I have yet to see any report; the images we see were from yahoo.co.uk. In contrast, the bee man has received wide coverage in the Korean media.

I'll probably go to hell for doing so but then again, like I don't believe covering himself in bees is really going to sway things for Korea regarding Dokdto, I don't know if I really believe in a hell either.
