What makes the Joker the best villain is his hatred of Batman. What made Neyman the best drummer was his hatred of Fletcher. Those feelings weren’t just hatred – it was also the desperate affection to find their meaning of life from the subject. Therefore, I’d say it was also the love and hate for Chung-Ang Herald that put me in this position of editor-in-chief.

From the day I saw that poster off the wall, recruiting for the 69^th cub reporters, being the editor-in-chief has been my long-cherished dream. I spent countless hours and endless effort as a reporter and to create a good magazine. I scrutinized through the office as if I were getting to know myself, and wrote down CAH's goals alongside my personal dreams. But what I realized after a long time spent here was that this place was far from perfect. I hated this place as much as I loved it. There were many days I doubted whether CAH was meeting its calling as a university press, or whether we were satisfying the role of media to our readers. The fundamental limitations as an ‘English monthly magazine,’ and problems that inevitably arose from colliding with people inside and out of the organization turned the burning passion of a cub reporter into resignation and resentment. But despite the bitter disappointment as high as my expectations were, I didn't want to run away. I couldn't let go of the hope that this place, which has given me valuable enlightenment and experiences over the past years, could (and should) be much more than this. In the end, I was able to love this place as much as I hated it.

It was not until I took responsibility for my love and hatred in the name of editor-in-chief, that I was able to put down my negative emotions and look around properly. I am grateful to our 68^th editors and 69^th reporters who have worked hard over the past year to make changes for the better, and to all the seniors who have gone through and are still with us to this day. The affection and passion they showed to CAH, and the good memories they loaded me are the reasons why I love and decided to remain here. I hope me and our 70^th reporters can return the supports left to this organization, and above all, I hope that the efforts of many people in this magazine could reach our readers. You have always been there while I was caught up by the shortcomings of this place, and it seems that I can only now express my sincere thanks to you. I send only love to our readers and am looking forward to the next year of CAH with you.
