This is a huge news. Yahoo! Korea is famous for its "humor-joke" website (DCinside is the other popular Korean humor website). Will they be gone?
I don't know but it seems that this will become a huge impact for this year's presidential elections. For starters, Yahoo! Korea is an online playground for Conservative right-wing activists.
Farewell, Yahoo!  |

| Good riddance Yahoo! Their website just gets worse by the week. If they left the internet there would not be much of a hole missing. Everything Yahoo does is done better by others IMO. |

Bashing any destructive political agenda (mostly conservative) in this country is a good thing.
Anyways, I'm very happy to hear that Yahoo! Korea is going down the drain. |

As opposed to the destructive Leftist agendas? The ones that take funding and instruction from the North?
Geez, must we always do this lame little dance? You get skunked every time, and it's getting quite stale. |

Haven't conservative parties been more pro-western in their international policies?
Also, isn't it a conservative party that elected Jasmine Lee, the Filipino who married a Korean? I remember on Korea bang a lot of left netziens called her names like monkey and gaesekki. |

No way. True Christians are always leftists. Truth will always set you free. I've told you many times. Don't get skunked by two awesome truths, Christianity and Socialism. 
Anyways, Yahoo! Korea has always been criticized for the past 3-4 years due to its dodgy political connections. It's a symbolic thing. Masayoshi Son (Japanese businessman of Korean descendant, very left wing) will likely take over Yahoo! in 3 years. You need to correct the world one by one. |
