[EBS입트영 5/10] Bobusang 보부상

10 Fri. 

Bobusang / 보부상 

 

The term "Bobusang" refers to people in the old days who carried a bundle on their backs, going around the marketplace selling goods.

Nowadays, it is used jokingly to describe people who carry around a lot of stuff in a large bag.

That describes me to a T.

 

My bag has always been heavy ever since my school days. 

I stuffed it with things I might need, just in case.

As a result of this, chronic shoulder pain has been a constant problem for me. 

 

When I see people around me who barely carry anything in their bags, it sometimes makes me feel uneasy.

With the growing number of digital devices and charging accessories these days, it seems like I may never escape my fate of being a "Bobusang"
