Prologue - A 63-year-old extreme adult with no expectations, am I a celebrity?

Only you would know
How old are you?
Take the lead in the audition~
I'm doing it all for you
Are you really going to ignore my sincerity?
Hey, do you only carry your lungs?
Losing is not an easy thing
Memories of Paris Benz
The Little Prince's French skills
Be careful, okay?
If you were me, would you be doing well?
The most beautiful woman in France
There is no right answer
What if a person suddenly changes?
The line between joke and seriousness
The Truth About the Guillotine
Where is Descartes' head?
A society where it's okay to ask why
A situation where I wanted to do well but got screwed
Just open it again
I won't do it again
Kebab, it depends
There is such a deep meaning in a toast
To overcome any obstacle
Take it easy, Jjascha
I don't even know my life
On the first lane of the Autobahn
Being ignorant makes some things comfortable
Me too I'm just like that
Joking with your life at stake
What I dropped into the water that day
Get your butt kicked by the guy you trust
The reason I live, Mom
There really isn't much to prepare.
Very easy to bury
Your suffering is my joy
What are you trying to do, Jjascha?
You have to pay the price for arrogance
It doesn't even cost money
You don't trust me? Yeah, I don't.
Excuse me, are you T?
It's so easy to become enemies
It's something we all do to survive.
I have committed a mortal sin
Hey friend, how are you doing?
There is also urine towards the unit.
I work hard but I'm not smart
Do you avoid poop because you're scared of it or because it's dirty?
Stalking and love are only a sheet of paper apart.
If you start right, you can see the end.
We don't have money, do we?
I told you not to come, Emma
I said the result was a jackpot

“I dare say that among the new faces of 2024,
“It is definitely the best.”
“The world’s ups and downs are solved by someone who has experienced life’s trials and tribulations.
The rough story should be called 'Il-yeong'

Professor Jeong Il-young, who appeared like a comet through the Calm Man YouTube channel by chance, is not an influencer, doesn't know much about YouTube, and doesn't know much about current trends.
Many students know him at the school where he teaches, and he is said to be called "God" in the French language proficiency test "DELF", but the public does not know him because he is not a famous professor and has never appeared on TV.

However, he lived in France for 10 years, received a master's degree and doctorate in linguistics from the University of Paris 8, returned to Korea and taught French for the EBS College Scholastic Ability Test for about 12 years, has been teaching French at universities for over 25 years, and is also the representative French instructor at Siwon School, so he can be considered an expert on France.

However, the characteristic academic atmosphere and noble air that one might expect from a French professor are nowhere to be found in Professor Jeong Il-yeong.
Professor Jeong, who honestly says that he was able to study abroad in France for 10 years and earn his degree thanks to his parents, is not only free from pretense, but also has a genuine charm that makes some say that he is the image of the "middle-aged man" that this era wants.

Subscribers were left wondering if he really had an 'introverted' personality, as he ran through the broadcast, only looking at the calm man and unable to read the comments section due to old age. Subscribers sent him enthusiastic support, saying, "2024's top new face on Chimtube" and "Please call Teacher Il-young again~"

I dare say that he is definitely the best among the 2024 new faces (kecerking)
The Calm Man recruiting team is really good at their job ㅋㅋㅋ How do they find these weirdos (Minsoo) ㅋㅋㅋ Thank you so much for recruiting Minsoo~ (Jo-jj)
He keeps telling funny stories, but he doesn't laugh at all (jusu-ricement7393)
This is a new genre. The noun 'Il-yeong' is more appropriate than 'OO Min-su'.
The rough tales of those who have experienced the hardships of life should be called "Il-yeong" (wininin2.v-21).

“You are not an extreme introvert.”
Extreme! Extreme inner strength / It's like my life / Seong! Because I succeeded

Among extroverts, introverts and shy people are said to be 'sucked out'.
When Professor Jeong Il-yeong called himself "extremely introverted," one subscriber, rather than being offended, commented with a sense of humor about his contradictory appearance, saying, "Isn't he the type of person who only says 'my' words?"

“I don’t think so, but I’m ‘extremely intolerant.’
After class, students write course evaluations.
“If you get even one bad course evaluation, it lasts the entire semester.”

Professor Jeong Il-yeong, who said that receiving negative feedback in his lecture evaluations would bother him for an entire semester, realizes that being introverted doesn't mean he can't say what he wants to say or express himself in front of others.


“Even when I get older, I definitely want to do what I wanted to do.
Don't give up on your dreams, they say that if you have the will to do it, opportunities will arise.
“I appeared on YouTube because I wanted to tell a story.”

Even extroverted people often get nervous on stage and are unable to perform to their full potential.
Sometimes, the hidden potential and hidden talents of an introvert are greater than those of an extrovert.
Just like Professor Jeong.

Courage for the introverted you

Of course, Professor Jeong Il-yeong is showing his talents to the public at a late age, but he wants to show that even someone like him, even someone with an extremely introverted personality, can do it at any time.
So, Professor Jeong, as a unique 'Il-Young' self who lived as an extremely introverted and out-of-the-box intellectual in Korea, introduces in this book the amusing and absurd episodes he experienced in France and Korea.

In one of those episodes, a male student is said to have said this to himself as he lay on a bench on a college campus in the cold late autumn wind, with the complicated thought that he would soon have to leave school after 25 years of working as a peddler.
“Grandpa, if you sleep here, you’ll be in big trouble.
“My mouth is spinning.”
Professor Jeong answers the student like this.
“Oh, don’t mind me and just go on your way.
“Just leave it alone, whether it’s Nam Isa’s mouth or head.”
The life story told by Professor Jeong Il-yeong, who tells us not to worry about what other people say or do while lying on a bench on a college campus, is sad but funny, and unpleasant but good.
Professor Jeong said that he felt a great sense of responsibility because this was his first time publishing a book of essays, having only published French textbooks, and he urged everyone who knew him and all introverts to buy this book.
