Old Korean dude ranting about all things Korea (mostly in English, but might get a bit 짬봉, if you know what I mean).

Is that Trump’s testicle?

I’m thinking it will take a day or two before he (and that fool 김용현) realize that they’ve made a fatal error.

I think they grab ‘em off the street. And it’s a real shame. And I think it’s made worse because you see them next to real Korean actors, and the contrast is striking.

For people who don’t know, Jo Duck Bai had his musical career derailed because of drugs. He is definitely worth checking out. This is 꿈에 (In Dreams). By this point, he was a broken man. Really, really sad to watch.

The song was beautifully covered by IU:

Which, incidentally, leads to the question - what would Korean music sound like if they WERE doing drugs? Probably something like this:

You wonder why people working in president’s office calls her VIP1 and him VIP2. And VIP 2 is way, way behind VIP1. She runs the show. He is just a ventriloquist’s dummy.

Meanwhile, Yoon’s ass-licking political monkeys, Kang Jae-won and Kwon Sung-dong are wondering why they can’t get their man in office. They soon figure out this Myung dude who keeps going up to see KGH at her home is up to something.
November 20, 2024 at 1:10 AM
Myung - basically, this nobody - is laughing his head off because he himself is ultimately making the key decisions. He’s insightful enough to realize that SHE is the key, and there is no point focusing on Yoon.
November 20, 2024 at 1:10 AM
Does he try to influence Yoon directly? No. He talks to Yoon’s wife KGH. Does KGH try to influence Yoon? No. She calls up Yoon Han-hong directly and tells him he’s not getting the job. She then calls her husband, the new president, and tells him that he should be aware of her decision.
November 20, 2024 at 1:10 AM
So a man named Yoon Han-hong (윤한홍) is being considered for the Chief Secretary position (I believe, called the Chief of Staff in the US ? - although the work may be different). Anyway, it’s 비서실장 in Korean. But Myung doesn’t like him for some reason.

But normally, how would this work if someone is trying to influence the decision-making process? They would try to influence the president, or try to influence someone who would then try to influence the president.

Is this what is happening here? Not a chance.

Of the latest batch of tapes, one really sheds light on the dynamics of how the presidential office decision making process happens.

His wife Kim Geun-hee (KGH) is accused of meddling in the nomination process for various political offices, and also involving herself in personnel decisions.

he’s admitting - that she is answering “thousands of texts” not to thank their supporters and well-wishers, but as a scheme to win voters. “All these people are voters,” she said, and he now repeats admiringly.

A vapid moron. Korea’s favorite idiot.

was using his phone, impersonating him, answering texts on his behalf to God knows who
2) when he said 미쳤냐 (are you crazy?) - he’s not saying, “Why are you using my phone? Are you crazy?” He is saying, “Why are you working so hard? Are you crazy?"
3) frankly admits - and doesn’t seem to know that
November 18, 2024 at 9:17 PM
3) never mind that he recalls the time he found his wife awake all nights answering texts and said to her “미쳤냐” (are you crazy?)
4) never mind that his answer is meandering and barely coherent

What we should focus on is the fact that:
1) as many have commented on, he is admitting that his wife

What people like this Kim Gyu Na don’t realize is that her fear of distortion is what clips her imaginative wings, and that’s why she’s not winning all those prizes that she covets so much.
