#31 Uh… Pretty much all of WWII happened outside America. Where are you studying history? You may want to get a refund.

zilchy, go right ahead, wear that hanbok. I'd like to see you in that. Not to mention most Americans wouldn't have a clue about world history, including comfort women or Japanese WWII. etc., to carry out what you are suggesting. You guys can't even tell the difference between North and South Korea, let alone be bright enough to grasp what happened in WWII, outside of America.

That's funny.

A symbol in itself is just that – a symbol. Especially if it has multiple meanings, multiple historical contexts, etc. In this case, the symbol combined with the attire is quite clear and in my opinion, this is just not a good idea.

Korea, as a supposed first world nation should be fully aware of the historical meaning behind this "motiff". I can gaurantee contemporary German people would be mighty unhappy at this "fashion statement".

I have a great idea Let's start a chain of Comfort Women theme bars in the U.S. Let's have "caucaziod" women dress up in nice colorful Hanbok, complete with simulated 1/2 Korean, 1/2 Japanese, anti-Minjok pregnancy "motiffs". We could create wood-burning ondols as tables, serve soju etc. Great idea. After all, pregnant women in colorful clothing look so COOL!

Go Korea, FIGHTING!!!

Tom, if you think that Koreans are tired of English speaking people in their country, why do South Korean employers need Native English teachers so badly every year? Why don't the South Koreans even bother to kick out the US soldiers so they can be free of American imperialism? If you think Koreans are so bothered with the so-called English arrogance, perhaps you should support North Korea. Not to mention they even have German cars up there. Yes I agree that the American system is bankrupt, so my advice to you is that if you are tired of the Americans and their English language arrogance, get the US military troops out of Korea. By the way I am Canadian.

Nevertheless, Koreans admire Germany a lot more – unlike the bankrupt America and England where they think they are emperors who deserve to be treated like gods because they speak English.

Tom,

That's because the Germans learned where they stand on the Hierarchy of Superior sometime in the mid 40s.

Also, Germans are a lot of good things… but I'm not sure "cool" is one of them.

Apart from a too-serious-to-be-cool attitudes, fat men in leather shorts listening to oom-pah music and the continued popularity of David Hasselhoff come to mind.
