I like Mikeinkorea, but he's not that big TBH. Just an average guy with a passion for film making.

It shouldn't be hard to get a table at a place called "The Table"

wow, this is exactly the definition of a one-sided story, because you only posted his text messages. Phones record sent messages too why don't you post those as well? Everybody loves reading a chat log now and then.

I've worked both with him and for him, and would not do the latter again. As an agent, he does not look out for you. He hung me out to dry, and then tried to guilt me about it.

He's a nice enough guy to shoot the shit with, but a horrible agent IMO.

This post doesn't surprise me one bit.

How to define if one is famous or not, with a Korean standard or a Waegook standard?

Who are famous Waegookin in Korea, please name some.

Relatively speaking, he is more well known than other foreigners in Korea but he's hardly "famous" is he?

A while back I found a post by the OP selling software.

Turns out he was selling copies, and they weren't cheap either.
I politely said, 'Well, no thanks.' and then he turned into a sarcasm
machine.
Something along the lines of 'Well, your mother must be very proud of you'

Someone mentioned earlier that it would be interesting to see his texts to
Mike... I agree. I have no qualms with Mike after reading all of this. OP
just sounds like a child IMO.

Even after reading about experiences from people such as myself who were hung by him?

You should have asked me, I have all kinds of software copies, and I give them out for free Wink

I don't know anything about 'mikeinkorea'.
I prefer to make up my own mind about people.
