   LOL “a luxurious drinking salon” you know, where the high-class drunks go…that’s totally Konglish too, although it sounds like a normal description to those of us who’ve been here too long:

   michael, what I’m curious to know is why he’s finally agreed to turn himself in after Cheongwadae got involved.

   Send him to the slammer. How pathetic of the Seoul police to sit on the case for a month.

   I love to see big pricks who think they are better than the rest of us go down. I hope he has fun in jail… he deserves it.

   I hope so too, but I suspect that even if he goes to jail he’ll be out as soon as 8/15 rolls around (along with the other high rolling business/political crooks).

   Someone should write a book on Korea’s robber baron class. Should be chock full of interesting stories.

   Poor regular gangsters don’t have a chance against Jaebeol gangsters. My Pollyannish side says the serpented-headed old bastard does some time. Takers?
