Apparently KT does lurk on Dave because the article's link doesn't seem to load.  |

Don't forget Jeju, the Hawaii of Korea.
Maybe Dokdo is the Falkland Islands or that island disputed by Greece and Turkey. (forgot the name)

Much as with many other Korean 'equivalents' to things American, the resemblance is scant, and the analogy is flawed.
Cheongwadae is called 'the Bluehouse' in a clumsy attempt to parallel the Whitehouse. Pa jeon is 'Korean pizza' for no other reason than that it has sort of the same shape. Hite, OB, and Cass like to call themselves 'beer'; and people who write for the Korea Times put the word 'journalist' on their name cards.
With this kind of thinking so common, it was almost inevitable that someone would call the sinking of the Cheonan the 'Korean 9/11'. |
