After reading the above, it comes down to what Shakespeare said in the title of one of his plays: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Went back and forth on this but decided I'd post the following link: www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/inside-north-korea-video-photos-1826234Some unseen images and stories about what goes on in NK. The Mirror isn't exactly the New York Times or Washington Post, but this looks like valid information. There's some very tough stuff in there, very painful to read, so I'm posting it with a warning.

At the risk of being attacked by annoying people who think I mean I don't want to know anything bad, I'm not going to look at your link because I've seen lots of such photos and read very vivid descriptions about them already, and I'm dispirited enough.
However, I will say that I have been pretty annoyed when looking at the video that accompanies news stories about KJU the past few days. Everything I've seen appears to have been issued by Pyongyang--happy dancing people in beautiful costumes, or well-choreographed military parades, or little children singing. Really? I think if it were me, I'd forgo video completely rather than showing such misleading crud.

Thanks, Bo, I didn't think of that. The photos look so normal and pleasant..... Shame on me. For the past few days, I was afraid KJU was going to do something awful, then somebody else did, in Boston.

Yeh, but that doesn't mean he'll hold off. Sigh.

Well, okay, on a lighter note? I think? Here are photos of all the 2013 contestants for Miss Korea: on RedditThis person thinks that due to plastic surgery being so popular in Korea, they all look alike, and many of them do, especially around the eyes. Does anyone here know of (or remember) the Becker nose? (Toward the bottom is an animated gif of the girls, which makes them look more alike.) What do you think?

Okay, I'll take that as a "do not like." LOL...

I'm probably the only Korean in the world who would find these contestants difficult to gaze at. It's bothersome that this is seen as beautiful

I agree with sageuk. Most of those women look phony, several to the point of being almost creepy. Not all, but most. And I'd have a hard time recognizing many of them as Korean. I'm sure all of them were very attractive and maybe still are, but the way they phony themselves up for these things...Of course, the way the women in our American pageants phony themselves up often looks ridiculous too...but in a different way. More desperate than creepy.
Frankly I'll be glad for the day when these "human contests" are laughed at and mocked as idiotic relics from a dumber time.
