A world in whose dictionaries you would find nothing between ‘mist’ and ‘mistal’… Yes, a world where there are no Mistakes, no accidents, but no miracles, and no serendipities either. A world guided by the cosmic order, just like how the Stoics had envisioned… Relax. 김나언 Julie Kim 김혜지 Hyejee Kim 이돈성 Donsung Rhee Visual Art/ 시각예술 황준하 Junha Hwang* 유재민 Gabbie Yu 김동제 Dongjae Kim Graphic Design/ 그래픽 디자인 황준하 Junha Hwang* 김동제 Dongjae Kim Public Relations 남재헌 Jaehurn Nam* 오승헌 Nick Oh* 이은정 Eunjung Lee 부예빈 Ysabelle Boo 권유지 Kwan Yu-ji 정상윤 Sangyoon Jung 이세은 Se Eun Lee Fortunately, this is not the world we live in. In our world, people make mistakes all the time. Eureka! Just when you finish solving the most difficult question on the math final exam, you slip the zero and your dreams of a perfect math score crumble into pieces. Or even the other way around: the accidental crack in an artwork you’ve labored over eight years turns out to be the key to your success. Accident or miracle. Call it as you like. In essence, Mistakes are what truly make life interesting. Take time reading through the following hundred pages of poems, stories, essays, and art. In fact you have four solid months to enjoy (Next edition in December). You will be amazed at the dazzling stories teenagers your age have put into paper. And if you become truly inspired, join the crew. Take part in the movement for promoting teenage art and literature yourself. As the Editor in Chief, I want to thank all the writers and painters who have created such wonderful works, you are the artists of today and tomorrow. I want to thank the entire Between the Lines (BTL) crew, without your hard work BTL would not be what it is today. I want to thank the Chief Director, Yunha Hwang, she has done such an amazing job growing BTL and making sure that this amazing magazine continues even after her graduation. And finally I want to thank You. Where and how would teenagers burst out their artistic passions, had it not been for Your interest and support? So sit back, and enjoy. It’s your show. It was never a mistake that BTL was created. Best wishes, Editor in Chief, Yong Jun Byun
