She has no business being on that show, as several of the guests are fugly. She ain't fugly but she sure is FAR from a beauty.
Maybe if they keep letting peeps like her in, they have to rename the show Mutant Suda. |

Last time this show was in the news it was an episode ripping on foreign guys in Korea.
http://briandeutsch.blogspot.com/2009/07/since-those-foreign-girls-put-out-so.html
I wonder how much of that was scripted by the male writers. The show's premise is fluffing the, um, egos of the male panelists, writers, and viewers.
But as soon as a foreigner opens her mouth against Korea, the netizens come out. |

| I guess she's never been to Tokyo if she thinks the Seoul subway system is crowded. So much for a "well-educated" European. |

Please don't forget that almost any soup-type thing has a meat or fish or seafood stock, that kimchi often has fish paste in it, and that countless things that seem vegetarian are really not.
Korea is not impossible to be vegetarian in, but it is definitely not "much easier than many other countries". Although I guess it depends on which countries.
There are a lot of vegetarian restaurants around and of course you can cook your own food, and I have enough Korean to order things without meat, etc. But ask a vegetarian, and none of them consider Korea to be an easy place to be vegetarian in. |

Outside of Seoul, there are NOT many veggie restaurants.
Even trying to order a Kimbab without ham is a challenge.
"Kimbab han-jul ju-se-yo, Hem bek-uh-yo"
-"Ye."
And then she puts in the ham. |

You should be using 없이 for "without" if you want to remove something from a dish. |

Not sure about outside of Seoul but at any Kimbab Jeong-guk just say "Geunyang Kimbap" and that's regular standard Kimbap which doesn't have meat.
Here's a list of vegetarian foods. Vegetarian's have it tough almost anywhere, my point is Korea is little if any different and the Korean diet being largely agricultural based as well as having roots in Buddhism will be easier to live off of vegetables than in many other countries including western countries. ALSO it depends on how strict a vegetarian you are. If you are very strict and won't eat any animal products or flesh of any kind including eggs, shellfish, or seafood, than you're going to trouble anywhere it's not a "Korean sux" thing.

How is that bad English? He didn't capitalize "i"? This is the web, where "I would of did it" and "I know a great amount of people that..." are standard parlance.
And I agree with Red Devil on this one: over generalizations.
Much as I hate misuda, that is. Chat with beauties, perhaps. Chat with smarties (as someone on this site has beat me to, and I love the phrase), not. |

You can also say "Bae-goh" (take out) |

I am not vegetarian but these are just the ones that jumped out at me. Hell even kimchi often has seafood in it. If you ate no meat or seafood (or have a seafood allergy) it would be very difficult |

It's hard to find vegetarian foods or restaurants outside of Seoul?
Clearly, you've never set a foot outside of Seoul. Fact. |
