So let’s get this straight… exporting Korean culture everywhere is good.. but accepting any culture (and oh hell no not Japan’s!) is going to lead to domination of Korea?

Jesus mother of pete, if stupidity were ranked internationally, Korea would finally get a #1 ranking of something they so want.

I actually feel bad for Koreans how stupid their media makes them out to be.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Shiroi Kyoto (Great White Tower) was a Japanese medical drama that originally premiered in 1978, and later another one in 2003. So the scripwriter Lee Ki-won of the Korean version of Shiroi Kyoto seems to be making some inferences on Korean consumers with their love-hate regard towards Japanese culture.

I agree. This is as rediculous as that “Bastardization of Japanese food overseas” thing.

Wow … How ridiculous. What gets me is that its not just the stupid ramblings of one individual. But there is a whole team of people, from the writer to the editor to the publisher perhaps even the owners… You let this go through…

That’s so stupid it almost does not deserve a response. Nice find James. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

The article ends with a nationalist appeal to entertainment companies, hoping that they will help cultivate young Korean writers, rather than leading Korea down a path that will lead to Japanese domination of Korea. Oh dear.

Yea I know. It sounds just like the, “downloading pirated movies funds the terrorists” crap we heard in the US a few years ago.
