Don’t entirely understand the hubbub. Korean males are always touching their buddie’s privates.
Official admission there are gays in Korea?? Quick, someone bring the candles!
Isn’t this an opportunity for him to be the founding member of a Hankooked Village People tribute band? Something like Shigol Min?
Seems like THIS will bring protests against the US-ROK SOFA too…
I’m Mausalus9 over at Korea Times and I wrote that it seemed fishy that he is accused of insulting 13 over his fellow colleagues including seniors and juniors of himself. Looks like they want to get rid of the guy for being gay. Brave of him to come out in a country I have heard swears that there are no gay people. Good thing he was born south of the DMZ at least.
I meant molesting, not insulting.
His name is “Gay Duck.” What did they expect?!
Ugh…
@2 No gays in Korea. In this headline, gay means happy. Duh.
He probably caught it from foreigners, because Koreans are not that way…
Acropolis,
He’d probably get more play north of the border. I read an interview with a defector in Under The Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader, and he said that at least 50% of NK soldiers get off with each other (but he did say they weren’t gay the way American gays are gay - !) In ay case, I guess 10 year tours of duty without a girlfriend will do that to a man…
