I was at a University music festival tonight with my adult students when suddenly the performances swung into the F'ing USA song. Being the only foreigner there, everyone kept staring at me. Yes, I'm from America. The only thing that bothered me about it was the place was loaded with young children. The fat singer would scream, "f'ing!" and the audience would scream back "USA!"...with quite a lot of applause at the end of the song, I was surprised. Way to teach children to to celebrate swearing and hatred.

That's pretty bad and pretty sickening. If I was there I would have walked away sing the tune differently.

Helicopters should have been deployed to strafe the crowd.

Seriously though, one of these days the US is going to pull the Korean mouth away from Uncle Sam's titty. I hope Koreans enjoy being Northeast Asia's version of Mexico.

Can't say that I'd give a damn either.

It's also like my class of 2nd graders who sing that "F@@@ You!" techno song and giggle. I should sing a rousing chorus of "Dae Han Min Guk SHEEBAAAWWWLL!" and we can all join in on the laughter.

Heroes Walk Among Us
The doyen of anti-American Korean pop stars is Yoon Min-sok, author of "*beep* U.S.A.," a song whose title often appears on buttons and placards at demonstrations across Korea. So entrenched is the song in the Korean psyche that even middle school students have been known to sing the lyrics in front of their American English teachers.

Yoon's song calls America a "nasty nation" and a "vulgar country" that "tries to rob everything by force." According to Yoon, America is the true enemy of the Korean people and the cause of all their woes:

Is the U.S.A. still a beautiful country?
Is the North still an "enemy" to be killed?
How much more do you want to endure?
It's time to shout: "Yankee, go home!"
You dirty Yankees, wait and see
We will reunify the country with the independent force
of the Korean nation
We will build a dignified country, a reunified country
Don't forget the blood-stained history of Korea!
You, author of Korea's division, *beep* USA!
Don't forget the Nogun-ri massacre of civilians!
You, murderer, *beep* USA!

Perhaps the greatest affront to the Americans that fought and died during the Korean War has been young South Koreans' treatment of the American flag. After staging an anti-American demonstration around
noon, a group of youths belonging to the pro-North Korean student
organization Hanchongnyun broke into a U.S. military compound in
Seoul, setting fire to an American flag and calling for the withdrawal
of U.S. forces from Korea.

One version was not enough. Another version was made.

I have heard different types of songs against the US but i think that takes the cake for being the worst I have seen. Anyone think they could survive without the US pumping money into there economy

The collective stupidity of some Koreans just baffles me. Especially ones who believe the USA is responsible for the two Koreas remaining divided.

Unless these same individuals want the entire peninsula to be a stalinist state.

Even the left of centre Uri Party has no intention of asking the US to leave. Hanchongnyun can stuff it.

I am always puzzled by the "America prevents our reunification" bullshit. I have had discussions with Koreans who believe that the Korean war was a foreign invention. It never occured to them that Koreans actually took up arms to fend off the red North's menace. That "pucking" USA song is pathetic. If those fucks don't like the US, and the results of it's influence in the South, maybe they should blame their great grandparents for not going to live in North Korea at the end of world war 2. Stupid fucks.

I thought of walking off, really...but that would have been so obvious. Everyone was drinking soju and acting like idiots, so that would probably have just caused trouble. I just stayed quiet and left a few songs later. I felt bad for my students. They looked really awkward. It was disturbing, the round of applause, people next to me cheering at the conclusion of the performance.
