I don't know about the text messages, fiona, it seems a little unlikely to me due to the rapidity of the accident and general chaos, but it might have happened. Not to change the subject, but here's another thing myBob found on line, and I don't even know what to think of it. LINK: 14 levels of wrong here. I mean, white supremacists and Koreans? What? I just keep hoping things will stop being so crazy, but people apparently are crazy and that's just the whole story. Pretty sickening. I couldn't read it after a few paragraphs. White supremacists being buddies with Koreans? North Koreans, yet?? I thought supremacists only liked very white people. How would they like to live under North Korean rule, I wonder. Or maybe they'd like to make the rules for everyone here, and shove lots of kinds of people out, like off-shore or somewhere.

Yeah, I guess when it comes down to hating the world, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even if they hate me too.

Its funny considering the North Korean government likes to preach of pure Korean blood, no different from the THird Reich's stance on the supreme Aryan race.

That's EXACTLY why there's a common bond there. They both agree about not intermixing races.
I've been thinking of starting a thread here for making fun of Kim Jong Un. Back and forth on it. This is certainly a push forward.

This is certainly a push forward. In North Korea, is he supposed to be some kind of god? Does he have minions over here? Maybe we don't want to poke him/them in a dedicated thread.... Just occasional scattered jabs? (Or am I just a chicken?)

Arty-farty News! Kim Changil Arario Museum opensHope that link works; there'll probably be a popup window asking you to subscribe, but you should be able to hit the "X" upper righthand corner and get to the article. I wonder how many galleries we see on dramas are based on this guy's famous gallery.

So nobody's seen Kim Jong Un in six weeks or so.
Any of you guys know where he is?

Oh he just made his first public appearance in a while. Apparently giving a "field guidance" at a newly built housing complex, according to Pyongyang's state media.

Interesting story, sageuk--thanks for sharing it. The New York Times has an article about it too, in today's issue. One thing in the Times article made me laugh. There's a conservative Confucian group that strongly supports the law and was advocating in favor of keeping it. The group's name is Sungkyunkwan! I wonder what Shin Don or Jeong Dojeon would have to say about that.

No one was really charged with adultery anymore. It only seemed to matter in divorce cases.

Thanks for posting this, I was at work today with a girl who is Korean-American and she was very upset abou the way the police handled the protest, the harm that came to the protesters and the apparent lack of press given to this-- I felt bad because she was so upset and I was so uninformed that I really could not say much to comfort her. Now I know more of the story and will be able to converse with her the next time I see her at work (was kinda-of embarassed that my knowledge of Korea is more based on dramas and BigBang than the actual country and it's policies)
