So are Ki-woong and Hae-in away on their honeymoon or something? No, really, I don't recognize them in the picture.

BTW, the guy in jeans at far right is Lee Teok-keon, the director.

Haein is in the back row, third from the right and Kiwoong is to left of his "dad" wearing a baseball hat and flashing the peace sign. Actually, upon further review, many of them are flashing the peace sign (yeah, look for me at the Grateful Dead show, I'll be wearing a tie-dye )

When we had the get-together for KBS-World at Kathleen's last summer, they were surprised at our relucance to flash the two-finger salute or wave vigorously when we said "Sarangsi KBS World" for the camera.
When they saw it in Korea, they probably thought "Boy, those Americans are a bunch of stiffs!" ;D

What, have we all forgotten our (geez, it was practically a reflex action) immediate desire to do that very thing behind the head of another person , which actually was to mimic a Native American headdress, at every photo opportunity? I wonder now what the meaning of the symbol is in Korea?

You're absolutely right, it was bunny ears; but when you did it to yourself, it was part of a child's imitation of a Native American. So, my guess is that Korean culture lacked a hippie movement, making the "V" more akin to Churcill's gesture?

I could be wrong, but that guy looks like Byung-do. Maybe. I went back and forthe several times whether I wanted to say that or not. Here is the director by himself: I just have problems imagining Byoung-doo wearing jeans, even when he's not in costume.

My interpretation of the Korean inclination to flash the "peace" sign is to symbolize the desire for the reunification of North and South Korea one day. I base that on absolutely nothing more than my own heartfelt/romantic notion though!
Hey... doesn't Grandma look splendid in that snapshot?
