Y’all remember the Japanese comic book Kenkanryu, which pissed off Korean cyberspace with its attacks on the Korean Wave and Korea’s views of Japan. Well, Ryoma Nakaoka, a Japanese teacher residing in Korea (and a blogger, apparently), has written a book that is bound to piss off even more people. Entitled Medicine for Korea’s Ills, one of its chapters runs:
In a chapter provocatively titled, “If you don’t know these things, don’t date a Korean” the author nonetheless shows willingness to indulge in some misogyny, saying that “because Korean women all have an inherently wild temper, once they are ignited there’s no stopping them.” “You cannot win an argument with a Korean woman,” the author moans. But Nakaoka also disparages Korean men, saying the majority are over-jealous stalker types.
Well, with lines like that, I’d imagine the writer won’t have to worry about mistakingly scoring with Korean chicks any time soon.

Im looking forward to reading it. I also read the guys blog, and I can tell you what he writes is well thought out. The blog is still up, but requires a password to view.
It is not a favorable time for the publication of Medicine for Korea?s Ills. Korea is making a fuss over purview of the justice minister ’s jurisdiction, and also over the national soccer team coach, Dick Advocat(this Dutch man’s name is very funny. Dick Advocat).
when i first read this thread, i immediately thought of shakuhachi since this kind of stuff gives him a boner. sure enough, who’s first to comment?
i thought you were against racism, shakee. i hope you can surmount your hurdle.
‘asian women come to me, i don’t go to them!’ shakuhachi in another thread

What racism?
??asian women come to me, i don?t go to them!? shakuhachi in another thread
Post the link.
How about this for a link:
Chewbaccahachi is practically the dictionary definition of hikikomori, and thus is worth reading only as a psychological curiosity, and for entertainment value.
Also here
And here
Cheers!

I dont get it. Why should I be considered hikikomori? You should ask the Korean girl I was out with last night if I am hikikomori… lol.
She was probably too drunk to notice anyway.
So … how is this book going to be different than reading Dave’s ESL Cafe threads?

I guess some Japanese misogynists like their females docile.
Well, he is not writing anything Koreans don’t know. Korean women are more troublesome. Why do you think Korean adjussis all hang out in local tavern drinking and ogling at waitresses? Their women give them hard time. Some of these adjussees prefer to sleep in the street than go home to his “tiger”.
I prefer Japanese women any day. All Korean men do. I love kimono. All women, Eastern and Western, look great in Kimono. I have heard that Kimono is designed to serve as a quickie mat.
Japanese women may be too docile. Too much of a doll. They may not be creative and you may have to tell them everything. But, men usually do not complain as long as these women comply.
This Japanese should write more. Teach Korean women to behave. Korean men can’t. Korean women are too violent. They are known to physically attack men and injure them. They are “ferocious”. They are only happy if you give them a lot money and things. Not into sex; they consider it a chore.
Korean men are looking outside the country to look for a mate. A Chinese, a VietNamese, a Phippina…Anyone is better than a Korean woman. Some Korean women think men are doing this because they cannot afford a Korean wife. The truth is Korean men are fed up with homegrown bitches.
I think this Japanese is doing a good thing.
The Admiral is back!
Thanks Marmot,
These kinds of posts are often the most entertaining, as they bring out all the loonies that hang out here on your blog. I mean heck you haven?t even gotten to 15 comments yet and they?ve already crawled out of the woodworks.
Let?s do a roll call, Shakuhachi, Baduk and don’t forget Nulji! No doubt whatever they say will be most entertaining. Shakuhachi will jump on anything that he gets to diss Korea about (Nulji was right to anticipate him), throwing in his own experiences about how nuts Korean women are and encourage others to do so too! (Mind you he would never do something so directly, he would rather make claims about seeking some higher truth or some other such nonsense while making broad generalizations about how much Koreans suck and maniacally chanting in his head ?Time to spread some hate! Time to spread some hate!?? I can only just imagine what kind of BS will be generated on his blog.
Nulji will make a lot of unsubstantiated claims and throw in some wild ultra-nationalistic jibberjabber just to spice thinks up and make everyone wonder what kind of crack he?s smoking. And the piece de resistance will no doubt be Baduk, who has already shocked me with baffling comments before this thread has really even gotten started. I even remember the days when I used to think he was sane.
Love to watch all three of them put in a room together. If we filmed it and made a music video, what music would best suit it?
Yes Korean women have a hot tempor, believe me I’ve been married to one for 5 years; and they can’t be reasoned with either. Their like Korean food - hot and spicy.
I didn’t know that the korean president had plastic surgery. That is definitely a problem in Korea. I never knew much about plastic surgery unitil I met my wife. Now I know way more than I need to know. I understand it if you are disfigured, but most koreans are trying to look more like westerners - pulled out nose, big eyes and lips. Honestly I think the Korean women look better with small eyes and a napcha ko (nose), but like I said, they’re hard to reason with. Men getting plastic surgery is just too girly. Ha!
waygook, everything i know i learned from fox news. thanks for the compliments.
btw, shakee, you made that statement on this board in one of these threads. glad i could help.
‘asian women come to me, i don’t go to them!’ shakuhachi

Kenny G, whilst massaging each others’ shoulders.
Plastic surgery has really taken off with middle-aged and older folks in many countries. While riding the subway in Tokyo, I noticed a lot of 40-to-50-something women with the same unnaturally taut faces I see here in North America among people of the same age group. A lotta, lotta male and female politicians in many countries look like they’ve made their plastic surgeons wealthy. Chinese premier Wen Jia Bao could swap beauty secrets with Roh. The giveaway is in the smile: long, deep lines spread out from the corners of the eyes while the forehead and cheeks are so smooth and tight you could bounce a quarter off them.

