Have you ever wanted to read minds? Or wished you had a little bit more of whatever ineffable quality it is that makes some people seem effortlessly popular at parties, lucky in love, and successful at work?

Perhaps you need to brush up on you nunchi - a traditional Korean concept of situational awareness and the focus of the Korean American journalist and author Euny Hong's new book The Power of Nunchi: The Korean Secret to Happiness and Success.

According to Hong, nunchi is the "art of understanding what people are thinking and feeling" - a quality held by those who are sensitive to the dynamics within a given group.

Koreans cultivate nunchi from a young age. "Kids in Korea know the word by age three," she says. "You usually learn it in the negative; if everyone is standing on the right side of an escalator and a kid is lounging on the left, the parent will say, 'Why don't you have any nunchi?' It's partly about not being rude, but it's also partly, 'Why are you not plugged into your environment?'"

The word "nunchi" itself roughly translates to "eye-measure", a sort of sizing-up, not of individuals but of the overall context and atmosphere of a situation. It's applicable to just about every social setting one can be in, from a wedding to a job interview.

In action, nunchi involves noticing who, in any given context, is speaking, who is listening, who interrupts, who apologizes, who is rolling their eyes. From there, one can make potentially useful assessments about the nature of relationships and hierarchies within a group, the overall mood, and how to behave accordingly.

As the truly skilled discern such cues intuitively even as they're constantly in flux, Koreans don't say someone has "good" nunchi, but "quick" nunchi - the ability to rapidly process changing social information.
Faking it: could I go from being an introvert to an extrovert in one week?
Because people with quick nunchi take the time to read the room, their chances of success in any social environment are high - they're more likely to fit in and make connections and are less prone to coming across as clueless or incompetent, or of committing awkward faux pas.

"At a very basic level, people will be happier to be around you if you have quick nunchi," says Hong, "and from a Machiavellian point of view, you can negotiate better" by staying quiet, listening carefully, and gathering information from others before speaking.

Because nunchi is a soft skill premised on discretion, Hong notes it can be a superpower for introverts. She claims approaching social situations through the lens of nunchi even helped her battle social anxiety, allowing her to remain grounded in stressful circumstances.

In her book, Hong also makes the case that nunchi not only helps individuals but has factored into Korea's rapid development from one of the world's poorest nations to a high-income, culturally powerful country in a matter of generations.

This is, as they say, big if true.

Yet if the subtle art of nunchi is so powerful, why does it seem that these days corporate and world leaders seem to more often be blustery loudmouths, rather than sensitive, quiet types?

Hong's investigation of this question illuminates why the concept of nunchi - with its emphasis on unity, relationship building, and collective harmony - may be particularly relevant at a cultural and political moment characterized by divisiveness. It is, after all, essentially the power of understanding others.

"In the west, autonomy and individualism are emphasized, and nunchi seems to advocate the opposite," she says. "But developing nunchi doesn't mean becoming a lemming, it just means you are using data to your advantage to create comfort for yourself and everybody else."

The music has unstable scales through the entire song. The song shows how instability can be part of our life and still be beautiful. I felt it can bring our theme more alive and match well with the mood.

Friends feedbacks

For Minnie: just sth to think about, you said “sometimes eyes limit someones potential to bloom”. Does the audience cause you to slowly lose freedom and hence movement slowly come to stop or do their gaze suddenly shuts your freedom so you stop moving?

For minnie, i really liked the ending part where u keep ur gaze towards the audience, but the front part thats abit more dancey,, i think the intentions are not as clear¿ i was questioning if u were dancing as the person who was being judged or if u were the one judging or if u were switching between both? also i think u cld do more with showing how judgement can limit someone’s potential (since its in ur synopsis) but the ending was very clear!!!

For Minnie: Visuals are clear

I decided to use music because the dynamic graph I'm trying to create is low to high and sudden dropped to make it more dramatic at the end point and the music helps to create the atmosphere.

so We decided the theme that talking about being left out in a community.

To be honestly, I didn't fully understand this theme and feelings comes from it. That made me went to a very narrow direction and only focused on struggles and ended up too 1st dimension approach.

# data[].attributes.body
This one was just based on my first solo work and didn't think deeply about the theme so ended up just putting movements without reasons which I feel very shamed on me hahahhhhhaha

1) costume choice. Have samples in the journal. Describe what aspects of the sample you want and why
I'm thinking a long sleeves and upside down outfit look to show that it seems normal in a distance but if you look at it closer it's not normal and okay to ignore the fact going on in the society but I'm not sure about it and need to think more. I'm also thinking a casual look because that's the most common look everyone wears in the community.

2) mood board- give samples of the feeling you want to evoke in the various segments of your dance (can use images or text of any kind)

3) what further research can you do or have you done to gain context and perspective on your work.
Share what you have and how you are incorporating it

https://gulfnews.com/going-out/society/we-live-in-a-judgemental-society-1.1356082#

4) if this were in a film what sorts of locations would you want or what feel? Add images
1. on a street with people walking around
2. a room full of cameras
I want to create a mood that makes audience feel everyone around me in the video is watching me.

# data[].attributes.body
1) what is the aim of the work?
just to alert people that things we do without thinking

2) What themes are explored in reference to the aim of the work?
judgmental, unnecessary judging, nunchi culture in Korea

3)Is there an organizing structure or hook to the dance? what is that?
the last movement phrase is the main hook point of the dance

4) what is the Trajectory you want the audience to go through?
following following ~~~ and oh!...

5) in reference to question 4 what would be the sections that support this journey
I need to build up well till the last part comes. build the connection..

6) in reference to 4 and 5 what would be a good dynamic arc to achieve that journey?
medium to high

7) how are you creating this dynamic arc?

8) what are your predominant movement qualities, effort actions or motifs? reference question 2.
defensive movement quality and glaring eyes while dancing

- can develop farther the first part if you want to end with the last movement phrase

Why do we easily judge others?

Why are we easily affected by others?

Sometimes, our eyes limit individuals’ potential to bloom and sometimes, I just want to blow the eyes away.

started from my solo work last year and built with my teammates

-Dibi
-Amanda

but we end up with different theme that everyone can be related and be authentic
