Kim Min-jung, whose brother is part of a large Korean student population in Cologne, was awe-struck by the city�s magnificent cathedral outside the station but wondered where the party was.
�No one joins in when we sing �Dae-Han-Min-Kuk�,� said Kim, who could not resist clapping the remainder of the Korean fans� signature chant.
�People kept telling us to keep it down on the train. It was strange they didn�t want to enjoy themselves.� |
I just love that part of the story.  |

Not surprising at all. When I attended a "Hi Seoul" event a couple years ago, the guys on stage were singing a song with the refrain: "God bless Korea" (3x) follwed by either "Best in the all the world," or "Best among the world." I couldn't quite tell despite 100 repetitions. Then the guy leading the song said, "OK, now just the foreigners."
That story also reminds me of those obnoxious commercial (KTF or Sky?) where a bunch of Koreans in Europe basically annoy the people around them by either chanting or bumping into them repeatedly. |
