Importance of Note-Taking
Introduction: Inspiration Doesn’t Come from a Fancy Desk – The Power of Note-Taking
Hello, I am Min-Siljang, the head of ‘Wooyeonhi’, a production company that refines every moment into a narrative. Many believe that creative inspiration comes from a grand studio or a quiet cafe. However, for someone like me who is always on-site, inspiration often arrives unannounced in a dusty warehouse or during a hectic commute. Today, I want to share how I gathered fragments of daily life to complete the play <The Agent> and the crucial importance of note-taking in that process.
1. My Smallest Writing Studio, ‘KakaoTalk Chat with Myself’
Many people use ‘KakaoTalk Chat with Myself’ simply for grocery lists or reminders. But for me, this space was the most intense writing studio where <The Agent> was born.
- Live Reporting from the Scene: While working as an on-site agent, I often had to eat a sandwich in a 1.6-square-meter warehouse to avoid the eyes of VIPs. I immediately opened KakaoTalk to capture those raw emotions.
- Recording Fragmented Scenes:
- “The contrast between the distant sound of popping champagne and the crinkle of plastic in the warehouse.”
- “The weary eyes of Agent A, the silence contained in a single piece of kimbap.”
- “The emptiness of looking at the vacant seats after the event layout is finished.”
These snippets thrown into KakaoTalk eventually gathered to become the sturdy backbone of a creative play script.
2. The Moment Scattered Notes Became <The Agent>
The hundreds of messages piled up in KakaoTalk were not mere scribbles. The true importance of notes is proven when they ‘connect’.
- Reconstructing the Absurd: Reviewing the KakaoTalk chat on my way home, I began to see the context of social absurdity that I hadn’t noticed while on-site.
- The Power of Min-Siljang’s Creation: A single line in the chat—”Why must we be erased?”—became the core theme of the play. Fragmented scenes connected, and finally, the play <The Agent> was completed.
3. Harmony Between Smart Devices and Analog Sensibility
While I pursue smart production using DJI Mic 3 and Pocket 3, the starting point is always the most primitive ‘recording’.
- Mobility of Digital Notes: KakaoTalk notes are ideal for preserving the sense of the field because they can hold photos, voices, and text simultaneously.
- The Essence of Creation: No matter how technology advances, what moves the audience’s heart is not fancy equipment, but the ‘sincere observation’ left on a sandwich wrapper or in a chat room.
4. In 2026, Your Daily Life Will Become a Play
The story written in a tiny warehouse corner will now bloom through the voices of actors on the stage of Daehak-ro in 2026. <The Agent> will be a time to prove the ‘real lives’ of numerous agents who were once archived only in my chat room.
Conclusion: Writing is a ‘Courtesy’ to Things That Fade Away
The reason I emphasize the importance of note-taking is simple: if you don’t record it, it disappears. Capturing the days of agents who almost vanished without a name and bringing them to the stage—that is why ‘Wooyeonhi’ exists.
What truths are recorded in your ‘Chat with Myself’ today? A simple record might just turn your life into a play.
