What Drove Sowon Hahm Up the Wall
Sowon Hahm is alleged to be enraged. The media report alleges that smile has disappeared from her face. What drove Sowon Hahm up the wall? The media report has it that the online road leading to the controversial site (www.hamsowon.net) is being continuously hooked up to murky adult sites by whch conduit for the smooth inflow of revenues turns out being clogged.
The online minefield of hate messages toward her overt exploitation of human vulnerability has forced potential male customers to balk at the idea of making an access to the site. In the meantime, 70 percent of initial 120,000 visitors have turned out to comprise young women who have been interested in Sowon's anatomy. Sowon Hahm and her promoter have evidently been irked by the bizarre turnout. In brief, the site has so far not been hacked down, but unexpected impediments have intermittently and ubiquitously been lurking on the way to the site.

The Press Conference on Her Nude Show
Ms Sowon Hahm (27) had a press conference at Hyatt Regency Hotel, Seoul, Korea (the Republic of) yesterday (Nov. 29, 2003) and released some defensive blahs on the motivation and the process of her on-line nude show. Her lips were glib while saying she had been so happy when she had had her body pictured in the nude. She once stammered while mentioning her mother's opposition to her plan on her nudity. She even lowered her heads while talking about her father's silence.
On the future plan which will be carried out by her financial gains, her eyes rolled and groped for apt words. She opted to be diplomatic. She would help the needy, including the powerless elderly, the handicapped and incapable household owners in their adolescent years, "to a certain extent."

Catch Me If You Can
She went one step further. The local media report has it that Sowon Hahm, Miss Korea-turned songstress cum television actress, has succeeded in making her promoter buy her suggestion that nude photos pictured of her be released on the Website uncensored. Sowon (age:27; height:172cm; weight:51kg) (pronounced so-won), who has taken extraordinary pride on her pretty face and shapely and gorgeous physique withf sexy appeal, had insisted that her pubic hair must not be censored from her nudity.
Why is she so obsessed with her nudity and frantic about its display? For the memory of her beautiful youth in her later years? Maybe. Out of a philanthropical consideration toward the male populace without resources? Absolutely not. Why? Because her photos won't be downloaded without going through sophisticated procedures of reimbursement.
She might not realize her own mind picture. Or she might want to look away from her shameful mercenary motivation. She might be seized with a desperate notion that her body appeal is the last resort left for her. Her efforts as an entertainer have not been consummated.
She seems to spurt herself and others about her on the road to mercenary gains. To make a big killing, she exerted a precise p.r. job. Prior to the controversial release scheduled for the 27th of November, 2003 (North Eastern Asian Time), she invited some influential reporters and gave them a privileged view of her pictures in advance, referring to them, "Aren't they killing?"
She even went to great lengths to stimulate capable online activists, called computer hackers, with tantalizing utterances, saying, "Catch me if you can." She said she would not be cracked open, armed with air-tight security precautions. "If any of you made it into the site and sent the spoils file to the owner, you would be guaranteed a date with me."

A Hilarious Buzz on the Grapevine
Hilarious talks surrounding Alkaeda terrorist attacks are circulating in Seoul, Korea (the Republic of). The good news is that the Alkaeda won't ever attack Seoul. The bad news is that South Korea has plunged into the lowest priority in the sphere of human interest.
The buzz on the grapevine has been that the Alkaeda made a final decision to leave South Korea out of the would-be hit list. A major reason for the exclusion has not been the target nation's invincibility. The other way around. The most plausible reason for the Korea exclusion has been that its aftermath of the terrorist demolition would be a mere minimality.
The most horrible footage you could envision from the terrorist attack is not expected of the Seoul attack. Take the expected demolition of the National Assembly Building in Seoul, for example. Seoul citizens would not run for cover, nor stampede to and fro, nor scream, nor lament for the devastation nor grieve for the dead 'politicians.' They would rather gloat over the disappearance of the corrupted and ineffective lot. Which would be too disappointing to the Alkaeda gang.

