| A country is erupting over a non-issue, the eruption over a non-issue is an important issue, even if it should be a non-issue. |

| Given that the *entire cabinet* offered to resign regarding the issue (this is unprecendeted as far as I know; even during Watergate the whole administration resigning except the President would be unthinkable), there's been non-stop protests in the country over the past 2 months or so, and every time I click the Korean Herald/Times at least 2 to 3 headines are devoted to the subject, it's probably natural it would be a "hot topic", as my students like to call it. |

Yes, and fortunately, the Koreans will be too. 
As my older brother used to tell me when my mother would nag me about some threat facing pre-teen kids, "Don't worry, dude. Something else will be on Oprah tomorrow." |
