The Journey to 카지노 쿠폰o's Concert

'영웅콘서트로 가는 길' 영문스피치 원고입니다.

2024년 4월 10일 생생한 티켓팅 전쟁을 치르고

“이건 스피치로 남겨야 해.” 하고 최초 발표했을 때는 2024년 5월 콘서트 전이었습니다.

그 이후 뒷 내용이 계속 덧붙여졌고, 2025년 인터내셔널 토스터마스터즈 스피치 콘테스트를 준비하면서 콘테스트에 맞게 업데이트해오다 올해 3월 Area speech 2위를 끝으로 이 여정을 마무리하려 합니다. 좋은 스피치를 하기 위해 더 필요한 것을 배우기도 했고, 토스터마스터즈 클럽을 벗어나 더 많은 청중들 앞에서 발표해보는 좋은 경험을 했습니다.


스피치 때 사용할 소품으로 소중한 임영웅굳즈- 티셔츠, 헤어핀과 응원봉을 빌려주신 엄마감사했습니다! 그리고, 엄마 덕분에 제가 희망찬 내용으로 스피치할 수 있었어요, 고마워요, 엄마 항상 건강하세요!




How precious are time and memories with our loved ones?
Sometimes, simply trying to create those moments makes us 카지노 쿠폰oes in our own lives.


Contest chair, fellow Toastmasters, and honored guests...


Can you remember what you were doing on April 10th, 2024? (Pause)
I do... (Pause)I was at an internet café laser-focused practicing my mouse-clicking speed to secure seats on the ticketing app.


Then, a photo popped up in our family group chat,
my siblings looked nervous.
So, I took a selfie and sent it to them... to show how determined I was.


We waited eagerly until... 8 p.m.(Pause)
Yes, (Pause)our nervousness stemmed from something else.
(Move to the left of the stage)It was war — (Pause)the ticketing war for Lim Young-woong’s 카지노 쿠폰.


Lim Young-woong is a beloved Korean singer,especially adored by seniors.
His name, Young-woong, means "카지노 쿠폰o" in English.
That’s why his fandom is called 카지노 쿠폰o Generation.


(Move to the center of the stage)


My mom is a proud member of 카지노 쿠폰o Generation.
Two years ago, she was fortunate enough to go to his 카지노 쿠폰.
I accompanied 카지노 쿠폰 as 카지노 쿠폰 driver.


It felt like stepping into a whole new world.
Tens of thousands of fans, mostly elderly women, dressed in sky blue —
the symbolic color of 카지노 쿠폰o Generation — matching hairpins and waving light sticks.


It had been so long since I had seen my mom smile like that.
(Move to the right of the stage)That’s why... my three siblings and I willingly jumped into the ticketing war.


We prepared for battle.
All we had to do... was buy at least one ticket.
I stared intently at the ticketing website.


(Move to the left of the stage)


Five minutes before – (Pause)I checked that all my payment info was ready. Check!

Four minutes before – (Pause)I reviewed all the ticketing tips from experts. Check!

Three minutes before – (Pause)I steeled myself to wait patiently...no matter how many people would be ahead of me.

Two minutes before – (Pause)My hand over the mouse... began trembling.

One minute before –(Pause)I kept refreshing the site again and again.


Then, 8 o’clock! (Pause)
I started clicking like lightning — only to find... 543,357 people were ahead of me! (Pause)
Not bad. (Pause)


From t카지노 쿠폰e, I kept my eyes glued to the number on the screen.
It was gradually decreasing —


(Get closer to the front of the stage)


100,000... (Pause)
10,000... (Pause)

1,000... (Pause)500... (Pause)100... 70... 50... 15... 5...
0! (Pause)


You know what? (Pause)
A rush of dopamine exploded within me.
This was the moment... (Pause)I had prepared for.


I was about to select seats — (Pause)


Boom! (Pause)
More than 2 million people were ahead of me!(Pause)


Back to square one.


Then, it was 8:30 p.m.


My siblings had already given up and gone home. But, I decided to wait a little longer.

At 9:00 p.m., finally... all tickets were sold out.

That’s when I truly understood why the top trending keyword that day was:

(Move to the right of the stage) “Mom, sorry!”


Drained of all energy, I went home... feeling guilty.

(Move to the center of the stage) But thisstory... doesn’t end there.


My mom amazingly managed to attend the May 카지노 쿠폰. My eldest sister miraculously secured three tickets. This time, my mom was escorted by her two daughters.


And she said: “Daughters, it was the greatest performance that I’ve ever seen… and thank you for making me the happiest woman!”


Then... two months later, she collapsed... and was rushed to the emergency room. We almost lost 카지노 쿠폰 due to heart failure.


Numbers like 카지노 쿠폰 oxygen saturation level, heart function rate, and the uncertain years ahead... make every day difficult for us.


(Move to the left of the stage) While in the hospital, we listened to Lim Young-woong’s songs together. How comforting his songs were, as if my late father... was singing them.


I hope for the day my mom can go to Lim Young-woong’s 카지노 쿠폰 again — this year, next year, and beyond.


(Move to the center of the stage) We are ready to go on another journey to Hero’s 카지노 쿠폰, with my mom.


Because in the end, making time and memories is — how we become 카지노 쿠폰oes in each ot카지노 쿠폰’s lives.
