A Korean blogger and online artist has created some characters to represent “the outrages committed by foreign teachers in Korea after they’ve smoked pot and drank.”
Well, surely, you’d have to admit a couple of bottles of soju or a fat Phillie blunt (no offense to Vancouverites) would make class go much easier.

Is that a man or a woman (the blond one)? More importantly, do I really want to know?
And that is one gigantic joint. Perhaps the cartoon is also suggesting that the English teachers get paid too much, being able to afford such copious amount of the ganja.
At least their noses were small.
This is going to engender hope and moral appreciation for all the Waygook ESL teachers. This is the Busan 9 in a different but equally damaging form.
I’ve seen Korean teachers come to class smelling like soju. Where are the cartoons about them?
one word: p h a t.
that’s a neat-ass drawing, something any cool abc teacher would be proud to hang up on his wall.
Roll it up, smoke it up, TEACH IT UP
East SEA hittin that blunt,
Might he want a joint then I want another hit
Roll it up, smoke it up, TEACH IT UP
I wanna stimulate my mind (so I toke it up)
Can I get a hit? (Can I get a hooh!?)
Gimme that fat bag of weed and the SOJU
so I can get faded, elevated, AND TEACH THE SAME FUCKING SHIT I TAUGHT YESTERDATED
Smoke the joint down to a roach then I ate it
I stand true to the CLASS
(As I keep runnin from the HOGWAN DIRECTAH!!!!!)
Gimme dat weed fool and OPEN YER BOOKS TO PAGE 420
Just put these guys in plaid and they’d be good to go w/ any group of local ajossi.
can i not post a jpeg link in the comments? seems my last comment got dumped…anyway, would be cool to see other ‘interpretations’ of the waygook, thru koreans’ or our own eyes. someone have a flickr account we could upload our own graphic interpretations into?
chiamattt you have rolled one too many times.
Seriously though, I LOLed.
I swear I’ve seen that blonde chic in Stomper’s before.
F*ck this!
And the myth continues that soju and side dishes makes Koreans all great, friendly, and fun.
Let’s ignore the violence, the vandalism,the copius(sp?)amounts of puke on the streets, and the middle of the night screaming that all go hand in hand with Korea’s alcoholic “han” culture.*
They want to label all waygook teachers as doped up and drunk dangers to society? Well, I’ll lable them as childish, ridiculously ignorant, numbskulled, racist, violent, vandalising soju heads!
I was awoken at 2:30 this morning by a soju loaded university student screaming “sheebal” as loud as he could as he first tried to fight his friend. Then, he proceeded to take his aggressions out on a car that was parked nearby- therapy through vandalism.
I guess drunken fighting screaming in the middle of the night season is starting early this year.
I guess we should all understand because they have “had hard lives”!
Use html tags to imbed the link in text. I’ve never had a post with imbedded links get caught, but sometimes posts with separate links would.
I guess we should all understand because they have “had hard lives”!
Jeez. Not the university students. Unless you count that time his cellphone battery died and he had to use a payphone to call his girlfriend, so he was out a hundred won.
Drunken assholity has always been the prerogative of young people all around the world. What chokes me more is when the older men here get away with still acting like children.
here’s my own interpretation of a waygook…i did forget to include weed in the final rendering.
waygook
anyone else have their own graphic interpretations?
99% of Koreans believe they have had “hard lives” simply because they are Korean- it’s the “han” and victimization thing.
They use the “han” and victimization thing to excuse all the bad behavior they exhibit when they are drunk.
That’s why you see all the drunk and even sober ajoshi’s act like horrible assholes with impunity. Everyone keeps saying the old line “They have had hard lives” & “We should understand”.
On the other hand, we waygooks are not perceived as having “had hard lives” and we are not the victims of the world the way that Koreans are. Due to this, we are not afforded any of that “understanding” should one of us decide to toke up or have a bit of a rowdy night on the drink.
They look at that with serious derision and scorn as they believe we are supposed to always be on our best behavior. At the same time, we are supposed to “understand” when one of them gets loaded and behaves terribly.
Benicio, This behavior is quite well known and reported. Race sympathy is even expresed for criminals and traitors (”He is, zfter all Korean”).
There’s a time to cling together and endulge in a false notion of unity but it always breaks down when it comes to self interest. Like Korean levity, the sense of commonness is forced. The group or mob is invariably organized around a single character or concept. It is either an orgyistic celebration of national supremecy or a cry of outrage against those who violate the collective “us.”
One of my patients once asked me “Doctor, why do we Koreans goosestep to such tenuous causes?”
I reminded him that I was not a doctor. But I explained that mob behavior is always organized around a collective “us” expressing shared rage together. The Korean rage of self-injustice.
Of course this collective “us” is merely a construct that calls for a bit of suspension of belief in itself. So it is a short leap from the loss of a bit of individual autonomy to the call of the mindless mob, when an inherently absurd premise D’Jour invokes the kneejerk collective delusion.
Culminating in a collective orgy of hatred expressed against something anti the collective. Nothing personal.
Pardon me. It’s time for me to go.
#14 I think you meant to write piqued his interest, not peak.
For someone who’s blog is titled “행복한 꿈을 꾸는 사람,” this chap seems to have some issues.
lol @ chiamatt
Seriously though, the only people that should be high are the kindergarten teachers. Help bring them down to the student’s level; it just makes sense!
Don’t you guys get tired of this BS? I have never seen anywhere the level of spiteful, pettiness as in TaeHaMinGuk.
Has anyone in Korea stopped to think that every year they manage to make a horrible impression on thousands of university-educated Westerners, most of whom will all return home to be mortgage-carrying professionals - the very people who will consume Korea’s export products. Or instead choose Japanese or Chinese variants.
Koreans need to wake up.
