My Korean isn't great, but from what I can gather, the actress Kim Min-seon, who wrote on her blog that she'd rather drink acid than eat American beef, has been spotted eating a hamburger in America. If it's true, then, oh dear. American hamburgers are made from beef that's over thirty months old.

With any hope, she washed it down with a bottle of acid ...

According my gf, that picture was taken before the recent beef fiasco and her statements, but it still makes her look stupid.

She needs to be eatin' a big ol' plate of crow!

What an idiot!
I couldn't believe she made a public statement so dumb as "I'd rather drink poison than eat American beef!". But, then again, I am in Korea- where the unbelievable becomes reality, daily!

When that statement of her's came out, that week, my GF was watching the Onstyle channel and there is Kim Min Seon on one of those specialty international shopping trip shows, going through Vegas & L.A.
I bet she had a huge helping of L.A. galbi in Korea town.

Classic!
I bet a wallet full that she believes just that!

Hey, she meant it when she said it.

Then she got hungry.

I love when people say that. As if someone else doing it before makes this case any less stupid.

Thank goodness red devil joined Dave's just in time to offer us this nugget of genius. Yes, people are hypocrites for pointing out what a Korean celebrity said and did in the General Discussion forum. Joined 3 days ago and already on this track? Sock.

Of course we know that, but as someone alse said it doesn't make this actress any less stupid.

Oprah made that big announcement of "I will never eat another hamburger!" and it caused a little similar buzz in the U.S. a few years ago.
Guess how much respect I have for Oprah- zilch! nada!
She's an arrogant windbag!
If she had any sense, she'd realize that concerns of food safety are not the reason she should not be eating any burgers- her large a$$ is!

The picture was taken in March, but it shows that she can't remember where she was or what she did in the recent past.

Actually, I like her as a actress and unlike most Koreans, I find her to be very beautiful.

Part of me thinks that her comment may have been a kind of publicity stunt. Soon she'll be thirty years old and, as they did with Lee Hyori, people will be talking about how "old" she is.

Yup, in six hours, to be exact.

This sets a hilarious new precedent. Now, Korean celebs can't eat beef in public when they travel to America to find out what trends they should be following.

With that mound on her head and caterpillar eyebrows, I bet she's got massive chunks of hair under each arm, and a forest elsewhere.

Yuck.