The Republic of Liars
A legendary Korean aphorism has it that "a man must carry two sacks": one for lies and the other for umbrellas for rainy days. In a certain sense, the sack for lies is also for one's "rainy days", too. They tell lies nonetheless.
The Korean people are trained how to tell lies from their early childhood. How inconsiderate of the grownups to field confounding questions (Which do you like better, Dad or Mom?) to their toddlers. They don't realize that they are hurting the young egos and twisting the web of consciousness of the children when they enjoy a giggling party while fielding brutal questions and witnessing perplexed rolling eyes with full of tears. In due course, the toddlers have been so enlightened as to respond to the torturous questions with decent answers (Both!) and very often with enough equivocations. (I can't tell!)
The culture, which has been too lenient to the custom of telling lies and not feeling ashamed for them, has resulted in all the evils going on in the nation. The transgressors cross the gender boundaries and transcend the age limits, ranging from toddlers to elderlies. The commissions subsume all the gamut of falsehoods, equivocations, inventions and fabrications. This country might deserve the designation of 'the Republic of Liars'.
Preliminary school children lie about their homeworks. Husbands lie to their wives about their changing financial status, including incentives and bonuses. Housewives cheat on their spouses about their amorous outings. Shop owners tell falsehoods about the qualities of the goods on display. Merchants are involved, under cover of night or in secret places, in the adulteration of home-made goods with multi-times cheap Chinese made goods, for huge profits. Politicians have never gained any illegal funds from the businessmen. Former President Kim Dae Jung has never reimbursed Kim Jong Il of DPRK for the 'Pyongyang Peace Show' of June 15, 2000, by which he has cheated the Nobel Peace Prize Committee out of the coveted prize.

Take Care of Your Behinds in Seoul
Young women, take care, especially, of your behinds, in Seoul and other big cities of South Korea. Why? Because some young folks of counter sex are after your behinds. What for? To administer a weird form of acupunsture by the designation of ddongchim, loosely translated as "asshole acupuncture."
SPD (the Seoul Police Department) nabbed yesterday (Nov. 18., 2003) a young man of 27 on charges of attacking a young woman by inflicting ddongchim on her. "They disparaged me," he listed one of his reasons for the attack. According to the policeman who had ambushed the suspect for the oft-repeated harassment, the young man, who had long sought the target, approached his prey and, as she bent her upper body to pick her buy at a shop off the street, made a hard push to her private hole with the pronged fingers of his folded palms, making her slump on the ground, screaming all over.

A Bizarre Rush to Nudity
In a bizarre rush to nudity in South Korea, a young odd woman with the entertainment establishment by the name of Sowon Hahm is out in front. She is a former Miss Korea, who has got a shapely physique, somnolent eyes, soft voice and especially the strong inclination to show "everything of her" to the aesthetic brethren. She has made a solemn promise to show her private hair.
Why does she try and make her pubic hair public? Out of her 'philantrophic' consideration to the poor men who have got no resources to get their amorous urges addressed by people of the counter sex? No way. Out of sheer greed to make a big killing with her seductive and enticing nude photos.

The Power of Gushiggi
It's an intriguing aspect of society. Also a marvelous thing to see it working so smoothly. Why? Because a specific community of the nation shares, figuratively speaking, a master key to unlock the conundrum of communication. What a wonder.
They are smiling while talking to each other. The one party nods while he or she is told to do something. They talk in undertones from time to time, but there's no doubt about the meaning conveyed to each other. The major reason that the rapidity and smoothness with which the communication can be conducted is that they have employed a magic code word 'gushiggi'. (pronounced guh-she-ggee)
The word 'gushiggi' has been made popular among the young populace because of a recent-released movie titled "Hwangsan Burl", in which soldiers of Baekje Kingdom were waging a major battle with the soldiers of Shilla Kingdom, employing tour de force of gusshiggi. The field commander of Baekje Kingdom (circa 600 A.D.) orders a relentless defense saying, "Tonight let us do gushiggi!" (meaning: Let's fight to the last man!"
The word 'gushiggi' is a all-round substitution. It is tantamount to the phrase "what you might call" or "what you name it." It makes up for amnesia, that is, your temporary loss of memory. It presupposes the common cultural background. You say, "Go and bring gushiggi with you." In this case, gushiggi refers to some specific noun: a thing, a tool, a specific person. When you say, "It's a little gusshiggi," it is translated to mean, "It's a little awkward or something."

Hatred Flows like a River
Hatred flows like a river. The world is hatred itself. We're swimming in the pool of hatred. We're gasping for breath, for the breath of love, but there's no love in no place else.
The world is replete with hatred. There are hate music, hate movies, hate mail and graffittis filled with hate messages. We're benumbed by merciless kidnappings and chilled by serial killers. The labor union strikers hit the streets fuming hostile slogans. Representatives of the National Assembly thump tables with their greedy fists. We're stunned by wild fires mostly suspected of deliberate arson.
All the gamut of curses are showered on our backs by itinerant stragglers. Shrill cries of husbands and wives yelling at each other pierce the walls. Internet message boards are brimming with epithets and gender slurs. They shift blame to the other party in divorce courts. Swift-swelling rivers are flooding fields and cities. Oh, what a horrible footage. It's been a torture for members of the human civilization to see a sophisticated human invention colliding into the high-rise building, and destroying all the people on board the aircraft. Even the subterranean existence hates the mankind and things, shaking its body all over, trapping, crushing and burying them.

