Korean Job Discussion Forums

Are there Korean forums and websites that support political activism against official government policy? What is the law regarding these websites? Are there any Anti-American forums on the Internet supported by an online Korean community?

I've been told it's illegal to access N Korean websites from here, though I've managed to do it, and felt a little gleefully naughty afterwards. Legally, Koreans don't have the freedom of expression we do back in our countiries. In actuality, there's very little in the way of restrictions these days.

The Sunshine Policy changed a lot of stuff like that down here. Problem is, it didn't seem to change anything up there. Oh, well.

It would be interesting to read some of the forums to get a closer look at the Korean mindset. I understand that a forum is hardly the place to get an accurate insight into peoples personalities but it at least gives some indication into peoples interests.

I think that online internet forums/chat rooms etc. could be a powerful front for a cultural revolution/shift in attitudes, particularly with the Confucian system of being assigned an identity in society by default. If people are experimenting with new ideas and identities then the internet provides a medium in which to use these ideas with a degree of anonymity.

If only I could speak Korean.
