Altogether a good magazine, as long as you rip out page #7.

And if ROKon is issued in podcast form this will be on my Christmas wish list.

It’s craptacular.

I am a kyopo (not quite Korean) that is fluent in Korean and “get it” fairly regularly. I am currently underemployed in the conventional working capacity and extremely interested in helping out in any way that I can with this magazine. Please contact me at dlatn@hotmail.com for more information

You know what I like best about your magazine Shelton? It’s free, unlike others that should be, but aren’t.

As there were several magazines that had folded (Wayguk, K-scene, and maybe DDD) in the past year or so, it’s good that someone was able gather a bunch of those wandering writers and do something new. Kudos.

I wasn’t very impressed, though, with your comparison of ‘Kushibora’ to alleged child killers, on the cover no less (with an acid-tripped depiction of someone sticking their tongue out - Shelton’s revenge, I guess?). It’d make a little more sense if you yourself weren’t using your Ahssa! pseudonyms in the magazine, seeing as that was a part of what the whole ‘kushibora’ scandal was all about, right?

I’m just nitpicking, though. Glad to see you got the magazine off the ground.

I read your first issue and thought it was extremely palatable.
The articles were interesting, albeit not pulitzer material, but I doubt that was the original intent. good job Shelton!
