But yes, Koreans are VERY conscious about their country's "brand image". Beware. No, I’m not “doolittle.” But yes, Koreans are VERY conscious about their country’s “brand image”. Beware.

I get asked all the time by people if I came from North or South Korea. I was once even asked which one was the Communist one. Funny thing is, that guy had been stationed in Korea as a GI.

Second, I am not an English teacher. I am not Canadian. I don’t care what happens in Japan.

As you well know, Canada has had serious image problems in Japan that could cost all your Canadians' arms and legs if you're going to fix the problems, and now those serious image problems spread like a wild fire in Korea too. For more information, those existing conditions in Japan and Korea have been caused by Canadian expats, or more appropriately speaking, by Canadian social scums, Canadian illegal-stay foreigners, Canadian drug addicts, Canadian sexists, Canadian racists, Canadian illegal job seekers, could-not-find-jobs-in-canada Canadian idiots or simply English-teaching Canadian outlaw jerks like you.

In your comments relating to Korea's image, you mentioned the opening of the second line of the Daegu subway and the fellow who covered himself with, according to you, 250,000 or 20,000 bees. Now I'm not an expert on Korea, but I have lived here since 1998 and if I had to guess why someone would do such a thing, I would guess it was becaus he was NOT celebrating the opening of the subway, but rather using the opening of the subway to promote his honey shop which is located on line 2. This fellow is rather well-known for covering himself with bees and uses images of the event on billboards and other promotional materials. As such, I am guessing that he used the media coverage of the subway opening to promote his shop; effective marketing if you ask me. If you would like to learn more about this fellow, you can visit his website at: http://www.beeman.co.kr/ I hope this helps you to better understand the country in which you live. Cheers!
