Your daughter is very smart
Description
Book Introduction
Single! Non-dating! Our path forward! A shocking feminist essay It's cheerful but not light, I have so much to say! It contains the story of Kang Min-ji and Seo Sol, who run the women's media YouTube channel 'Hamalneomman', which has 165,000 subscribers and 8.3 million cumulative views. The author is breaking free from the femininity society demands and forging her own path. The two people, who showed signs of becoming great people from a young age, humorously share their experiences while running a feminist YouTube channel, as well as their concerns about how to live 'well' as women in Korean society. It talks about the inevitable challenges faced by women who declare themselves single in a Korean society that promotes marriage as the only way to live. It honestly conveys the reality of having to compete with newlyweds on unfavorable terms when looking for a home and having to live with the burden of having to worry about your parents who may have given you a wedding gift in the future, but it also shows the steps you take with the hope that the world will change little by little. This book, which contains the footsteps of those who moved forward without being discouraged or giving up, will be a comfort to countless women living in this era. |

Into the book
But I like that I grew up as a 'strong woman' who could call out what was wrong.
And I hope that everyone who reads this book will become a strong woman who eats well and lives well.
I hope that a world will come where the presence of a strong-willed girl will not offend anyone.
What's wrong with a woman being strong?
--- p.18~19, from “Your daughter is so cute”
It was nice to know that although it was from the bird's point of view, it was ultimately me who created the bird.
The feeling of being able to look down on the world from above was in itself a feeling of broadening one's horizons.
As I watched the drone's wings flapping in rapid flight, I wanted to call it 'Sol's eye view' instead of 'Bird's eye view'.
I promised myself that I would continue to see the world the way I want to and take pictures of what I want to take.
--- p.43, from “From Tick-Tocks to Drones”
On the one hand, I had to deeply reflect on how my financial situation had limited my possibilities so far.
It wasn't just about traveling, but I wondered how much of every decision I made was determined by my bank balance.
As mentioned earlier, my tendency to prefer small budgets has always made me weigh the value of money and experience in any situation.
Even the decisions I made, thinking they were rational in their own way, might not have ended up being decided based on my financial situation at the time.
I feel sorry for the time I spent not being able to see far ahead and wasting so much on the temporary rewards right in front of me.
So, even though it was difficult, I started saving up a little bit of emergency money for my future.
So that we don't give up great value for a few pennies.
--- p.70, from “Unexpected Life Studies”
And if I had to add something, it would be “Try hard,” because I am wary of accumulating experiences of failure due to not giving my best.
If our channel had been showcasing videos made roughly from scratch, would we have gotten this far? It's a simple proposition, if you think about it.
I think luck avoids the unprepared like a ghost.
It is a clear blessing that a variety of experiences accumulate in human life.
However, we must not accumulate failures without enthusiasm for that diversity.
I believe that the path of failure that inevitably comes despite doing your best and the path of failure that you inevitably walk while only shouting that you will work hard produce completely different results in growth.
When people become accustomed to repeated failures, they become powerless and eventually lose the motivation to try new things.
--- p.87, from "GO Even If You Can't Eat"
The results were good and some were not, but we know that everything we dream of now will appear before our eyes in some form or another 10 or 20 years from now.
We, who dreamed of a complex cultural performance, finally created a complex exhibition that combined performance and exhibition with our own capital in 2020.
--- p.96, from “War with Documents”
“Being born as a woman, getting a job at a suitable place, working at a company, retiring at an appropriate time, and living an ordinary life is a mission in itself.
“The very idea of taking root and enduring in this society is a difficult sentence to achieve without ambition.”
It was sad, but true.
I wondered what it means to live a 'normal' life for a woman.
Until now, this is what it meant for women to live a 'normal' life in Korean society.
A life where you earn a low wage, pay high rent, find a suitable man when you reach marriageable age, get married, have children, and raise them, and at some point, your career is interrupted.
When women declared that they would never marry, cut their hair short, and stop wearing makeup, the words many adults used to say to us, “Live an ordinary life like everyone else,” had that kind of meaning.
In fact, declaring that one would not follow the path set by a society that had already been established to some extent required ambition.
Somehow, I felt betrayed by the sentence, 'Living an ordinary life is the best.'
--- p.175~176, from “Do I really need to have ambition?”
Of course, it is impossible for me to control everything that surrounds me in reality.
On rainy days, your shoes will get wet, and when the sun rises, you can't hide your shadow.
But I'm grateful that I can at least expand my own possibilities in reality, like being able to combine some elements directly within C4D.
My X, Y, and Z axes are expanding today as well, thanks to the abilities I acquire in life, the new relationships I gain, and the new combinations of those relationships.
--- p.190, from "Rendering 100%"
As a woman, I was scared to tell a woman's story.
Even though I'm a woman and a documentary maker, I was always thinking, "How can I tell women's stories? I don't know much about women. Can I speak for feminists?"
It feels like I can only speak if I am given a passing grade necklace.
Because of this process, we know that it takes a long time for women to identify themselves as feminists.
However, there is no qualification required for a woman to be a feminist.
--- p.192, from “The Microphone I Missed”
I often get asked where the motivation to start and continue something new comes from.
Every time, I said, "I'm just doing it," but in fact, behind it is trust and loyalty to my colleagues.
If there is a wind, I hope that more women will have the opportunity to experience diverse relationships with other women and the synergy that comes from those relationships.
I hope we can learn together that there are still more opportunities in the world.
And I hope that everyone who reads this book will become a strong woman who eats well and lives well.
I hope that a world will come where the presence of a strong-willed girl will not offend anyone.

Publisher's Review
Defying the gravity of the world, doing whatever we want regardless of what others say
Until the day comes when there is nothing left to say
Let me tell you what I want to say.
In a society where the term "strong woman" carries a negative connotation, the author's confident stance on growing up as a "strong woman" serves as an example to those of us who are easily swayed by society's gaze.
The author says that at some point she realized that she could not live without calling herself a feminist.
At the same time, it explains that there are no specific qualifications required to be a feminist.
The author, who has suffered countless unfair treatment simply because she is a woman, plans a video called "Default Trip," a trip where she sheds the burden of formal labor, and conveys her message in various ways to a society that tries to minimize the problems women face with comments like, "Aren't you being sensitive?"
Although this is a topic that could easily become heavy and serious, the author understands the characteristics of the YouTube medium and presents it in a cheerful and fun way.
Feminism is very closely related to the lives of women living in modern society.
Hamalnumman's way of bringing this into our lives in a spirited and cheerful way is helping women make their voices heard.
The author's wish that the channel would naturally disappear when he had nothing left to say to the world seems to be slowly, if not unceasingly, coming true.
So that every woman can protect her life
Towards the world we dream of, our voices and ambitions grow louder!
The author says that while conducting the “Hamalnumman Talk Concert” in a total of nine cities, he met women in each region and heard about the “isolation” and “loneliness” that women commonly feel.
The author, who runs a YouTube channel with a friend, clearly experiences the power that comes from simply having someone to support you.
The power they have to run their channel is based on the trust they have in each other as friends and coworkers.
That's why we don't just stop at creating content that women can relate to, but we also go beyond that and think about how those who consume our content can actually receive help, and we preach the importance of women's solidarity.
The author also runs a cocktail bar along with a YouTube channel, becoming a N-jobber herself, showing how to expand the possibilities for women in an era when it is not easy to survive as a woman.
I hope that the honest story of Hamalneumman, who continues to challenge new life through various jobs and relationships, will reach all readers of this book with anticipation and a sense of challenge for the future.