At an Internet Cafe Also at a Media Community Board
Mysterious. How come I happened to be trapped in here? Trapped? Excuse me for the rough term, Mr. Moderator. But I cannot help thinking out another nice substitution for that. I was ambushed and trapped in this cavernous cubicle.
Might be raining outside. Sounds of music too cantankerous. A little difficult to breathe. Cannot find saner people and places. Me included, of course. Hatred everywhere. If I am allowed to sort of define this hefty world, I'd like to put it this way: The world has been hooked up to the networks of hatred.
Some time left for the next movie. Enough minutes to kill. I should have left my place earlier. Always tardy and waste time as a result. A real bad habit. Some minutes later and after I've left this place shall I be able to return to this place again? Probably not. Why? Because I'm so poor at locating places. Bye bye and good luck to every Internet surfer.

The Ball Will Keep Flying
In this age of blood-shot eyes and finger-pointing, it's a rare heart-warming experience to see some sane guys displaying leeway for humor. Myongsuk Cha is one of them. He is not being facetious. He is not being ludicrous, either. He is merely looking at things with kind hearts.
Cha is online famous for his 'bizarre' casting of pro-baseball games. Sitting side by side of a sports moderator of www.imbc.com-ESPN TV, he is making young audiences leap to their feet, stomping, laughing, and applauding. His self-deprecatory remarks about his past achievements as a not-so-remarkable pitcher of a pro-baseball team by the name of LG Twins (38 wins vs. 37 defeats vs 19 saves for the 1991-2001 period) and care-free jokes make the listeners to his program feel at home.
He talks about his past career as if it had been somebody else's. How come star sports players got to take pretty women as wives? He knew there had been such tradition before but he himself cut it off. Would he be safe when he returned home, the curious moderator wanted to know. There was a mutual understanding between his wife and him that she was not a beauty.
"Yes, I've got a lot," Mr. Cha makes an offhanded response to the moderator's somewhat mischievous question. He has had things to reminisce about the All Stars' Match. How come? He had never been selected to be entered in the All Stars and naturally he had taken very amorous vacations with his wife during the sports event.
After a protracted no-gain no-loss confrontation streak, there occurs a time when Ace So and So of a contending team hits a long-awaited homer, putting a finishing blow to the game, amidst the thundering applause of the spectators. The moderator apologetically murmurs to himself. The rest of the folks will never know but the pitcher of the losing team about the misery. Mr. Cha opted to be sympathetic with the losing pitcher. "I also know too well. I have been the very losing pitcher myself many times." Encouraged by his companion's insouciance, the moderator braves another brutally stinging question to Mr. Cha, saying, "What was the longest homer you had ever had?" "It has been the one hit by Mr. Chang Hoon (the Japanese name:Harimoto)," he blurted out blandly. He added not with his tongue in cheek nor with a wry smile on his face an online-famous line: "The ball will still keep flying somewhere in the air."

From a Mere Skeleton of a Figure to a Rosy Feature of Composure
Arron Bates, ages 27, whose kid name had been Jinchul Doe, is now in South Korea, serving the U.S.F.K. (United States Forces Korea). His rank is U.S. Army sergeant. His major purpose and interest is meeting his biological Korean father on a regular basis, who is now doing the prison term as a capital convict.
The local KBS TV-1 aired a very impressive program featuring Arron's tortuous voyage toward the emotional encounter. Arron as a kid had been given up for an orphan after five months into the world and raised at a nursery home since then. He had been adopted at the age of five to an American family. As he grew older, he harbored a keen yearning for his biological parents. He volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army and naturally wound up in the Korean station.
Arron Bates is a handsome young man of stout build who has been well-balanced between his natural instinct of filial attraction toward his Korean parents and profound gratitude toward his legal American parents. He makes a careful conveyance of his Korean father's evident shift of emotions and attitudes. His father, who had been a mere skeleton of a figure, Arron says, has undergone a drastic change into a rosy feature of relative composure.

The Bizzarre Polarization
Local media have made town cries of alert these days. The buzz talks of local city editions are replete with all sorts of carousals of the Upper Class people. The super rich of Kangnam (literally southern area of the Han River), who have amassed huge amount of cash dollars, entirely created by IMF's timid money policy of high interest rate and enlarged by acquiescent Korean banks, have developed innumerable means of enjoying perks of luxury by dissipating the huge inventory of banknotes.
Polarization of society is phenomenal. At the very moment that an uprooted man or a woman, cornered by tenacious loan sharks and resented by hopelessness about the promise of future life, was on their way to high-rise apartment buildings to validify the effectiveness of the Rule of Gravity, a small pool of the super rich were being treated to all the gamut of erotic services from pretty kisaeng girls (keishas)--from TypeA to Type E.
