 |
|
| I was in Anyang a week back and saw tons of people posing for pictures and covering one eye with their hand. Does this mean anything in Korea? I saw like 15 different people doing this. Anyone know about this? |

| According to asmith covering one eye is a sign of the future economic meltdown. |

Ha!

now that the OP mentions this, I recently took a pic of one my girl students during a field trip and I noticed she did this too for some inexplicable reason. |

| I have to see this for myself, but I'm gonna guess that it's probably just one of the many things people here do to make themselves looks "cute" in pictures. |

VERY odd.. 
Just like the one with two fists under the eyes, which some Korean women seem to like doing. |

I think that is so simulate crying.
The covering one eye..
just asked my korean friend, they have no idea. Nothing too mainstream.
I found a korean article on it:
http://www.dal.kr/blog/002026.html
some professor named ahn sang-soo decided to start taking the photos of people doing that whenever he met them. Might be some kind of art project. |

| My first reaction was that it's stupid, but the more I looked at the pictures, the funnier it became. Not as cool as the guy who danced around the world, but, still, kind of cool. |

I doubt it will catch on. Koreans aren't that into fads.
