Countdown to Korean media saturation.....5...4...3...
Sounds like he deserved to win though. I didn't watch it. Reality TV looks too weird to me.
Talk about an over-achiever!! Look at this guys biog!

| Holy sheet. Just reading his bio, and it's occured to me that this guy has achieved more at 31 than I will in 10 lifetimes. Bravo his life. |

[quote]
I've always found that to be a wierd thing about countries like Korea. I know they're not the only ones to do it - - i.e. to celebrate the accomplishments of someone who's only connection to their country is his genes. Thailand celebrates Tiger Woods. The Japanese celebrate an Japanese-American ice skater, among other examples.
I always think two thoughts when I see this happening:
1. He did it because he lives in America, not because he is Korean! And had he lived in Korea, he likely wouldn't have gone anywhere near as far as he has.
2. You have snide remarks and less than favorable attitudes about "gyopos" - - until one does something that you somehow feel you can claim to be a part of.
The guy certainly has done a lot in his life. And, I'm sure his parents' Korean belief in "the best" in education and competitive spirit served him well. But, a little reality check is in order!
Hmmm . . . maybe they would give him an international ATM card now.

Does the guy speak any Korean? Does he know anything about Korean culture? Has he ever even been here?
In short, does this guy have any idea about what's going to be waiting for him on the other side of the ocean? |

So were people supposed to wait for you to download it? Then check with you if you had watched it? When were people allowed to do a post about it? Next week? Next month? |
