Cyworld US Doesn’t Know “Graceful Sunset”

This is from last week, but definitely needs revisiting. Cyworld US announced it’s closing its service. Well, services can close (though basically it’s a disaster and it shouldn’t happen, as people lose their data), but the real problem is how horribly the company is handling the whole situation. I am appalled by the lack of professionalism in the email notice they sent out. How could they not hire a single English-speaking person to write an email of this importance? The email is so full of grammatical errors that almost half of commenters in the Techcrunch article actually think it was poorly translated by Google Translate, while the email was originally written in English.

N.Korea Ends Experiment with TV Commercials

2009 November 9

Posted on  english.chosun.com

North Korea stopped TV commercials in late August, less than two months after they started to be shown in July. A Unification Ministry official on Sunday said occasional advertising of goods on [North] Korean Central TV started July 2 with a commercial for Taedonggang Beer but stopped on Aug. 29.

Quoting a North Korea source, the Yonhap news agency reported that North Korean leader Kim Jong-il fired Cha Sung-su, chairman of the Central Broadcasting Commission in charge of all TV programs. Kim was said to have been “enraged” because he regards commercials as the thin end of the wedge of Chinese-style market reforms. The ministry said the firing has not been confirmed.

Bacchus-D vs. Red Bull: The Difference

2009 November 4
by vaiguoren

Posted on koreamelon.com

Long beforeRed Bull , there was Bacchus-D.  Developed by South Korean Dong-A Pharmaceutical over 35 years ago, Bacchus-D is Korea’s #1 sold energy drink.  It’s tiny vial contains 2,000 mg of taurine, enough to give you a great boost of energy for that laboring day.

bacchus-d

(Source:03-x.com)

It’s a temporary cure for fatigue, and can help before and after being sick with flu, anorexia, dystrophy, and a number of other ailments.

So, how does Bacchus compare with Red Bull?  I asked myself this question while I was studying for final exams once.  I decided to give them both a try.  No, not at the same time!  I tried Red Bull an hour just before an important math test.  Turned out I was able to concentrate like I never have before and aced that test!  It was an amazing feeling.  I was full of confidence and stamina.  Of course, I studied immensely the night before as well.

Minerva saga continues with lawsuits

2009 November 2

Posted on Korea Beat

31-year old Park Dae-seong, the controversial internet “Minerva”, has complained to police that a fake Minerva known as Mr. K used Mr. Park’s name in the monthly magazine Shin Dong-A.

Mr. Park’s attorney Park Chan-jong, through his aide Kim Seung-min, announced, “Mr. K used Mr. Park’s pen name ‘Minerva’ to write Shin Dong-A articles in December 2008 and February 2009, damaging Mr. Park’s reputation… We plan to present our complaint against Mr. K for defamation to the Seocho Police Station in Seoul today.”

Mr. Park explained the background of the problem in his complaint. “The defendant claimed the plaintiff belonged to a group accused of murder, and wrote this while using the plaintiff’s name in the Shin Dong-A while the plaintiff was the subject of an investigation by prosecutors for violating the communications law.”

The Grand Narrative, Great Blog to follow

2009 November 1

Never happened to promote others Blog, but this time Reading Accurately The Grand Narrative Really I’ve understand what really everybody interested in Korea and especially about Korea society must Pay attention .

Like the tagline says, The Grand Narrative is about discussing Korean sociology through gender, advertising and popular culture, and in the process has become one of the leading internet sources for information on Korean gender issues, even getting a mention in TIME Magazine recently.

Ironically, this focus was not my original intention, but with Korea having such dubious honors as: the lowest birthrate in the world; the largest wage gap between men and women in the OECD; the lowest percentage of working women in the OECD; and actresses being sued by companies they endorse for being beaten by their husbands, then what soon emerges as the virtual gender apartheid that exists here renders those topics essential to understanding Korean society.
