When I was four, or maybe five, I remember crying because I was terrified by the sound of a choir singing.
It is the first frightening sound that remains in my memory.
These days, I often find that most sounds seem peaceful and harmonious, which feels a little strange.
I wonder, where within me could that terrifying sound have sunk and settled?


​네 살이었나 다섯이었나 성가대의 합창이 무서워 울었던 적이 있었습니다. 그것이 기억에 남아있는 최초의 무서운 소리입니다.
​지금은 모든 소리가 평화롭고 조화롭게 들릴 때가 많은데, 그게 새삼스레 이상하기도 합니다.
​그 두려웠던 소리는 내 어디로 가라앉아 버렸을까요?
