I was thinking about ending this with a "... ? You decide!" but decided against it.
Korea's Ugly Image in other Asian Countries
| Quote: |
| Some years ago, at an international conference [dealing with the theme:``Foreigners'Perspectives on Korean Society''] in June 1996, sponsored by the Forum of Democratic Leaders in the Asia-Pacific (FDL-AP), an NGO established by President Kim Dae-jung in December 1994, one Reverend Kim Hae-sung deliveredan extremely important paper with shocking stories, titled ``Don't beat me, please!'' |
| Quote: |
| Reverend Kim's conclusion: ``There are many upon many stories of this kind. All of them have one thing in common. If they were not Koreans, all those incidents would not have happened at all.'' Indeed, the report in 1996 said that a best selling book in Malaysia was titled ``Koreans, Sons of 8itches''!! |
I heard that the book mentioned above was the best-selling book in the history of the Philippines, but it might only be a rumor.
Does anyone know? |

| The site mentioned in that article (www.koreanchinese.com) doesn't exist. But maybe the article is more than 10 years old. At any rate, I don't think Koreans are terribly concerned about how they look to countries that they perceive as being poorer than them. It's all about hanging with the big boys. |

It is trye that Koreans are getting a gradually worsening reputation overseas but i suppose that goes hand in hand with increasing foreign travellers...
As Koreans become more seasoned travellers they shoul get better |
