Gabe should get some kudos for putting Seoul on the literary map back in the US. It’s about time somebody circulated stories from Korea out there for a larger audience.

Looks like Gabe Edjustaguy doesn’t bother to read the NYT or he’d know that Korea has gotten prolific coverage relative to its neighbors thanks to Norimitsu Onishi and Choe Sang-hun.

But saying that, “Gabe should get some kudos for putting Seoul on the literary map back in the US.” is far-far-far from the truth of what is happening at Yonsei Underwood College. It is not just Gabe, if you take the time to look at other individuals teaching real classes at the college you will find several others doing great work there. I enjoyed the piece by Gabe but I do have a problem with a Yonsei professor who writes the New York Times about telling some middle aged Korean (jerk) guy “I’ll break your face” because he looked at him the wrong way. I have past experience with Yonsei and that kind of thinking is not part of the Yonsei mission statement. Justaguy
