If this keeps up they may not be able to make <i>Suzanne Brinks's Arirang II</i>.

Didn't you know ALL KOREANS are PURE Kims, Parks, and Lees? they have a royal blood line to keep going ! Heaven forbid there should be a FAKE Kim, Park, Lee ! Oh, No! Our Josang-nims, who were SURELY, SURELY kings, generals, etc, will curse us if we substitute a fake Kim, Park, Lee for a real one ! this, in my opinion, is why so many Koreans are negative about not only adopted kids, but also. 1/ step kids. 2/ males are singled out all the more. They carry the last name. Can you imagine a fake, adopted Andong Kim, participating in their jaesas, and naming his son an Andong Kim, while he was not one drop of Andong Kim blood? Oh, my God ! If you notice here, there is a subtle reason why Cha adopted only girls. Lineage. Come get over, you damn fake Park, Lee, and Kims. Most of you had slaves as jo-sangs. it’s not only that.

F*** the neighbors! Sadly too many people here still care far too much what the neighbors will think to do the right thing.
