Chapter 38 Obsessed with social networking site Cyworld

I first fell in love with the social networking site Cyworld in February 2004, chatting with about ten college students in their early twenties about the topic of "politics in the minds of young people".The politics of our country, especially the politics of the Grand National Party, I think there are many things that cannot keep up with the ideas of young people, and the answers should be obtained through dialogue with many young people.How much do young people in our country care about politics, what expectations do they have, and what can they do to approach young people in their twenties? Regarding my questions, a college student said he had a good idea and began to mention the "mini-nest" "This kind of social networking site.

I was very curious to ask questions, and the students began to explain to me what Cyworld is, blogging, adding friends, visiting records of friends, random visits to the mini-nest, and many other functions.One of the students turned on a nearby computer, showed me his mini nest, and demonstrated "running a social networking site." "When running a social networking site, the most interesting thing is the visit records of friends. No matter how good friends are, it is difficult to actually meet every day, isn't it? But running a Cyworld mini nest can be like seeing friends every day. The mood and life of the other party. Operating Cyworld Mini Nest can make friends studying abroad more intimate than friends in Korea.”

The mini nest caught my attention, it sounds and looks great.I asked the assistants if they knew what Cyworld was, and they said they were running it too, and showed off their own mini nests.Through the explanations of the students and the help of the assistants, "Park Geun-hye's Mini Nest (www.cyworld.com/ghism)" was officially born on February 21, 2004. At the beginning, I posted photos of myself when I was a child, and carefully wrote a political life diary.At first, I was not very proficient, so I fumbled for a while, and then I even had a headshot, and even a minime avatar and a miniroom personal space.Slowly, one or two people began to write responses and leave messages on my message board.As time passed, the number gradually increased.Every time I log in, there will be warm messages, friend requests, background music, pine cone gifts, etc. waiting for me.

I don't know when, I even had the symptoms of "mini litter waste". "Who is visiting today? What are the good things to say today? Have netizens responded to daily trivial matters and ideas?" I log into my mini nest every day with full expectations, at least once a day.I also put up those cheesy solo photos from the 70s that have never been released to the media, shared them with my mini-squatter friends, and kept a diary.When netizens saw my sincerity, they all gave warm encouragement and responses.Suddenly I made many online friends, and I was deeply immersed in the warmth and concern of those friends.

"Delegate, tell me frankly, who is running your mini-nest?" Not long ago, my mini-nest had more than five million visitors, so I had a meet and greet meeting with the five millionth visitor, and a reporter sitting on the side asked me this question, and he thought I must be Ask someone else to manage it for you. "Of course I manage it myself. Even my assistants don't know my Cyworld password." In fact, when the schedule of the party representative's "visiting the village" was tight, the people around him always said to me: "You should try to find time to rest and replenish your strength, and stop running the mini nest." They also suggested that I find another person to manage it for me , but I rejected it outright.The mini nest is my own private space, how can I give it to others?What's more, doing that is tantamount to deceiving those friends who think I manage it personally.The photos and articles of "Writer Park Geun-hye" on my mini nest are 100% posted by myself, and every friend who applies to join is also confirmed by my own consent.

Regrettably, due to running a lot of trips every day, I can’t often enter my friend’s mini nest to leave a message, and I can’t join friends in real time. Sometimes there are more than 10,000 netizens waiting for my approval, and there have been friends waiting for me I haven't waited for several months, so I leave a message asking when I will agree.I would like to take this opportunity to express my apologies. I am very sorry and grateful to those netizens who left messages in Mini Wo while waiting for me to accept the friend invitation. This personal space, the mini-nest, also has a considerable impact on my public life. This is an opportunity for me as a politician to reflect on myself.The increase in the number of visitors and the messages on the message board let me know firsthand what kind of politics the people are looking forward to and what problems need to be solved urgently.In particular, users of Cyworld range from students in their teens to seniors over 70 years old. Friends of all ages, regions, and occupations let me know their sorrows and distresses, happiness and happiness, and become This guide to the "people's livelihood politics" that I usually strive for.

Through Cyworld, you can feel the importance of communicating with the public, and you can hear the voices of netizens and exchange opinions with them.I began to feel that the Grand National Party also needs such a cyberspace.A politician's mini den can do so much, let alone a political party's website.If the Grand National Party can have a website, it will definitely receive more responses and suggestions.Thinking of this, I immediately became anxious. As a party representative, I should re-operate the official website of the Grand National Party, which has always been ignored by netizens.I want to create a space, a website space where netizens who care about the Grand National Party can communicate.

In the Grand National Party, the "Digital Party Group" that manages online affairs is staffed by people in their twenties to early thirties.They began to use online questionnaires to collect many opinions, and then created the party's website, completely remodeling it from the outside to the inside.I also try to meet and exchange ideas with the digital political party group as often as possible, and take time to encourage those in charge.Even though it was hard work, no one was tired, and everyone worked with enthusiasm.In this way, not long after, the website of the Grand National Party was launched.

The website of the Grand National Party has new activities every month, such as the family photo contest held in May of the family month, and the activities of members of Congress showing their family photos, which have attracted a lot of popularity.During the Patriotic Month in June, there will be an online flag-hanging event, and an event where congressmen show off their military uniform photos.We also held a joint charity meeting with the online auction network, and donated the proceeds to the Kia Children's Foundation.In the summer, a column called "Park Geun-hye's Summer Fashion Proposal-Charity Bazaar" was opened, and the "Great National Column (also known as the Great Column)" published by members of the Grand National Party and party officials on the official website of the party was also published. A lot of topics were raised.Among them, the thirty-something chairman of the Party Members Association in Seoul (similar to the concept of the regional party in the past) wrote an article titled "Sexy Park Geun-hye" in a column, which made me feel so embarrassed.

The website has also built a space for visitors to directly participate in the speech, and has continuously added various viewing content, and slowly, the number of viewers has also increased. Since the end of April 2005, in the search rankings of some search sites, the website of the Grand National Party has surpassed the website of the ruling party, which has always been ahead, for the first time.Since then, the Grand National Party website has been in the lead, and it is still the same today.
