What does "World Korea" mean? I've tried to substitute in other names of countries, yet, it just doesn't work? Can anyone help? Shoot, I've even tried other nouns. Anyone?

are you a native english speaker? It really wasn't that difficult to figure out.

Its the Korean qualifier for the Mr World competition. Keep studying you'll get that TOIEC score you've always wanted!

It might be made clearer with a dash or a comma, but anyone with a pulse should be able to puzzle that out. Slow news day?

I wanted to blast you because I tend not to agree with you. Unfortunately, I looked at the article and it was immediately apparent that you were correct. Honestly, it took about 2 seconds to figure out what it meant. To the OP, please don't post trivial (and wrong!) stuff like this, because it undermines legitimate complaints about Korea.

I guess I just didn't get that it was a joke. I thought you were serious.

In the future, I will attempt to perceive that jokes such as this are simply too intelligent and ironic for my dimwitted mind to comprehend. I am not accustomed to jokes in which such vast amounts of irony are wielded as deftly as you did, OP. Consider me properly chastised. I will try to not let it happen again. Embarassed Now, if anybody has any scatological humor to share, I am sure I can at least understand that (I hope).

How can it be bitter? Most of the coffee in S. Korea comes in pre-measured packets which include sugar...
