The “Korean news-wheel” has been stuck on the “Evil English Teacher” peg for quite some while now!

Somebody out there must be salivating for a “Dok-Do” or “Evil-USFK” rant.

That makes no sense at all.

The most important thing to there being “justice” is that the creator is publicly identified. (and linked to Anti-English Spectrum, if that’s the case) Regardless of whether or not any laws were broken.

Whatever the law calls for. Whether the blog is real or fake, either way some laws have been broken, and the people responsible for that should face the consequences. What else could you think I mean by justice?

First of all there would be a drastic difference in justice depending on whether the actions indicated in the blog were true or just an attempt at trolling a country. If real, then I could agree with you.

If they are fake, I would like to know what law or laws were broken. Even more interesting I would like to know what you think is suitable justice for hurting Korean feelings.

That’s what I mean. Not some random call for non-specific “justice”.

✿⊹⊱⋛☃⋚⊰⊹✿,

Excellent point and advice.

Controversy sells.

They don’t deserve the attention we are giving them.

You know, all reporters have their blogs. They are given by the company whether they are dormant or not. Ms. Choi’s blog is http://blog.chosun.com/heesun9066
And, now, you know her Cyworld homepage and e-mail address.

You here and there rant about every bad reports on English teahcers. Every Korean news company knows this and every Korean news company produces bad reports on English teachers. Clicking occurs enormously and thus makes heavy traffic to the company’s site. Both Koreans and English teachers make fiery comments, and much more traffic. Reporters also go to the fame and become celebrities.
Money and and fame comes into their pockets and they giggle when you all rant out here. Do not give links to the Korean news sites.

Ms. Choi wrote, 미국에서 유학 중인 인턴기자가 지난해 방학 때 한국에 와서 입양단체와 한인 입양아들의 가족 상봉을 돕는 봉사활동을 할 때의 일이었다. Her sentence construction is clumsy, so I cannot induce coerrect data from the above writing of hers. But, anyway, she was studying in America in 2008.

I saw this report on TV. A shaky camera entered the room, focusing on the craps table and blurring out the faces of the people who were most likely Korean nationals to make it appear as if a bust were being shown.

In the next shot, wads of money suddenly appeared on the table with no explanation of how it happened to be placed there between shots as the announcer made claims of huge amounts of money having been confiscated ( a likely story).

Finally a knife with burn marks was show as evidence of a drug ring.

Sad.
