It's beamed all over Southeast Asia, in a pathetic attempt to 'bring Korea to the world', but no one is watching (except for the BBC News). Most SE Asians are already wise to Koreans as obtuse, insensitive, drunken slobs. While that is not true of most Koreans, it's the image that they project abroad.

Though it may make little sense to have a foreigner to teach Korean - and I just think he's a loud obnoxious meat - he seems to be more than qualified:

The ad for Samyak Foods after the Arirang News turned me off to their products. I like to drink soy milk everyday, but I switched to another brand after seeing their commercial even though the other brand is 200 won more expensive. I just can't have my money going to support such in-your-face Christianity.
Sorry, God, but I don't trust you with my soybeans.

When do they have BBC news? is it in the morning? I haven't seen it.

After watching Arirang, I'm now convinced that green tea and purple bamboo-salt are the greatest substances ever discovered.
No wonder everyone is able to chain-smoke and not keel over.
