THE GOOD:

- the Korean dancers (they were incredible)

- that one Korean girl with the slamming body who won one of the raffle prize (one of the hottest girls i've ever seen)

- the other younger Korean girl who was one of the hosts (her english was bad, but she was sexy)

- that crazy Korean lady handing out the door prizes (she had my friend and I laughing the whole time)

- the Chinese-Beyonce singer (that Chinese girl cound dance!)

- the "living in Korea" skit (very funny stuff)


THE BAD

- Barbie Girl song - I wanted to shoot myself

- No Doubt song - I wanted to slit my wrists

- Broadway play song - I wanted to burn myself alive

- All three put together - I would rather cut my balls off and stab my eyes with a rusty spoon that sit through those three performances again.

They had pop music, K-girlie dancers and karaoke?
A raffle and door prizes??
Korean girls with "slamming bodies"???

Some seminar! Shocked

And yet, everybody still hated it, right? Confused Well then maybe they should have cracked open the soju & beer at one point, have everyone do poktanju until they're exchanging underwear... kisaeng chip stylee.

The ministry of what??? This really doesn't sound like a Korean Ministry of ANYTHING-hosted event.

Gotta be some weird inside joke here. Gotta be.

Yes, some. And some of that recently.

Oh, and the fact that this reference could scarcely have less to do with the thread topic was not going to stop me. Certain Korean customs just don't get the airtime on Dave's they deserve. Cool

It seriously did happen, and although it did have a couple of top notch ladies and some cool Korean drummers; it was over all a complete wast of time.

Do you guys all work for the same company, albeit different branches? This sounds like the YBM "thank you" banquet we were required to attend last week. That's the only mandatory seminar that I've heard of.

I had to attend this last year, and it wasn't anything like that YBM crap we had to endure recently. For example, there wasn't a booze store handy in the building.




I had to go all the way to the LG on the corner to get knackered beforehand.

I went to one in Bucheon a few weeks ago. The speakers spoke horrible English so I left after 15 minutes. I've never heard of the Saturday session.
