Quando mi dicevano «Accetta le sfide e combatti con passione!», ribattevo forte e chiaro: «Ma voi l’avete costruito, un mondo che ripaga in base a quanto uno lavora con passione?». E ora la vecchia generazione sono io. Se dopo vent'anni il mondo fa schifo come prima, non ho più diritto di criticare gli altri. È colpa mia. Sono io che ho sbagliato. Se il mondo non è un bel posto, non ci sono altri responsabili se non me stesso."-Bae Myung-hoon, Tower
