 |
|
Was waiting for the subway and I saw there was a front page story on one of the tabloids for sale ... I don't speak Korean but judging by the photo (anonymous white guy with scantily dressed Korea girl) and the words I could make out the story seemed to be something about English teachers ... 
don't know the name of the paper but I remember their url: www.breaknews.com
tried to check out the site but couldn't find anything ... can anyone shed any light on this? |

Bumppity bump, bump, bump.
Ask the Yank named Robert Koehler, the former editor/translator for the Choson Ilbo. He lives in Haeboncheon, Yongsan-gu, and is the dude who does up the neat blog entitled, "The Marmot's Hole." Donuts to donairs says that he'd translate it for you in a jiffy.
"... and I say, Roch on! Yeah, Roch on." |

I couldn't find anything on their web page ... I just gave that for a reference, maybe someone who reads Korean well could find the story ...
http://www.breaknews.com/
the newpaper, however, is available at subway newstands, and you can see the picture in all its glory on the front page ...
I glanced at the date on the paper ... can't remember it now but I think they will be selling it for a few more days ...
Anyone else seen it? Anyone who can actually read it? |

is this the article?
I believe the headline is English Instructor: money, girls, and drugs (last part I don't know) |

It might as well be the story in question, P.Y.T./Q, Super Hero, et-al. |

| Looks like that's the one. It appears to have generated a total of one comment in its five days on the site (now off the front). |

| Picture of a white dude with a fully-clothed Korean girl. That will no doubt generate tons of righteous outrage. |

Funny stuff. Are you sure this isn't some sort of Korean "Mad" magazine?  |

| Oh, and the pic of a bunch of people eating some fast food stuff- does the caption read, "Get a real job, and lose some weight ,you damn hippies?" |
