Well, not just sides notes, but notes so tangential they are more like seven degrees of separation notes.

I am talking about Fleur Pellerin, France's First Korean-Born Minister, who I discovered while reading this,

"Asiana crash a point of national shame for Koreans"

I was surprised I had missed mention of her before, given the Korean media's obsession of ethnic Koreans making it big elsewhere.(Hines Ward, for example). Not that I have a problem with that.

I did a search on Dave's which turned up nothing on her. But Google had this from Arirang. She is not only intelligent, but quite attractive too.

One of the banners that runs across the screen states that "She dreams of being a bridge between France and her nation of birth", but she doesn't really say it like that in the interview -she says "perhaps" she could bring the two countries closer. She makes it clear she considers herself French.

Has anyone else heard of her?

I haven't but if she's an adopted-out baby then she'll have to do quite a bit more than minister for small-business of Socialist government of France. Expats overseas, gyopos in K, adopted-out babies, yuhaksaeng (studied overseas), draft-dodgers, i-se (2nd gen) etc all face 'you are not 100%' to some degree.
