Korean Government Decides on New ESL Law
The Korean Government passed a new law regarding the ESL industry in Korea last Thursday. Asked what the law would entail, Rep Lee Un-Soo said, "well, I'm not sure, I think it has something to do with visa certification and taxes. However, I am sure that it will be very effective in improving the ESL industry in Korea and helping Korea to become a more transparent, modern and developed nation."
An immigration official at Omokkyo offered the following statement. "I heard about something. I'm not sure what it means though. Maybe it has to do with proper forms or something."
A local ESL industry professional (Hagwon owner) offered a more nebulous interpretation of the new law; "I think they might have changed a rule related to contracts....but I'm not exactly sure what this will all mean."

Not surprising in the least. Considering the until now, on-going world-wide bad publicity about Hogwans/Korean biz practices(which cast negative connotations on the moral integrity of an entire nation), a clean-up had to eventually be effected. This has been coming for years.
BTW: do you have a link for this article? |

| I think you have been punked. If you look at the thread called Korean Onion you will see that it is a joke. |

Mokcheon Ajumma Shunned for Straight Hair
Kang Eun-Young, a 54 year-old vegetable saleeslady in a small town outside of Cheonan is being totally shunned by other ajummas in her area. The reason for the ostrcism, Ms. Kang refuses to get a perm.
"Frankly, I think getting a perm makes no sense. It costs money and I think they look ridiculous," Kang said to reporters. Meanwhile, one of the leading shunners, a Ms. Kim, 64, stated,"Who does she think she is? Some juicy girl?." The women agree on one thing though, as they both wore humongous visors. |
It's all on http://theyangpa.tripod.com/. Have a good laugh. No, I didn't edit these satirical articles. But I want to know who writes this silly page.

i'm sure the person who writes it reads this site... so, assuming he/she is, let's help him out with headlines for the next edition.
"Kimchi/Stomach Cancer Link Declared Unconstitutional by Korean Supreme Court Judge"
"SNU Excavation Team Unveils 'Incheon Man', Oldest Human Burial Site Found Yet"
"Public Drunkenness Happens 'Rarely, if at All', According to Seoul Police Chief"
and my special human interest/food feature
