Korean Job Discussion Forums

[Reflections]

Has anyone else noticed that the presenter, Miss Ahn from Heart to Heart fame, has dimples that seem to be getting deeper. It's like something from that recent horror/action movie, 'The Cave'.

The reason for this is the answers or dialogue from the guests, as there's
a definite correlation between their flattering remarks about Korea and the depth of those dimples.

Never was this more evident than during her recent interview with the founder of the 'Body Shop' chain. Miss Body Shop made a passing flattering comment about the lovely quality of Korean's beautiful thick skin. It could have been the Corona, but I thought Miss Dimple's dimples were about to cave in. It was truely a surreal sight.

Also, ever since she cut her hair, which in turn exposed her ears 24/7, she loosely resembles a Korean version of Gollum, because she has those strange little triangular pointy ears with the acutely 'fixed' earlobes. "Hello my precious, welcome to Dimple to Dimple, what do YOU like about Korea".

Actually, the most fascinating piece of trivia to ever come off Arirang funnily enough didn't come from a Korean, or wasn't directly related to Korea. It came from Miss Body Shop. She said something along the lines that: on a typical journey, a subway commuter ingests roughly the equivalent of one human's shedded skin cells. Because, the majority of dust is comprised of shedded skin cells. Miss Dimple sat stunned.

Then it suddenly dawned on me, I was in mortal danger. I had previously been consciously avoiding being in the vicinity of ajosshis on subway carriages due to their weathered soju skin and terrible golf matched attire.

Instead, I had preferred being in the area of 20+ something females with Lotte bags, long hair and hand phones on vibration. Aesthetically more pleasing to the eye.

So armed with this new knowledge and knowing the chemical crap they slap on their skin in their search for beauty, this previous relocation strategy wasn't probably such a good idea. But, if they used the Body Shops products, well. But, what the hell, maybe pick up a free moisturise in the process.

Now there's a novel marketing idea for the Seoul tourist office: agosshis to the front of the subway, charge admission and commuters can get a free moisturise on the way to work...and some massage for the 'elderly/first class' in the disabled seats.
