North Korean dancer Cho Myong-ae, on superfly South Korean singer Lee Hyo-ri:
She’s beautiful, but with dye in her hair and all, she doesn’t look like a Korean woman. She looks like a Westerner.
I guess this ties in nicely with some of the filth spewed out by Pyongyang Broadcasting on Wednesday. Just hope Cho doesn’t read Baduk’s comment on a previous post on the two girls from June.
Feel free to add your own captions to this one. Pic taken from Star News (some other cool pics, too)

Aw.. ain’t that cute.. Give a 25 year old South Korean man, pictures of North Korean women (the cheerleaders, not the starving concentration inmates), and he’ll wet his pants with lubrication. I just don’t get this fascination and idealism for these North Korean propanda robot witches.
They’re hot because you know they don’t have ?³???Ό?³ yet, therefore they are accessible. You can be a pimp in ???? rolling in you Tico and living in a ?§????°? in ????±?. (Yes this self referential)
/me runs into the corner and weeps in self pity
Actually, looking at the comments, it didn’t seem like folk were overly impressed with Cho, especially after she took a shot at Lee Hyo-ri, who after all probably heads the list of women South Korean men would like to bed.
I’d pimp both of them in the same juicy girl bar as a hedge. All the young Korean guys and way-gooks would line up for Hyo-Ri, while all the older Japanese and Korean businessmen would be big spenders for Cho.
“…Lee Hyo-ri, who after all probably heads the list of women South Korean men would like to bed.”
Maybe, but when it comes to marriage I think most SK men would prefer the NK cheerleader type. Surely everyone remembers how the men here went crazy over them. Cho Myong Ae and NK women in hanbok’s represent a blast from the Chos?΄n past, back when men were men and women were women, and for that reason has got a large following. And the way they talk just melts you alive.
As for the SK women who dye their hair and get face jobs I think it really is sick and unhealthy. If they dyed their hair green, blue, pink, and other colors I’d be able to accept they’re “just dying their hair” but it’s always some degree of blonde and that can’t be a coincidence.
Orankay is correct. Korean men, including moi, look back at the good times when men were men and women knew their place. SK women has become too bossy and too demanding.
Women did not behave like that in Chosun era. And, not in the 1960s when I was growing up in Korea.
NK women are bred to be pliant. To listen to men. Men go ga-ga over women who are subservient. Why do think men go to Room Salon and pay $1000 for two hours, even without sex? Just to talk to a “woman” who treats him like a man.
Just ask any man (other than a homo). I don’t care if he is European, American, South American, Asian, he will say “woman must know her place!”
It is in the genes. In the “Y” chromosome.
Without makeup, she does look Korean.

Maybe it’s just me, but it almost seems that Lee is teaching Cho how to give people the bird.
either that or the vulcan nerve pinch…. seriously, it looks pretty uncomfortable with Hyori’s fingers digging in her collarbone.
Baduk says “if I get Cho to do what I want, in the middle of passion…”
One can only wonder what that would be. Has he got a script ready and waiting?

