Just wondering if anybody has found a shirt that says that in Korean. Would anything even occur to the Koreans who are ironically staring and see what the shirt says? Or will they not realize why the shirt says that? I'll make one, but I'm sure they exist already, yeah?

I have seen the '외국인 아님' t-shirt

Stare I think is 처다보다. So something like 처다보지마 [세요]

Never seen one though!

Actually the shirt could say, " Take a picture, it lasts longer."

according to my young female coteacher it's more along the lines of

WTF are you looking at?

which makes me like it THAT much more.

the Korean word is Mohl-Bah?!

(accent on the bah)

I've worn it to great effect. Younger Koreans crack up when they see it. I've even had an adjosshi stick his finger at the shirt, say the word and smile.

You guys really want to wear a shirt that looks straight out of Hot Topic? Shocked Whenever I see shirts like that ("Take a picture", "Your boyfriend thinks I'm hot", blah blah blah), I just think of trashy teenage emo stores...

Why don't you try to enjoy the attention that you are getting for the first time in your life?

Hmm....how about a shirt that says "I'm really self-conscious and paranoid" ?

Who stares, anyway?

If you wear that and walk on the street, people will think you are rude, espeically when you are a foreigner.

Yeah that shirt is going to get you more attention, not less. Koreans that have a sense of humor might find it funny. Koreans that don't might harass you.
