Um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, um, ah, 4, correct. Hello. I am visible. Uh, 5, and then at night, it's flipped. Uh, you all worked hard. First of all, congratulations. Uh, uh, eo, ah, uh, jre Academy, as in East Asia, uh, uh, I have tried to experience it. This year's goal is to find information. 2, I have done it. Ah, it is a pity that about 6000 people are excluded. Ah, it is very regrettable. Now, it's done. Ah, you guys, uh, uh, uh, uh, this side is a bit shoddy. Uh, uh, who is it? Uh, like this, and o, which company? Uh, if you think about it, you can study and do it. It's too hard to live, and companies are often not. I am done.
Uh, is it because we like the character set? Uh, our friends are worried, uh, and have prepared. Uh, so I read the 18th chapter. You guys, I express my support for Korea's future. If you have a welcoming atmosphere, you can do it. The electronic materials are covered, and we have to sleep. I'm trying. 4. Then, uh, we have clearly set it up in the 18th year. We are in a position where we don't have the ability this year. Uh, uh, well, it's not given. Uh, it's easy to induce, and there was a lot of state affairs.
Uh, all of you, today, starting with the start of the seminar, is the meaning of four ways. 5. What is the meaning of 60s? Uh, we have to do it, and it's for future generations. You can understand it by thinking of it as our future. And you can solve it. In fact, for a normal country, a specific generation is tied to the future. When you inquire, does it mean the entire generation? 20004 places. When discussing fairness in the year 2000, e.
Also, the spring and summer people in this position have jobs. When that opens up, is it a good person? Is it a Christ-like person? If I give you a lot, I've tried it, and what? Eventually, it's a relapse. It's a failure to get a job. Everyone knows. Look out o, uh, ah, ah, the community. I know it as a national company. Uh, if the people who are involved are, then does it mean only the generation? I don't think so now. I can't.
The subject is a plan, but is there a problem with the trade system? Now, here, compared to the foreign policy for the comparison, then the future for diplomacy is a shortcut. No, it's not a shortcut. Uh, it's not that it's not possible, but it's in the future. There are advantages in everything that is happening now. And in Seoul, there are various diplomatic powers being born. Now, the third generation is following the same problem. In the context of the 6th generation, we will be taking it step by step. And from today, over the next few days, uh, uh, because of the training period, and I think this is a period.
Uh, it's done, and then there's a place to come out. Uh, this is, uh, I'll see you here. You're all in your 20s and 30s. Uh, you should be. It's not there. Uh, to put it briefly, uh, the candle is in the 20s, and it's a pioneering generation. Uh, uh, uh, ah, 5, uh, let's try it. E, except for that. Uh, university students. Uh, frankly, they are flying these days. Uh, ah, uh, please acknowledge it. And we are going down. So, uh, on the side of the subject. 2. - There is. This, uh, uh, we are supporting them.
So, considering the shock, why am I talking about this? I'm following the system. A few people are cooperating. 5. Uh, uh, this menu exists. Ah, yes. Okay. 4. Let's go. Yes. However, you guys are through the inspection. You should shake it and write it. Uh, I'm going to explain it. Uh, there are also people who have done it. I'm talking about the future and its meaning. How much is it reliable? Uh, we, 5, uh, well. And the ninja, who came from the side, we planned to cover the part for ten years. And then, the conflict that arises then, uh, the system that determines the future is like this.
There is no diplomatic technique for the sea. Uh, aio, uh, I don't know if it's wrong because I don't have any data. Uh, I don't know if it's wrong. I don't know. Uh, university, British, Korean, 5. It's really a shame. Uh, I'm talking about it. Uh, office automation terminal. Uh, because there are changes in dimensions, there is a story about wireless. Uh, the answer and nature, 6. If you are looking for this book, you are a person. It's a bit like that. Uh, looking back at the technology, it's already a business. What is it like in society? Today, and what I will say in the future, the secret to the problem will be the weapon. Then, you will experience it greatly. This is what I'm asking for. I'm just remembering it now.
I'm going out. Uh, ah, uh, 1st, 14th, 2nd. If you look at the educational council, you all know it well, but in the three countries, there is a professor's position. When that is put in place, it is a system. There is anger, and then there is the introduction of the person. And the destruction. Preparing. Right? It's something that shows up well. Ah, uh, um, for example, the Korean Peninsula's economy is expected to expand by 5 times. We are working with it.
Ah, when it comes to reproduction, it is understandable that there is an emphasis on reproduction. The scale is not as large as the United States, but it has economic power. So, if you say you have the ability, then it will definitely be requested. I think about what two people would do if they knew. However, the scale is different. 54. Uh, yes. We cannot. Ah, let's talk about our points. About ten years ago and thirty years ago, ah, when I listen to you, it's a matter of time. So, I, uh, uh, you, my generation, 40 to 70, I don't know. I'm going to go in with a full-scale bank transaction. But I don't know. Is it just the sedimentation of that university? I'm telling you, this is what's happening. Ah, this is happening next to you. It might be attached to you. Ah, and please take a look. It will be remembered as a historical site.
The outlook is introduced. I attended Samjeondo University. And to those who are at the university, what is Korea? And what is the junk regime? It was a concern. The existing naval power and the Republic of Korea. This is what we can say is coming. You must clearly state your birth. Uh, therefore, in that context, uh, the choice of diplomacy is open. Uh, I'm talking about it. Uh, the sea. Uh, the seas are caught and covered with boards. You guys should think about it. We are confronting the United States. We are cooperating. This is the extent of the argument. We learn to pursue more.
You who are preparing, you guys, from now on, the problem has been created. This fish, what about the rest? The remaining years are passed on. And who will inherit it? Who will take over? 960, like the most important translation, is a combination of support. They were promoted to the highest level. And above that, 2. I hope you can form it. You guys, you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys, you guys. Uh, and, uh, the specific group. * This is serious. Uh, uh, uh, the sky. We made it an opportunity.
Uh, we are thinking about securing the residential area. Uh, uh, this is a company. And those people. Uh, right now, you're looking at me. 2. It's called 986. * The period is to send you. Because the seniors also started. And the 386 generation will answer in ten years. And the entire country. Uh, my generation is 1000. Uh, the golden age of Korea. wet. It's a complete misunderstanding. I say it's bad. 5. So, uh, uh. The problem of the friend's transfer is that it cannot be done. I'm looking at it.
Ah, ou. Where should this identical country be? And it will cause problems with old ownership and old customs. The topic was what was coming. However, the expression is not just a movie, but various. Uh, is it a report? You guys must be prepared. Good. Uh, it will be an opportunity. So, uh, beyond that, uh, the heart of Korea. Uh, is there anything that is not monitored? Uh, uh, is there anything that is not asked? Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh. What is the dignity of Korea? If you like disconnection, then uh, uh, uh, okay. Uh, uh, ah, ah, ah.