Cho Myong-ae looks strangely familiar to me as I saw some of these folks wearing 1930s hanbok in central London a while back. I guess they must have been chaeil kyopo tourists doing the usual rounds of Burberry shop –British Museum — Burberry shop. Still, gave me a bit of a surprise at the time.
Another thing: is it just me or does Cho Myong-ae look permanently surprised? Something about the eyebrows I think.
By the way, I can’t hold back my feelings any longer. I just love Baduk. He’s so funny. I wonder if he would marry me. Then again, I am a man and I’m not sure how subservient I can be.
“North Korean propanda robot witches.”
That describes them almost perfectly, depending, of course, on your image of a witch. Everytime anyone pushes their talk button, the same old stilted-voice, prerecorded message comes out of their mouths. Why do South Korean reporters even bother asking them questions?
I noticed on the news that when Hyo-ri and the North Korean robot met on stage, the robot refused to shake Hyo-ri’s offered hand? Maybe, the North’s robots are programed to believe that shaking hands is another of the culturally polluting influences of the United States, like gum, jeans, and guitars, which is what a South Korean student leader told me in 1982?
How appropriately symbolic.
The decadent SK LHR eats a fattening western icecream (notice NK CMA doesn’t have this delicious treat? Is it pride to remain Korean and eat only songpyun? Or does LHR just don’t want to share?) All at the same time LHR gives a nice western birdy, leading CMA into a brave new world.
Gotta love that pin CMA has on. One of these days, those pins are going to have similiar functions like the Star Trek badges.
She looks nothing like a ?Westerner?? ? she looks like what she is, a Korean. Does Christina Aguilera look Korean when she dyes her hair black?
Point taken, but the analogy does not hold perfectly.
There are no blonde Koreans (I am obviously excluding those with mixed ancestry). There ARE, however, people of European (or Hispanic, African, whatever) ancestry with black hair.
I know Cho is no ordinary NK citizen, but isn’t it bad for NK that one of its nationals is being exposed this much to the capitalist benefits of the South? I had the impression NK kept a lid on that…so my real question is, where is the invisible hand?
Fuck it, she’s probably pampered enough up there as it is.
As for Lee…does she have any work done to her face?
Those are the only “alterations” I’d consider being put for criticism for trying to be too Western. Asian women are beautiful…the girls that are ashamed of their almond-shaped eyes and smaller noses probably deserve to have their natural beauty taken anyway. I know a Korean woman like this myself.
Dyed hair? And maybe her clothes? I guess that’s what happens when your country still isn’t set in the 1950’s. I prefer to call it “modernization” rather than “westernization”, though I acknowledge the West was considered to modernize first…
And as for the whole subservient thing…ehhh…I love women with a soft and friendly personality, but by no means they must be a slave and acting out the typical 2nd-class citizen thing.
Ah, but I don’t dig the blonde dye at all, just to clarify. Not even on dark-haired western women.
GBevers,
You may be right. If I get Cho to do what I want, in the middle of passion, she may just start reciting the pledge to Kim IlSung.
Who knows? I don’t have any previous experience with any chick who has grown up in NK hellhole.
She looks nothing like a “Westerner” — she looks like what she is, a Korean. Does Christina Aguilera look Korean when she dyes her hair black?
Two dogs.
“Comrade Yankee Boot-Licking Imperialist Stooge, what are those shinny objects creating illumination?
Then again, Hyori’s hair is far from blonde, which is obvious from the photo above. At best, it is light brown. Even among Koreans, there are those whose natural hair color is not jet black, but various shades of brown.
Come now, you quibble. How many Koreans naturally have the color she sports?
I think there is a clear difference between THAT and the naturally occuring dark brown to light black hair some Koreans have (which is also present in my family — at least the half that originally hails from the North — leading to in-family jokes about “Russian” ancestry somewhere).
Lee looks like an East Asian with dyed hair. She’s not a classic Korean.
Guns and Butter,
Nothing to laugh about. Koreans have Mongol blood in them. Mongols once went beyond Asia and into Europe, terrorizing Germany who were called Huns at the time.
Some Mongols carried away European women as slaves. Hence, the light hairs.
Koreans, at least Mongols, got around (circa 10th century?).
Orankay. I’m not sure that the hair dying to lighter shades is necessarily “unhealthy”, although I tended to view it that way myself when younger, and various theories of “cocacolonisation” were the rage on campus. Asians tend to come from societies that had a single national ideal for women (in Vietnam’s case, embodied in their national poem: the tale of Kieu)(also, witness Baduk’s comments). Perhaps the hair dying is a combination of expressing oneself as out of or above the norm, and at the same time an expression of “modernization” rather than “westernization”. I’ve learned not to smile condescendingly at shades of purple or green, and when your natural color tends to darker shades, “lightening” up seems the only other way to go.
here are two classic Koreans………

