1. Dating before marriage
I met my wife in the fall of 2016. We had a weekend date at that time. I worked in Gangneung during the week and only went to Pohang on the weekends. Everyone dates in a different way, and ours wasn’t particularly unique either. Initially, We went to Gyeongju, a nearby historical and touristic city, to ride a bike and had dinner. A short distance from Pohang in Cheongdo is the amusement park Provence, where we had a happy day. Our weekend date locations changed as we couldn’t always go to the same place. We also went to the Busan Aquarium to see a variety of marine creatures and walked around Yeongildae, saw POSCO at night view in Pohang. It had been a good time before rashes and sneezing by car tinting occured.
2. Experience in car tinting
1) LASIK of my wife
My wife had received LASIK in the summer of 2016, before we began dating deeply. So She requested that I got the car tinted in order to shield her eyes from the sun’s rays. After understanding that, I looked up information regarding car tinting and, with my coworker’s assistance, located a firm that offered the service. It was time for me to head to Pohang on Friday night once again, as the weekend approached. I went to Pohang to meet my wife, and we went home each other that evening after our little meeting. The next morning, I woke up early and headed to the car shop to get my car tinted. I made the decision to go ahead with the tinting after meeting with the shop owner and going over the process.

2) Dating after the tinting
Tinting required stripping off the old tinting paper and reapplying fresh material, which took roughly three hours. After tinting my car, the interior was no longer easily visible, and it had a grand feel than before. The owner of the business ended the tinting process on that particular day, cautioning that “you must not lower or raise the window carelessly.”
After tinting the car’s glass, I picked up my wife and we headed on a date. The fact that the automobile window was tinted on all sides made her very happy. Its interior was hidden from the outside view, and during the day, the sun did not shine inside, which was why I found it very attractive. And that day, I chose to stay local and have a cup of coffee at a beachside cafe.
3) Rashes and sneezing through my car tinting
One day later, I went to church and while I waited for my wife, I attended meetings at the church and completed some personal work. We had dinner following all meetings, and I drove her home and went to Gangneung dispatch site. And then I was alone, so I listened to music and the radio. But after a while I sneezed. I could not know the source of the sneezing at first. But after some consideration, I realized that it was probably the automobile window tinting. Unknown chemicals from it were entering my respiratory system. I drove up to my lodging station with the car window slightly open in winter. At that time the number of sneezes considerably decreased after a while of driving with the window open, but rashes started to emerge on the forehead of my face.
3. Untill stopping rashes and sneezing by tinting
To minimize the amount of unknown chemicals released from the tinting, while driving and parking, I opened the car window slightly. In my opinion, the tinting paper did released chemicals a lot. Rashes and sneezing disappeared after about three months, even with the window closed. In other words, I believed that after three months, chemicals from the tinting paper didn’t affect my respiratory system. Since then, the chemicals released from automobile tinting have not caused rashes and sneezing, and I could drive without any sneezing. I believe I should give careful thought to not get a new car tinting in the future in view of this experience such as rashes and sneezing.
