Bae Sang-min "Admission to Parsons Without Admission Education, Secrets Are Skills" (All The Butlers)
In the SBS entertainment program 'All The Butlers' broadcasted on the last two days, Professor Bae Sang-min, who is a designist who made a stroke in the industrial design industry, appeared as a master and talked.
Bae Sang-min was appointed Professor of Parsons Design School, one of the three major design schools in the United States, at the age of 27 as the first and youngest Korean. In addition, Bae Sang-min has also been a professor at KAIST and a president of L-company design center, a large company.
Bae Sang-min, who entered Parsons Design School and later became the youngest professor, was surprised to say that he had never received an entrance examination education related to art at the time of his admission. "I'm not a person who was educated in art entrance exams, but that was rather an advantage: I found out that I wanted to design after wandering around looking for what I wanted to do in my childhood. At the time, Parsons was a dream school, and I thought, 'Can I apply?' "
"At the time, Parsons' admissions was a self-portrait," he said. "Everyone painted too well, but I thought that there was a new way to draw it because I could not draw it like that. So I went to the hospital and took an X-ray, and I painted a rough picture of it with oil on it, and I submitted a self-portrait. The self-portrait is my whole body, but everyone draws their faces. "He said that he was able to pass because of his different thoughts.
"I later selected students as Professor Parsons, and at that time, many college students from famous universities in Korea supported me. Korean students are so impressed at first because they draw pictures so well, but they are all the same. Parsons picks a brilliant, smart student who thinks differently from others. It is a turn-on contest, who is better off, and it is a place where students use their tongues to do crazy things. "
In particular, Bae Sang-min was able to become a professor at Parsons Design School at the age of 27, saying, "Korea can only be a professor with a doctorate, but there is no degree. I think that person's design ability is more important. "
"I have had a lot of serious failures that I want to erase in my life," he said. After graduating from college, I got a job in a good place, and my best Friend resigned to start a business and set up a company. But then Friend betrayed me, and with my idea, his brothers set up a company, and I had to start a company by myself, and no one gave me a job. For six months, he had no income, spent all his monthly income and had only 89 cents (about 900 won). I was able to survive from that work, "recalling the difficult past.
In addition, Bae Sang-min said, "Memoir of War" is the key to creating ideas constantly. So I put all the ideas I usually think of in Memoir of War. I plant Kwon Kyung-won in my brain. Curiously, if you plant Kwon Kyung-won in your brain, the brain thinks about itself even if I do not think separately. So if you plant a lot of Kwon Kyung-won, someone pulls the trigger and it blows out. Creativity is needed in every job. From my point of view, I would like to think about what I should do and do Memoir of War. "
