Memoir

People often say “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” Describe a time when you misjudged someone based on his or her appearance or when someone misjudged you.

Mistaking an Angel for a Something Awful

   Choi Siwon is an actor, singer, dancer and a member of my favorite Korean boy band Super Junior. He is also someone who I completely misjudged the moment I saw him. He was absolutely, breathtaking, he had nice face, the most adorable smile, and on top of all of that, he had abs. I was watching a game show on the KBS Korean Channel and, I automatically. My first impression of him was that he was a baram-doong-i, which is Koran for a playboy or some one who is smooth with the ladies. I thought he was just a plan player and someone who used his fame to get girls. Then I came to the conclusion that he was a bad person who just used women. I got all of this from just one look, but I was terribly wrong. 

   He is the total opposite of what I taught he was. For starters he is no were near a baram-doong-i. In fact, he is shy around girls and treats them with the upmost respect. He is a perfect gentlemen. He also is a devoted to Protestantism, which is the form of Christianity he grew up in. Therefore, the whole playboy thing is automatically out since he is very serious when it comes to relationships.  He is very nice and loves his fans. He is close with his fans and always thanks them is special ways. Now I am one of his biggest fans. He even bowed down to his fans at the end of the SM Town Live Concern in LA at the staple center, which I went to, to thank them for coming. I nearly cried that was so sweet of him.

    I now laugh at myself for now thinking about how I made the mistake of calling him a baram-doong-i. He is far from it. He is a good person and has a genuine love for women in a respectful way. He sticks to doing good in his life and is very kind. I don’t know how I made the mistake of thinking that he was an awful person. From this, I have learned, to never judge a book by its cover because you can mistake an angel for a something awful.
