March 2010 Issue


In the March issue of Wind Magazine, the Special Feature Story was on MB Financial Bank for its 30th Anniversary. The cover has some significant people, such as the Senior Vice President, Vice President, and other important people.

Wind Magazine also did a special section called Promising Artists, which are stories about exquisite people and their interest in the arts genre, which includes: music, painting, photographing, etc. These people are an inspiration to many people as these artists are continuing their journey with what they are passionate about. Hyun Shil Moon is a Fusion Musician, who graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, instead of going to Los Angeles or New York to pursue the music industry, came to Chicago and continues following her passion. Ye-Eun Hwang is an artist, in which she draws using Korean paper and a brush. She received an opportunity to study art at the School of Art Institute of Chicago, and she seized it and continues to do what she loves. Kenny Kim immigrated to the United States at age 10 with his family and he studied graphic design at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and he is currently a photographer. Not just any photographer, but a lifestyle wedding photographer, where he could capture people's lives at their happiest moment. Finally, there is Seung Han Sung, who studied cello in Korea, was even part of the (Korean Broadcasting System), or KBS, Symphonic Orchestra, and is currently a performer for the Chicago Civic Orchestra. He is also a commercial director and an independent movie producer/director. He also produced commercials, such as the LG CYON and Samsung. It shows that if they put their mind to it, they can do it. Just look at how these artists ended up here. They followed their dreams and pursued it. Readers can always learn things from articles, such as this, in Wind Magazine.



Another section that was brought to my attention were the professional profiles. Wind is always looking to introduce various Korean professionals and helps them to stand out in the Korean Community-where others can continue encouraging one another and to show them that they're appreciated for their hard work. In this month’s issue, Women who are CPA's (Certified Public Accountant), were featured.



Food for thought...



And, who doesn't love food?? The cooking section was featured on Tomatoes. Tomatoes are not only a vegetable, but are also considered a fruit. Why?? Because it contains seeds. Tomatoes are good for you and are in found in ketchup, tomato sauce (used in pasta/pizza sauces), and are even put on salads. Tomatoes contain an antioxidant called lycopene, which is proven to prevent cancer. It also contains Vitamins A, B, and C and has many minerals. In this section, Chef Suzanne Yoon suggests that Tomatoes just don't have to be used in sauces, but it can be used other ways, and in doing so, she presents fresh and innovative recipes that involve tomatoes. Tomatoes are used to make stew, kimchi, and deon-jang, which are all interesting.
