It will be interesting to see if the abortion issue in Korea will become a hot button issue like it is in the US with the enforcement of these restrictions: Having a third child wasn’t in Mrs. Kim’s plans. She and her husband are already struggling to get by. But getting an abortion, once so routine here that South Korea ... [Link]

"The civil war in Korea from 1950 to 1953 that the United States foolishly intervened in, and, for the first time for a major conflict, without a congressional declaration of war, is known as the Forgotten War," reminds Laurence M.

With "a provisional ban on international marriages with Koreans" — Cambodia bans marriage to Koreans. From the article:The restriction pertains only to South Korea because nearly 60 percent of international marriages in Cambodia involve Korean nationals, and most of them are arranged through brokers, the official said. Cambodia has banned marriage brokerage since 2008, allowing only “love matches.” Yet the ... [Link]

Louie Psihoyos, the director of the Oscar-winning documentary The Cove, a heart-wrenching work that chronicles the slaughter of dolphins in Japan's Wakayama Prefecture, has taken his anti-whaling protests to Seoul.

In America, 80% of doctors are Jewish. And, 100% of bankers are Jewish.
Jewish mothers raise only doctors and bankers. Sometimes, they raise Dentists by accident. Nobody is perfect.
Yup, “baduk” gets points for being both right and funny. Mazal tov!
DLB
baduk, you’re worn out, time for a vacation, dude.
It’s okay to stereotype Jews, but if a comedian calls a heckler a nigger the whole world stops. Fuck baduk and fuck the new middle of the middle of America. Fuck the new and improved certificate seeking, car loving, liqueur drinking, weed whacking, golfing American nigger.
Somebody’s sons are bankers – what’s not to like?
And to the poster’s question; I don’t know, I guess it’s a joke that slipped through. It’s fucking funny.
Well I guess I never knew there was such a large Jewish population in Korea. You learn something new everyday.
This place has a weird fascination with Jews, even more odd since there are so few here and most Koreans have never had any contact with Jews under any circumstances for the last two thousands years.
@Angusmack – Makes me muse on the extensive contact 2000 years prior to the present day.
Also, if there are so many, why is it so hard to get a knish.
As the son of a Jewish mother, I can assure you that the caption makes no sense.
Since when did Jews get promoted to being bankers? I thought we were nothing more than simple tax collectors and money lenders.
My sister is a BofA VP, yet until now I’d no idea her religious affiliation had changed. Thanks for the heads-up, baduk. I’ll break it to my mom.
koreans have something akin to a jew fetish.
If I had to bet money on anyone being a sockpuppet, it’s baduk. that guy CAN’T be for real, can he?
You forgot Jesus killers.
Anyway, my money’s on hacker’s prank, or joongang editorial staff just lost their mind.
Maybe they all sat down to a bowl of chicken soup? (And had seconds.)
A wunch of uncircumcized bankers?
Rhie Won bok!
Good bye, nyavogo.
Have a nice life. Or maybe not.
The Jews and the Koreans have much in common…thousands of years of suffering. All this suffering bred in the Jew a certain kind of humor, “telegram to follow…start worrying.” Us Koreans…well, we have Han.
During Tsarist Russia, a Jew and a Russian soldier were traveling together on a train. The soldier grabbed the Jew by the collar and demanded: why are you people so damn smart?
The Jew thought about it for a moment and said: it is because we eat a lot of herring. So the soldier released him and they sat down.
Soon afterwards, the Jew took out his lunch and started eating, which included some bits of dried herring. The soldier asked: how much for a share of your herring? The Jew said 50 kopecks. The soldier paid, took the herring and began eating. Moments later, the soldier said, hey wait a minute, I can get herring in St Petersburg for only 30 kopecks! You overcharged me!
The Jew said: see…it’s working already.
During the period of the pogroms, two Jews were depressed. They started kvetching about this and that. One Jew said, when I get depressed I read the yiddish newspapers. Then I get more depressed because all I read about are the pogroms. The other Jew said, that’s why I stopped reading the yiddish newspapers. Now I read the Tsar’s pamphlets. The other Jew became astonished and said: what!? How can you read that? The other Jew said: well, these newspapers are always saying that we Jews control everything…finance, banking, industry, etc. Then I feel better.

So what happens when a Jewish guy with an erection walks into a wall?
He breaks his nose.
#7- Actually, we have a sizable Diplomatic presence here, certainly the largest in Asia, and a fair number of Mossad due, in part, to some Korean social and media behaviours. This isn’t taken lightly by Mossad, if you know our history. They say German antisemitism began with “jokes,” so our intelligence service tends to pay visits to places responsible for this type of behaviour. Korea has more complaints of this kind, against it than the rest of Asia combined. Hence our “presence.”
I am from the South, and so only had my first knish earlier this year, and I had to make it myself. Out of curiosity. It was good, but I doubt it was very authentic.The thing about knish(es?) is that I feel like I only hear people talk about wanting and not being able to find them. Are they rare, like diamonds? I’ve never heard somebody say, “Man, that was a good knish I had yesterday.” It’s always, “Man, I can’t get a knish around here. Why is there no knish?” Also, it seems that the only verb that is used with knish is “get.” You never “find” a knish, or “eat” one, or “have” one. You get it.
Just some musings on something that, to this American, is more foreign than kimchi or dwenjang chigae.
When I was growing up in the Bronx, the knish was fairly common, almost as hot dogs.
Then I don’t know what happened. I suspect with the various health-consciousness fads, Eastern European Ashkenazic food, including the potato latke, which is greasy, fell out of favor while Mediterranean Sephardic food, big on hummus and vegetables, gained popularity.
But here in NYC, one can get a knish at Katz’s Delicatessen, in the Lower East Side, which has been around for over a hundred years. They also have the best hot pastrami sandwiches, which goes well with half-sour pickles, pickled tomatoes, and Dr Brown’s celery soda.
It sounds delicious. You buyin’?
hmm… maybe 중앙일보 is reading the MH too… they seem to have changed the caption. It’s no less cryptic than before, but at least it can’t be accused of being insensitive to our Jewish friends.
