Someone Buy Cheun-Heui Lee a Beer!

by Robert Koehler on July 22, 2009

Financial consultant Cheun-Heui Lee made my day:

Every time I read a piece by Jon Huer, I say to myself, “what a ridiculous bunch of nonsense,” but with his latest article “Is Korean Language Scientific?” Huer has managed to outdo himself.

For the most part, Huer’s lack of understanding of the Korean culture and lifestyle could be dismissed as being awfully out-of-touch. But this time he has raised his level of absurdity to the point of where one can easily conclude that Huer has no idea what he is talking about with his latest piece.
[...]
Every time I read a piece by Jon Huer, the only sense I feel is that of sheer embarrassment. Why The Korea Times continues to provide space for Huer’s ridiculous musings is way beyond anybody’s guess.

Bravo.

When Huer the idiot boy has been criticized by us waygookin, he has just dismissed (even in print) as angry, “unqualified” whiteys who don’t know anything about Korea.
Now, a bonafide Korean is weighing in on what ridiculous nonsense that Huer vomits up.
Wonder what Jonny will make of this!
2 Arghaeri July 22, 2009 at 3:04 pm: Cheun may be a gyopo, the english seemed quite natural including the errors, so Heur’ll probably still dismiss it as an unqualified person unable to break through the mysteries…..

You sure that Korean is bonafide?

“As a Korean American who’s lived in Seoul for the past 11 years…”

I believe Huer will find it harder to dismiss this out of hand.
Of course, Huer is so ridiculous, so full of sh*t, and so full of himself that
nothing from him surprises me.
