Is there really such a cult, or is this just a sub-culture? I'd remembered hearing it's gathering in strength there in Korea, so I wonder if you all have heard anything about it. Apparently some people do have an obsession to drink blood, but I wonder what the real meaning of vampirism entails. I think in Korea it's one founded upon sexual arousal via drinking blood.

I'm writing an article about cults and would appreciate any info.

Is this a joke? Never mind, I'll laugh anyway. Hahahahaha!

No, this isn't a joke. Anyone else know something about this sub-culture? I've read in the Korean Herald that it's a real belief there in Korea amongst some people, and of course, a belief worldwide.

Time to dust off the Christian Death records and find my black nail polish.

It's not that the idea of people who get off on drinking blood is so weird. It's the thought that this is somehow a big thing in Korea. Korea! Of all places! I don't buy it.

Sexual perversion, social acceptance, ignorant rebellion or romanticism.

Yeah, a lot of "goths" back home did that. They were mostly idiots, as is anyone who goes around above the age of twenty-one pretending they're a "goth".

Remember when you cut yourself, it's down the highway not across the street.

Aren't vamps those women that your mother warned you about - always wanting you to "come up & see me some time" & asking "you know how to whistle don't you....just put your lips together & bloooooooow" & so on. I didn't know they drank blood too! Maybe your mother was right.

You wouldn't happen to have a link to this article would you?

(Sorry for the tardy response.)

What kind of article are you looking to write? Are you simply going to describe the facts as you understand them, or will it have a sensationalistic spin along the lines of, "The Vamps are coming! They're going to drink our blood!"?