Who are they?
http://www.gabba3.com …a blog of yours?
I’m just saying, she does not look Western. But any deviation from the norm (in hair color, behavior, etc.) and a Korean is likely to say, “That person is just like a foreigner/Westerner”. Look at Roh’s comments in Turkey, for example. By the same token, if a Korean sees two non-Koreans together in the same subway car, that person may comment that s/he feels as though s/he’s in a foreign country. There is a disconnect of perception there that makes big differences out of inconsequential ones and it is this that Ms. Norkette is responding to, despite it being absolutely ludicrous
_as it is abundantly clear that Hyori is Korean_
Ray, that’s more like a typical Korean woman.
No, no blogs, no more blogs…
Dogbert, yeah she’s making a typical mistake. Honestly, if I was younger and didn’t live in Korea I might make a similar comment. Not because I thought Lee actually looked western, but more because I was immaturely attempting to undermine her success. Or something like that….I think you get my drift.
Roh’s comments in turkey? Did I miss this? Point me to it, if you would be so kind.
This also brings to mind about his comments concerning english-speaking Koreans (I think?) and some Koreans being more pro-american than americans…but I forgot what exactly that was about.
The idea being that if someone deviates only slightly from the norm, that person is at risk of being labeled “not thinking like a Korean” or, “looking like a Westerner”.
As though those were bad things, even were they insignificant.
Caption: Silly! Puhahaha! It is not a snake! Relax! It’s just his penis! He is a black man from America who plays on one of our professional basketball teams.
At this point, I’d aver that kimbob’s comment regarding ‘North Korean propanda robot witches’ has got to stand as one of the best. Also, is anyone really suggesting that they’d pass on Hyo-ri? Come on - whether she’s giving the finger while eating an ice-cream, or tossing off oversized dildo-shaped lipsticks, Hyo-ri’s got a style that you can’t pass up.
Here’s my caption: ‘Don’t be afraid, Comrade Dancer Cho! Look - if I hold up this World Cone just right, you can’t even see the Am-Cham offices.’
I know Cho is no ordinary NK citizen, but isn?t it bad for NK that one of its nationals is being exposed this much to the capitalist benefits of the South?
They’re in Shanghai.
The North Korea chyk looks like this chyk I know who lives two flights down from me in my apartment. She’s nice.
The more I see of her, though, the more I realize she just ain’t that hot.
Lee Hyo-ri, on the other hand — hubba hubba.
Or, I suppose to be more exactly — “in my apartment…building.”
Sigh.
Hey Shelton, I hear you just got a Korean girlfriend…congrats!
Nothing to laugh about. Koreans have Mongol blood in them. Mongols once went beyond Asia and into Europe, terrorizing Germany who were called Huns at the time.
Baduk:
Supposedly my family has Mongol ancestry (the Na clan) and historical evidence seems to back that up.
By the way, the ethnic origin of people who were called “the Huns” is highly disputed. It is not certain at all whether they were Mongol or even Turkic-speaking (they may have been proto-Iranian, example).
The closest the Mongols ever got to Germany — in a documented case — was the Battle of Liegnitz in 1241 (taught over the years in Germany and elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe as a European victory when in fact was a crushing defeat). They may have also sent recce elements to the outskirts of Vienna when they were overrunning Hungary.

Guns and Butter,
Thank you for the info. It is so amazing that most Koreans are oblivious of this Mongol ancestry. Some even say the “Han” of “Hankuk” actually stands for “Khan”. Do you know anything along this line?
I think Japanese historians may have erased this Mongol heritage from Korea. The fact is that the Mongols ruled Korea for hundred years. I can just imagine these rough characters riding into a village and raping any women they can find. Mongol blood. This is why Koreans in general are better in physique than the Chinese or the Japanese.
If you have chance to see the National geography special on Mongolia, please do. They look exactly like Koreans, like you and me.
This is why Koreans in general are better in physique than the Chinese or the Japanese.
How do you figure? The Chinese are heterogeneous with many different body types. Northerners tend to be tall and long-legged. I lived in Shandong province, home to many national athletes. Shandong natives are statuesque and strong.
I’ve seen real Mongolians up close, and they do not look exactly like Koreans. Mongolians and Koreans do share some common features like prominent cheekbones, but the two nationalities are not indistinguishable.

Korean noses are smaller than these people due to mixing with the Chinese. Northern Koreans kept more of these features, while Southerners are close to the Chinese.
Supposedly my family has Mongol ancestry (the Na clan) and historical evidence seems to back that up.
Rest assured that many Koreans have ? unwilling ? Mongolian blood, and vice versa. The northern half of the country was annexed to the Y?Όan empire, and the southern half didn’t have a much better deal. When the Emperor started pulling out troops, one of the fiercest negotiations were over the Korean women that had been “grabbed” by the occupation Army. In the end it was agreed that Korean women who gave birth to a male heir had to follow their “husbands” whereas those that had only girls could stay. So while half-Mongolian baby girls stayed in Korea and added to the gene pool diversity, many Korean women did likewise in China, and then Mongolia.
dda,
Fascinating. I did not know about that. I am ashamed that as a Korean native I did not know where my ancestors came from. Darn the Japanese; they intentionally erased much of these Chinese-Mongolian connection from Korean history.
Tell me more about Mongols, Chinese and Korean connection.
Dr Bedroom respects Korea and thinks Korean women are the Hottest chicks on the planet, but don’t let the communist propaganda doll fool you! They are the enemy not the United States.
??¨??¨?Ά?? ? This Cho Myong-ae NK chick is not hot at all!
Heresy! Next you’ll be saying that southern men are effeminate…
dogbert, here?s some more heresy for you?? http://english.chosun.com/w21d.....20032.html Uhhh. Asian fashion.They wear close fitting shirts, leaving the top two buttons open to show off their tight body.This reminds me of a scene in the film “Beverly Hills Cop”: “It’s not sah-xy. It’s ah-nimal.”
I guess it’s not so ah-nimal in Korea since many Korean men lack chest hair (I guess I don’t have “deep ethnic purity” since I don’t suffer from this affliction).They only believe that in differentiating masculine and feminine is meaningless and rustic.Does this mean wives beat husbands just as much the reverse now in Korea?

Under his yellow sunglasses, his moustache proved that Lee was sensitive about the way he looked.
