Pics of starving Nork kids, evil USIS schemes, rectal swabs in Mapo-gu, IA on Lee Seung-yeop, and more…
- Seeing Eye Blog posts some rather disturbing pics of starving North Korean kids and notes how these victims may be the last in line when it comes to food aid to the DPRK.
- The Oranckay (who, just in case you were curious, got my vote for Best Korean Blog over at Flying Chair), links to some stories concerning USIS attempts to influence South Korea’s domestic media. I came across this story through OhMyNews last night, but like the Oranckay, I’ve had neither the time nor the inclination to go through the details in full. Nevertheless, this sounds like some interesting (and controversial) stuff, and there will be more on this once we go through the relevant material.
- Brian endures the unendurable in order to get his business permit.
- Samsung Lions 1st baseman Lee Seung-yeop is going to Japan, and sports blogger extraordinaire Kevin of IA is all over it.
- Flying Yangban (who apparently will not be sending me dongdongju for Xmas) has a post on Real Ultimate Power (which includes a link to The Official Korean Guy Webpage).
- Corsair the Rational Pirate has a pretty funny post on Korean efforts to rid the ‘Net of erroneous information about their country.
