This is interesting. I didn't even know that something like Miranda rules existed in South Korea. Were they introduced during the Kim Young-sam period? Earlier? Later? Good point Littlebrownasian makes about Tagalog. That seems an odd omission. Perhaps most Filipinos are presumed to be able to communicate in English, and so covered by English-language services?

They even bothered to make their services available to Swedes when in fact the number of Filipinos working here outnumber them smack down. I wonder if they'll accept outside services for this services? If they ask me and they'll pay, I'm in! =D

I had no idea what they meant by "태마 송". Boy, that takes me back to when the local police took me in and would not let me go until I promised to write them a “theme song”.
