It's all a waste of money. South Korea's economy clearly doesn't need to rely on foreign tourists.

Perhaps they should hire a Madison Avenue PR firm to come up with their logos. Koreans trying to market themselves is like a lawyer representing himself. Korea Sparkling would never had been picked by an American PR company.. not in a million years. Doing a real ad campaign as opposed to whatever it was that they been doing lately would pay dividends. Perhaps this: "Korea — no, the OTHER one." Tourists will be clogging the streets.. lol

Hell…

…round-eyes have no idea about Asian history… and most of them don't even know there is a difference between Chinese and Japanese.

How about this tactic… nobody will ever know.

Korea: The Grand Capitol of a 5000 Year Pan-Asian Empire

Tourists will eat it up!

…or they could keep the creepy tourists out and concentrate on exporting quality electronics and machinery.

..especially when it's frozen!

I've never seen so much puke and phlegm hacked up on the sidewalk as I have here… Best part is when you see some hottie standing at the subway in her heels, texting away… and then HOCCHHHHH! PtOOEY! That's class, baby!

I rather think "Korea Glistening" would have been a better choice.

/kinda like the way vomit glistens under a street light.

I thought it was a brand of Soju.

Wait… Are they suggesting foreigners come here by accident, looking for a carbonated beverage…?

I think they should drop it but I am not impressed with the primary choice they are pushing to replace it.

"Korea Twinkling" just doesn't sound right either.
