I strongly believe there's too much English used in Korea, that this overuse has negative consequences for students of English and regular citizens alike, and that it'd be healthy to use more Korean in Korean.

Koreans tend to show greater hospitality to Western tourists than to their Asian neighbors, the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute said yesterday.
The institute's latest survey of 5,822 inbound tourists from 16 countries during the first half of 2009 revealed a disparity in satisfaction between visitors from the West and visitors from Asian countries.

I don't get the humor with just about every male I work with thinking it's funny to sneak up on me and make me jump three feet when I'm in the middle of working on something/feeling peaceful. Takes forever for my heart rate to go back to normal.
I also hate:
stooge1: finally stopped after repeated requests only when I lit into him/lashed out and decked him (I don't take being snuck up on well.)
stooge2: He thinks its funny and I suppose is following by example...except...he just really really sucks at; he needs to realize soon that he just can't do it and only comes off as annoying or I'll have to get mean soon. :/
stooge3: has no relation to stooge1 or 2 but decided that this was how he'd start greeting me. (Well at least he cut it out the first time I told him it was stupid.)

Aerobic dance routine in Heartbeat's choreography?
Netizens are saying how the pyramid dance move is reminding them of Infinite Challenge's aerobic dance move. This bought a smile to the 2PM's fans.
Even though it's similar, it has a totally different vibe. The fans never thought the pyramid choreography was an aerobic routine. It's just fun to compare the two teams.
Also, the netizens are saying how the choreography would have been better if Jaebeom was part of it.

Girl group Kara's 'goddess' Park Gyuri has raised a few eyebrows with her recent confession about her past kicking the Ex-President's grandson. On the 14th broadcast of Star Golden Bell when asked the question "Who have you violently kicked in a fit of rage?", Gyuri shockingly answered "I kicked Ex-President Kim Young Sam's grandson".
Park Gyuri further explained "I went to the same kindergarten as Ex-President Kim Young Sam's. He used to like me a lot but he met a pretty girl from another classroom, so after she came he dumped me."
She said "It was shocking at such a young age; I connected with that guy. He was 5 and I was 6."
This has led to viewers asking about the identity of the kindergarten they attended.

Having been lambasted by many since the airing of the latest episode of Chitchat with Beauties on the 9th, the entire production team have taken full responsibility for their error and quit the show upon request by KBS.
On the 9th November episode of Chitchat with Beauties, a female college student named Miss Lee from Hongik University was asked whether she dates short guys. She expressed, "First of all, I don't like guys who are short. In a society that places a premium on looks, guys who are short are losers. Guys should be at least 1.8m (5'11") tall."
Her unedited comments were lambasted by many in Korea after it was aired. Fierce criticisms came from all directions, with one guy even suing KBS for emotional hurt caused by this and asked for 10 million KRW in compensation. Miss Lee also became the No.1 target of the internet terror squad.
Even though Miss Lee later said that she was only following the script, the damage was irreversible. Regardless of whether it was scripted, the problem was that it was aired out in full without any form of editing. The program was not a live broadcast so there should be ample time for editing, but it decided to further stamp home the discrimination against short guys by adding the english subtitle of "loser".
KBS has admitted to making a grave mistake and apologized for creating an uproar in Korea in the the past week for failure in policing its broadcasting material on the 12th in an official statement. Another apology followed on the 13th but the backlash continued. KBS thus decided that the whole production team will exit the show on the 14th.

Super Junior was selected as the group with the best introduction on KBS Enetertainment Relay broadcasted on the 14th.
Heo EunAh, President for Korea’s Association of Image Consultants International mentioned “During introduction, action speak louder than words, When you use the palm it helps 84% of the time, the back of the hand 52% and fingers 28%” and “therefore Super Junior’s ‘We are Super Junior’ is the best introduction.”
Professor Heo EunAh said: there’s an effect of letting one remember by arousing one’s curiosity” and “there is rhythm so you won’t get tired of listening and you feel like you want to listen to it again” says it all.

Turns out I AM shamelessly self-promoting after all!
Thinky thoughts for 2x02 Baneling.
Like a children's book it comes with pictures. Unlike a children's book, it comes without an editor or censorship board, both of which I could probably benefit from :P

Tonight I attended U-kiss' Fan signing at COEX Mall in Samsung-dong. It was held by Evan's Records to promote their 3rd mini album Continukiss. There's more information about my experience beneath the cut. I took all the photos in this post - apologies for the quality. The lighting set up was bad in the area they held it in.
