I teach at 5 schools. Each has an old ajoshi principal with gray hair. Each also has at least one other male teacher who is an old gray-haired ajoshi. This week, every one of these men came to work with his hair dyed black (granted, in about 1/2 of the cases, there weren't many hairs left to dye black on those old ajoshi heads).

What gives? Is it like 'National Patriotic Korean Black Hair Week?"

My MIL just came back from the hair shop. I'm not joking her hair is purple. WTF. I have seen some old women around with purple hair, but now I can't stop laughing she is walking around looking in the mirror and how well she looks. My wife always told me her mother was not an azuma but, in the last 2 months since she retired from her job it's been all down hill.

They're trying to stave off inquiries into why they haven't been forced to retire.

"Nothing to see here. I have black hair and my vitality is intact. Please don't relegate me to the dustbin, as I will then have nothing to do except climb mountains and drink soju with my afro-permed wife, who is also showing quite a bit of scalp these days."

While I am still in my mid-thirties, some of my good friends are older Korean guys. They have confessed to me that this is exactly what they are trying to avoid.