It must make you pretty mad, nulji.
You people are fucking nuts

Stick around a while, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Absolutely.
Hint: Search. Baduk. Weeeeeeeee…
Just poking fun at you, baduk…but you’re still NUCKING FUTS.
Why shouldn’t this go over well? Isn’t it all true? What have I missed here?
I have the same questions Mizar5 has. What is so bad about what is quoted from the book?
If you ignore Chosun Ilbo’s commentary and focus on the quotes, then you will probably have to ask, “What is all the fuss about?”
Was Roh Mu-hyun’s plastic surgery a national secret? Are there more than a handfull of Korean celebrities who have not had some kind of plastic surgery? Is there anything scarier than an angry Korean ajuma? Do Korean women not have problems with male admirers stalking them?
I think the book became news because it was time for another Jap attack in the Korean media, and there was just not enough juicy stuff coming out of Japan.
it’s posts like this that’ll teach me to check the hole everyday!!! wish i could have gotten in earlier…
of course it’s true. anyone who has lived in korea for an extended time or has been or currently is married to a korean woman knows this.
as for things like president noh’s plastic surgery, that’s the slightest of critiques for this guy…
[A]s for things like president noh?s plastic surgery, that?s the slightest of critiques for this guy??
Right, like he wears lipstick, too. And he’s a Communist or at least runs with a large group of ‘em.
God I love this blog! Tahahaha

It has been said that the high waist of the hanbok serves the purpose of hiding unplanned pregnancies.
judge judy, i’m married to a korean woman, and i have to disagree with you.
i often wonder which came first the chicken or the egg; the husbans staying out late drinking and the wives being angry. from the arguements that i’ve overheard in neigbouring apartments, the husbands spending habits often cause the doemstic disputed.

Yup, just what a hikikomori would say. You remind me of the comic store guy on the Simpsons.

How is it that I am suffering from ‘acute social withdrawal’? OK. You are suffering from manic depression. My statement makes as much sense as yours, using the same amount of evidence (meaning none). Although maybe you could be called a stalker, as you have continually chased me around every post I comment on, obsessively. Really ironic because of the article above.
But Nakaoka also disparages Korean men, saying the majority are over-jealous stalker types.
I feel sorry for you. I dont know what is more pathetic, seeing you foam at the mouth when you see an international relationship (white man, Korean woman), or your total impotence to stop it.
Korean women are like pittbulls. They can be nice and well behaved but watch out if you get one pissed-they grab hold of an issue and do not let go. Where this comes from… I can only speculate. Korean men have contributed to their own misery with the binge drinking, room salons, refusing to help with the housework and other less than manly activities. Still, I have seen this phenomena increasing around the world. It seems that Korean women have decided that it is perfectly acceptable to be verbally and physically abusive with or without cause. I believe the problem is exasperated by the fact that Korea is such a masculine society and most men with any shred of self-esteem would rather be castrated than admit their wife opens a can of wupp-ass on them for something as trivial as disliking Pres Roh’s personal beautification. I think there is a certain amount of public awareness (unfortunately not necessarily unacceptance) of spousal abuse where the man beats the wife, so much so that this is viewed as a perfectly acceptable excuse for divorce. I suspect that it will take a bad murder case where the husband is murdered by an enraged wife being publicized before people start to recognize the fact that it is a problem here in Korea. The whole gold digger attitude is another issue too but I won’t get into that here.
Well… The Korean saying that the darkest place in the room being right below the candle-stand, I can’t say for stalker Korean men… But I have to say that the author is pretty spot on about the generalization of Korean women.
I just find it funny that this is probably the same reason why he went to Korea in the first place, and dare may I say it, the reason why lots of non-Koreans go in the first place.
Some people want to eat hamburgers, other sushi. Yet others still, refuse to eat anything but jalapeno dowsed with chilli powder chased by a nice bottle of tabasco.
I don’t know why some people love to jam their fingers in the car door and repeat the bashing process. The world is a strange place.

I’m not going to go into detail on the grab bag of issues (eg. paranoia, delusions of persecution, projection, etc.) evident in the above, but i’ll make the small correction that you have probably confused me with someone else as far as disapproval of interracial relationships.
You really need to get out more.

Yeah, you dont mind inter-racial relationships but you keep bringing it up, huh?
By the way, I never said ‘asian women come to me, i don?t go to them!’. Its a made up quote by nulji, that he keeps repeating, and refuses to show any evidence that I actually wrote that (because I didnt). Feel free to apologise.
Don’t hold your breath, Shak.
You remind me of the comic store guy on the Simpsons.
For me, they are like Dr. Evil and Number Two in Austin Powers. They are living in their own world.
Amen
Chewie, I think you’re projecting again, or otherwise hallucinating all your “enemies” into a single person. Don’t take it from me though, you really should find out what your doctor, therapist, or social worker has to say.
I’ve already alluded to the following:
I dont get it. Why should I be considered hikikomori? You should ask the Korean girl I was out with last night if I am hikikomori?? lol.
Past puberty, most people consider boasting about one’s own sexual prowess as a sign of overcompensation for serious personal inadequacies or acute social withdrawal, and I think you’ve already demonstrated this in spades. If you’d gotten out more in the past ten years, it might have occurred to you that nobody’s actually impressed, or even offended by this outside of middle school locker rooms, or the script of an 80’s John Hughes movie.
Come to think of it, you are a bit like Anthony Michael Hall on the Breakfast Club trying to cover up his inexperience with false bravado, only 10 years older, having never gotten out of the house or gotten a job.
Cheers!
