I've noticed that a lot of Korean webpages require you to use web options that can allow other computers to control your computer. Koreans think it makes for snazzy pages. the problem is that these options are a surf risk. I'm sure th Korean herald will not damage your computer, but you leave your guard down when you enable these options.

Um, i think.

Same here. Actually I get that with the Korea Times once in a while, too.

It's not really worth it to read the Herald online since you can't link to the articles and can't copy and paste text.

It would be comical were it not so morally disheartening. Busload after busload of Cheongdo county residents shamefacedly deposited themselves in front of the local police station, admitting to receiving bribes in what is turning out to be the largest vote-buying scandal in the nation's history.

As many as 1,000 voters in this sleepy provincial area of North Gyeongsang Province are expected to be charged with accepting money from Chung Han-tae, the reelected county chief who along with at least 42 others, was arrested for violating the election law on Dec. 19. But this is just the tip of the iceberg.
