness and another of evil, both difficult to understand. Ending Season 5, When Ben is reminded that he always has a choice, he chose to kill. I think there is some “next level shizz” (as is COOL to say these days) going on here with Ben in relation to Jacob and his nemesis.
Anyway, after 1 astronomically unbelievable season premier, here’s to looking forward to what Im sure will tastily confound us all further and further until (hopefully) a truly mind-shattering ending.
I mean how is this thing possibly going to end??
Here’s the first bit of information regarding one of Rob’s appearances:
