The Foreign Affairs-Trade Ministry plans to express its displeasure to Korean Ambassador to the United States Han Seung-joo for his failure to attend an event hosted by the U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, apparently giving preference to another meeting involving personal relations Han did not go to the meeting held at Rumsfeld's residence in Washington, Sept.10, local time, where high-ranking U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Colin Powell and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, were also present, instead attending a party celebrating the publication of a book by his wife, a professor at the Academy of Korean Studies.
The dinner hosted by Rumsfeld was not for expressing gratitude to the countries that had sent troops to Iraq as initially reported by local media, but was to commemorate the 9/11 terrorist attacks http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200409/kt2004091715211353460.htm

Nine Korean nationals held in human smuggling case Tuesday, September 7, 2004 AP Nine Koreans, ages 18 to 52, have been arrested near this Canadian border town in a crackdown on human smuggling, authorities said. Since late 2002, there have been at least three other apparent human smuggling incidents involving Koreans in the sparsely populated northcentral Washington county. Last fall Byong Suk Kim, 32, was sentenced to one year and 10 months in prison for vehicular homicide the death of Song Hui Yim, 38, one of 11 Koreans in a rented van that overturned near Oroville with Kim at the wheel as he was fleeing from Border Patrol agents. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/aplocal_story.asp?category=6420&slug=WA%20Human%20Smuggling

Because of a 1999 state law pushed by Korean restaurant owners, Soju has a unique exemption among distilled spirits in California, and spots such as Mutt Lynch's are taking full advantage.

日本がよく世界から叩かれる性的外国人労働者は、実は在日が斡旋してると言う事が良く解る記事。 Authorities close in on human-smuggling operation Wednesday, October 06, 2004 http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002055254_smuggling06m.html Federal authorities are closing in on a human-smuggling operation involving South Korean immigrants preying on and profiting from other South Koreans. The smugglers ferry their human cargo from Canada through Washington state to Los Angeles and elsewhere, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle. Recruiters court victims through newspaper ads in South Korea and in the U.S., generally charging from $6,000 to $12,000, promising them better lives Brokers in South Korea, Mexico and Canada then arrange international flights to bring the people over from South Korea, the prosecutors said. Drivers pick up "loads" at the borders and bring them into the country. Other brokers arrange temporary housing, or locate jobs: Men often drive taxis; women work as hostesses in "room salons," that is, bars catering to South Korean businessmen. Being a hostess sometimes means providing sex, according to prosecutors. And since these are money-making operations, loan-shark systems are set up for those who need to pay off their smuggling debts, known as "il sunoh ri" in Korean, the attorneys said. In North Central Washington, human smuggling most often has involved South Koreans. "I've noticed a lot lately," said Frank Rogers, sheriff for sparsely populated Okanogan County. Just last month, nine South Koreans, ages 18 to 52, were detained by Border Patrol agents in Oroville. "It was a terrible year," he said. "They were women, for the most part, destined for the sex trade in Southern California, responding to ads saying they'd get them in the country and get them a job for $10,000."
Korean woman pleads guilty in prostitution ring A federal judge accepted the guilty plea Friday of a Korean national who is accused of managing a brothel hidden in a Lisbon Falls massage parlor. Doo Ri Kim, 39, was arrested in June by police and federal immigration agents investigating complaints of a prostitution ring that employed illegal immigrants. Kim and three other women were found at the Asia Acupressure Therapy Center. According to court records, Kim entered the country illegally in 1998, and lived in Flushing, N.Y.

Oprah Winfrey's Negative Remarks about Korean Women Spark Storm http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410130018.html During a recent episode of her talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Winfrey was discussing women's image and fashion culture around the world when she disparaged Korean women, saying they have "an obsession with plastic surgery." The program dealt with content that suggested Korean women have a unique preference from plastic surgery and an *inferiority complex in which they would like to have Western features. Because of this, the Korean-American community is harshly criticizing the program, and fallout is spreading as some Korean expatriate groups demand a public apology(謝罪するニダ<丶`∀´>!). One Korean student studying in the U.S. said, "The Oprah Winfrey Show is a program with a lot of viewers worldwide, and for it to deal with Korea negatively like this is a big problem.
Korean Pilots Face Crisis over ICAO English Evaluations Many pilots from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are on the verge of being cut out from international routes starting 2008. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, has decided to evaluate the English conversation ability of airline pilots and air traffic controllers from non-English speaking nations in order to reduce the number of accidents, and those who fail to pass those evaluations would be taken off international lines.
Korean pilots and air traffic controllers cannot shake the stigma of having the worst English conversation skills on the international lines. There is talk that the ICAO's primary target was Northeast Asia, and Korea in particular. This is because of Korea's record of accidents resulting from the poor English skills of its pilots.
During the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a Korean Air passenger liner was nearly shot down by U.S. fighter jets that had made a sortie after mistaking the craft for a hijacked jet. It was learned that the pilot's poor English skills played a large part in this incident. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200410/200410150024.html

Korean-American Sentenced As NK Agent A 60 year-old Korean American man named Yai Joung-woong (American name: John) was sentenced Monday to two years in prison at a federal court for working as a secret agent for North Korea. He was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2003.
According to the Associated Press (AP), federal prosecutors alleged that Yai secretly worked for North Korea and sent reports to Pyongyang in January 2003 through coded faxes and e-mails. Yai, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in South Korea, also pleaded guilty to three charges for failing to report to the customs office that he was carrying more than US$10,000 when he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport from a trip to Switzerland in April 2000.

Joji Obara was born in 1952 to an impoverished Korean family in postwar Osaka. His father had been a scrap collector, then a taxi driver who worked his way into owning a fleet of cars and a string of pachinko parlors from which he amassed a fortune. Obara, then known by his Korean name Kim. his mother, who still controlled the lucrative pachinko operations, helped bail her son out, at one point paying off a creditor nearly $33 million in cash. Following these business failings, Obara's company reportedly became a front for the Sumiyoshi yakuza. Copyright c 2004 Time Inc.

金の為には自分の子供を売ったり、売春したり、何でも平気でやる韓国人 November 28, 2004 Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-me-orphan28nov28,1,6479167.story Two men in dark suits waited. One, a chauffeur, pried the boy from her. Mee Yeon gave him the bag. Dong Koo screamed for his mother. He began to weep. He cried until he fell asleep in a limousine taking him to his father's mansion in Seoul. "I felt as if my heart was being ripped apart," Mee Yeon said. Then she went to a lawyer's office and collected a check for $68,000. Dong Koo's father was Won Man Lee, a leading Korean industrialist, adoption records show. He founded Kolon Industries Inc., a nylon manufacturer that grew into a conglomerate with annual sales of more than $1 billion. Won Man Lee met Mee Yeon in 1977, when she was a hostess at a yo-jung, the Korean equivalent of a Japanese geisha house. He was 72 and married. She was 18 — slender with long, dark hair and a childlike vulnerability. She became his mistress. Despite their intimacy, she called him "The Chairman." He provided an apartment for her in an exclusive neighborhood of Seoul. Servants brought whatever she desired. In return, she was expected to wear hanbok, the traditional Korean costume, a bell-shaped dress with petticoats and bloomers. She was also expected to be available to the Chairman at his whim. "I didn't start seeing the Chairman because I loved him," Mee Yeon said. "He was like a father figure to me; he just adored me all the time." The Chairman suffered a stroke in 1985, when the boy was 7. The assistant brought Dong Koo to the offices of Holt Children's Services in Seoul, which started Korean adoptions in the mid-1950s. Dong Koo remembers the assistant handing him a black leather bag and saying goodbye. In her early 30s, Mee Yeon became the mistress of a Korean-Japanese businessman.

The brothel operator buys the value of their smuggling debt, and will require the women to either pay it off, work it off, or a combination of both. Recruiters-> Brothel Operator In Flushings, NY, an area in Queens with a large Korean community, recruiters will go to legitimate Korean massage establishments for women, and may say that the women can make much more money at another job doing the same thing. The recruiter will arrange for the transportation of the women to a Korean massage parlor in another state. When the women arrives, she discovers from the brothel operator that she must pay back the value of the transportation, the lodging and food, and will only receive tips, forcing her to provide sex to customers to make enough money to pay off the debt. An alternate arrangement may involve a recent Korean immigrant arriving in New York or L.A., with thousands of dollars of debt to pay off. A Korean taxi service driver will advise her that the fastest way to pay off the debt is to work at a massage parlor. For a fee, he brings her to a massage parlor, where the woman is pressured strongly to provide commercial sex to the customers or risk being fired

中韓のパクリ盗人商法が、米国で年間75万職を失う原因になっている。 本当、何所までも腐った連中だな Intellectual property theft costs 750,000 American jobs a year, according to the chamber. Chinese companies are responsible for 70 percent of intellectual property theft, and they are the target for new moves combatting the flood of fakes American businesses, losing a massive US$250 billion a year to copyright piracy, are taking the fight against counterfeit goods in Asia to the sources of production, with China at the frontline of the onslaught. The problem, he said, had become so serious that in China one may not be able to differentiate between a car produced by the world's biggest automaker General Motors and a fake. "And that is that some folks in China were building cars for General Motors who then found out that four towns away, they were building the very same car with the same brochures, and who could tell the difference?" This year, while expanding lobbying and education in China and Brazil, the chamber will launch education and enforcement programs in South Korea, India and Russia. In South Korea, Washington is seriously concerned that modern copyright protection is lacking in important areas, the report said. Key among these is Seoul's failure to adequately update laws to protect sound recordings against digital piracy. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/worldbiz/archives/2005/01/10/2003218841 http://www.reuters.com/financeNewsArticle.jhtml?type=businessNews&storyID=7274372 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000080&sid=a8uWgUsTXURQ&refer=asia http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6805603/

http://hcs.harvard.edu/~yisei/issues/spring_99/feature1.html Earlier this year, poet Amy Uyematsu gave a reading of some of her work as part of the Asian American Studies "This Shame Called Joy." The poem explores the poet’s emotions about the killing of Latasha Harlins, a fifteen-year old Black girl, by Soon Ja Du, a Korean American store owner, over a carton of orange juice in a Los Angeles store: "This lust I cultivate for the ordinary,/the juice of an orange tasting more exquisite/than I ever remember,/cannot be separated from the brutal/death of a child who only wanted/ to drink from the same fruit. " Soon Ja Du claimed that she had shot Latasha Harlins in self-defense after the girl had attacked her, but the store videotape showed that she had shot Latasha in the back of the head as the girl walked away from their brief altercation over some orange juice. The entire incident outraged the Black community in Los Angeles and helped to pave the way for the Los Angeles rebellion of 1992, or what Korean Americans call Sa-I-Gu. After Uyematsu read the poem, it became clear that certain students, in particular, Korean American students, objected to it.
The VND5.5 billion ($350,000) products had arrived at Hai Phong Port from the Republic of Korea in September without an owner.

★A Korean counterfeiter based near Tokyo says he sold 100,000 super copies in Japan alone last year. ★At the same time, working with overseas Koreans in Los Angeles, he has now started shipping his forgeries to the U.S. http://www.asiapacificms.com/articles/korea_counterfeits/ S. Ted Kwon, a patent and trademark expert and partner at Seoul law firm Kim, Shin & Yu, reckons-conservatively-that South Korea's counterfeiters produce at least 1 million copies a year. South Korea's counterfeiters are busily exporting their wares worldwide. Korean-made copies account for the largest number of counterfeits seized in Japan, while in the U.S. they consistently place in the top three. According to a survey of 500 Japanese schoolteachers by the government-funded Consumer Education Help Centre, 20% had bought counterfeits. Of those, 63% bought them because they were cheap, 36% for fun and-significantly-25% because they were of high quality. a South Korean journalist (who asked not to be named) suspects they might be, at least in Korea. "Every woman in Korea owns at least one counterfeit bag, even my mother," says the journalist, who happily carries a fake Gucci bag to interviews with politicians, police officers and officials. "You can tell women on the subway are carrying fake bags because any Korean who can afford genuine European luxury goods doesn't take the subway," the journalist adds. "She drives or is driven." If she's right, then almost one in two women on some subway lines in central Seoul is carrying a counterfeit. ★"We tried it for the first time with a Kelly bag in Japan about a year ago," says the Korean counterfeiter who runs seven factories. "We thought it looked great so we put it on sale in a discount store ★we work with for about \500,000 ($3,900). We weren't sure what would happen but it sold literally in a day, so ever since we've been selling most of our Kelly bags as originals."

日本人を装うのは止めろよ糞チョン! SEATTLE, Washington, Nov 13 (AFP) - A US restaurant that boasts a house special of sushi served on a naked woman has sparked furious protests by Asian women's groups, but eager diners are jostling for seats. The unconventional diner boasts a sushi buffet eaten off the torsos of young female models who recline on a tall table surrounded by sprinkled rose petals, votive candles, and pots of wasabi, shoyu and pickled ginger. But while the novel serving suggestion from Bonzai Asian Pub and Bistro in the northwestern US city of Seattle appears to have pleased male gourmets, it has incensed women's groups.
Saturday night at Bonzai in Pioneer Square, a nearly naked woman is laid out on a table. A chef slices sushi behind her, to be arrayed on her torso, bare except for a sheath of plastic wrap and some decorative flower petals. Hours earlier, across town on the campus of the University of Washington, eight activists, mostly Asian-American women, express outrage at what they call the prostitution of sushi and the exploitation of women. Bonzai chef and owner Jun Hong, a Korean-American, who also owns Wasabi Bistro in Belltown Naked sushi carries no connotation of exploitation in its native Japan, said Bonzai regular Danielle Kim(金) of Newcastle. http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=sushi11m&date=20031111

Korean mothers who gave birth in U.S. held LOS ANGELES ― In an apparent crackdown, U.S. authorities have arrested 10 Korean mothers who traveled to the United States to give birth so that their babies would be eligible for American citizenship. The women were held on visa violations, charged with having come to the country for reasons other than stated on their entry permits. U.S. immigration authorities also detained a Korean broker operating here and charged the person, who was not immediately identified, with arranging the trips for the mothers-to-be. The Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency under the Department of Homeland Security, and other bureaus including the Internal Revenue Service are focusing on businesses in the Korean section of Los Angeles set up to serve pregnant travelers, U.S. officials said. Korean women, who give birth while on a tourist visa, can exempt their sons from the draft in Korea and gain access to U.S. public education. The practice by Koreans has been ongoing for years, but now the U.S. government is making an effort to stem it. According to the U.S. officials, the immigration authorities detained the 10 Korean women on Sept. 10 for questioning. The women reportedly all visited the same State Department field office on the Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles to apply for U.S. passports for their newborns. They had given birth at a local clinic run by Koreans, officials said. As thousands of pregnant Korean women sought to go to the United States to give birth, an industry specializing in helping them was spawned in Los Angeles. No official statistics are available, but industry insiders estimated that about 5,000 births by Korean visitors occurred last year, and another 8,000 as of August this year. A two-month trip costs roughly $20,000. http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200309/20/200309200222462009900090409041.html
There has been growing concern over controversial ``birth tours,’’ on which pregnant women travel overseas to give birth to have their babies attain foreign citizenship Six Korean mothers, who just gave birth to their children in California, United States, were detained for questioning by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service last Friday on suspicion of illegal immigration. The number of Korean mothers who take the distressful and expensive tours foreign countries to deliver their babies is expected to increase to more than 7,000 this year an increase of more than 100 percent from 3,000 in 2001, according to an official at a company which specializes in arranging trips for such mothers. Previously, such birth tours were prevalent only among the people with high income, such as doctors and lawyers, or those who are privileged enough to, in bids to provide their children with U.S. citizenship. But now it has become so popular that anyone with enough money is willing to make the trip,’’ Kim Sung-hoon, a representative at a travel agency specializing in birth tours, told The Korea Times. A birth tour to the U.S. costs about $30,000 on average, according to Kim. if my child has U.S. citizenship, for example, he can study anywhere in the U.S. and at only about 30 percent of what other Korean parents pay for their children’s tuition,’’ Lee said. She made a trip to the U.S. in 1999 to give birth to her second son. http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/nation/200309/kt2003092216365110510.htm

The warning comes from a 3,000-page report released Monday and prepared by Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who has led the international body's anti-poverty efforts. Sachs was appointed by UN General Secretary Kofi Annan to head the anti-poverty Millennium Project and come up with an action plan to meet the UN’s “millennium development goals” by 2015. The report, titled “Investing in Development", classified North Korea, Myanmar, Zimbabwe and Belarus as badly led, poverty-stricken states widely condemned for human rights abuses, and advised they should not receive large amounts of international aid.

Many innocent people including women, children and the elderly were killed without regard, and the massacres have left deep scars on the memories of the survivors. For this reason we request an official apology from those responsible in the military for ordering the operations and compensation to the innocent victims of the massacres.

Hundreds more civilians -- up to 1,600 total -- had been killed in raids by South Koreans in the preceding month, other villagers said. "Most of the victims had their hands tied behind their backs with electrical wire," said Cham, now 67. "There was a woman still holding her granddaughter, a long knife through both of them."

Los Angeles Times February 10, 2004 Japan has long been North Korea's shopping mall of choice when it comes to military components. It has the advantages of proximity, advanced technology and a large population of ethnic Koreans, many with family ties to the North or to the pro-Pyongyang General Assn. of Korean Residents in Japan.
There is nothing that will draw Koreans together faster than the belief that outside forces are threatening. The belief that Americans (foreigners) are a bigger "threat" to South Korea's security than their nuke-wielding brethren in the North exemplifies a renewed Korea-centered philosophy that's apparent throughout government and, by extension, the economy.
In the most homogenous country in the world, where "our" is used in the naming of everything from banks to political parties, to be Korean, even of the Northern variety, is perhaps less threatening in the South than the prospect of foreigners having an enduring stake and voice in the country. Capital and investment are always welcome in South Korea, but input into how these assets may best be used is increasingly unwelcome.
International Herald Tribune Jan 18, 2005 http://www.iht.com/getina/files/219027.html Thirty-year-old documents related to the normalization of relations between Korea and Japan after World War II show that the administration of then-President Park Chung Hee took a lump sum payment of $800 million for atrocities committed by the Japanese and then withheld compensation from all but a few individual victims and their families.
In 1965, in exchange for the money in grants and low-interest loans, the South Korean government agreed not to press Japan for further compensation.
With proof that most of the money was used for the development of the country's economy, lawsuits are now expected from individual families against the government. The documents show the lump sum came in the form of $300 million in grants, and $500 million in low interest and commercial loans, which were mainly used to build highways across the country, establish public companies such as Pohang Iron & Steel and build up the country's agriculture and fishing industries. Between 1975 and 1977, the South Korean government paid out just 2.56 billion won (or $5.3 million at the time) to the families of 8,552 victims. ↑で、それ以外全く払う必要は無いに、更に小渕が謝って金払ってたよな。

Philippines received the biggest amount in free loans, $550 million, followed by Korea with $300 million, Indonesia with $223.08 million, Myanmar with $200 million and Vietnam with $39 million. When the credit loan from the Japanese government and commercial loans by the private sector are counted, Korea and Philippines were the biggest recipients with $800 million each. Both countries invested the money mainly to improve social infrastructure and the public living standard. However, Korea exceeded Philippines in terms of return of investment, according to the report. South Korea spent most of the money establishing social infrastructures, founding POSCO, building Kyungbu Highway and the Soyang River Dam. The report said, “South Korea efficiently spent the reparation with specific plans.

North Korean Ties Complicate Japan's Efforts to Clean Up Banks The Wall St. Journal http://www2.gol.com/users/coynerhm/north_korean_ties_complicate_japan_banks.htm TOKYO -- To the U.S., North Korea is a member of the "axis of evil," but to Tokyo, Pyongyang is also part of Japan's huge banking mess. Japan is under pressure from Washington to get tough with North Korea, including choking off the flow of funds that ethnic Koreans in Japan send to the North. The funds to North Korea come from Japan's chogin credit unions, chogin literally means Korean bank -- which mainly serve the large community of ethnic Koreans in Japan who are loyal to the North. But many Japanese legislators, among others, allege the chogin have funneled billions of dollars to the secretive communist government in the North. But there are diplomatic costs to consider. Leaning on the chogin could fuel criticism that Tokyo is discriminating against Korean residents, an especially touchy subject. Much of that chogin money have been used by the North Korean government to buy weapons, while the populace has been suffering from malnutrition and even starvation for the past several years. U.S. and Japanese experts on North Korea estimate that anywhere from less than a $100 million to more than $1 billion flows from Japan to North Korea every year. In addition to legal remittances by ethnic Koreans, some of the money is undeclared taxable income.
An increasing number of Korean mothers make their children study English in the US during the summer vacation, lying to officials that they are going to emigrate there. They don't pay any tax, nor did their ancestors fight in the War of Independence, but enjoy the benefits of a free education and then return to Korea leaving baffled teachers behind. There are also a large group of mothers who send their children to the US for a long time to study English for free. This gives me huge concerns on the future of America's public education system.
I was embarrassed when I heard one such mother staying in the US tell her children not to play with black or Latino children.
It was an extreme irony for an illegal Korean immigrant to show prejudice to bona fide Americans.
The report said at least 350,000 Koreans are living illegally in foreign countries The most illegal emigrants — nearly 183,000 — were in the United States, followed by Canada with some 100,000. There are about 46,500 illegal emigrants in Japan and 10, 000 in the Philippines, the report said.

Today, Kobe is still home to many foreigners,But few Westerners are moving in, and many long-term residents are leaving for Tokyo At the same time, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Chinese and Korean residents, especially in private international schools, which were once the domain of Westerners. According to local foreign residents, the trend, which began in the 1980s, accelerated after the quake. As of last October, there were 44,449 registered foreigners living in Kobe. These included 23,755 Koreans, 12,203 Chinese, 1,109 Vietnamese and 1,067 Indians. By contrast, there were 1,245 Americans, 463 Britons and 245 Canadians. One area where we've noticed a real difference is in the international schools, where over the past few years there have been fewer Western children and more from East Asia, especially (South) Korea," said George Gibbons, a Kobe resident from Britain who recently retired as an official at Marist Brothers International School. "Kobe and Hyogo Prefecture made huge mistakes in the months after the earthquake by ignoring the advice and offers of assistance of the Western community on how to rebuild in ways that would both keep foreigners who were already here and attract foreign investment," said a Tokyo-based Western diplomat who used to live in Kobe. 在日の陰謀→"Decisions on how to build an 'international city' were made by bureaucrats John Lawrence, a former American resident of Kobe who moved to Yokohama after the quake, echoed the complaints of many Westerners

Foreign affairs officials issued this warning to Filipino women amid persistent reports that some of those who had entered into such arrangements with Korean members of the Unification Church, known as Moonies, ended up working in nightclubs. THE PHILIPPINE Ambassador to the Republic of Korea is warning Filipino women against entering the country through arranged marriages The women, enticed into marrying Koreans with promises of a comfortable life, end up working in nightclubs and bars in the country's red light districts under "miserable conditions," he said. "Filipino women should be extra wary of, if not totally avoid, applying for arranged marriages to Koreans. Recently, agents of the National Bureau of Investigation rounded up six Korean men allegedly running an illegal mail-order bride business in Parañaque City using a recruitment agency as a front. http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?index=2&story_id=25267 http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/SITE/data/html_dir/2005/01/22/200501220030.asp http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?index=1&story_id=25202 http://www.thesun.co.uk/popupWindow/0,,2004191649,00.html

The scion of a wealthy family, he entered the country's property speculation boom just as it turned to bust, yet never allowed failure to crimp a lifestyle that included trolling Tokyo's nightclubs to hire women for companionship. Tokyo police and prosecutors allege that he also is a serial rapist and killer. On Feb. 1, in what is the latest in a long line of snail-paced trials in Japan, Obara will be back in court to defend himself over the July 2000 disappearance, rape, death and dismemberment of Lucie Blackman. The 21-year-old British woman was a nightclub hostess last seen at Obara's beachfront home on the day she died. 関連情報 米タイム誌:パチンコで冨を築き、六本木で豪遊していた在日の織原城二と報道 http://www.time.com/time/asia/news/magazine/0,9754,108848,00.html 織原城二(金聖鐘)諸チョン顔画像 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/12/03/wlucie03.xml&sSheet=/portal/2004/12/03/ixportal.html
http://www.koreaherald.co.kr/SITE/data/html_dir/2005/01/24/200501240009.asp The U.S. Embassy has warned of "potential threats" against Americans in the vicinity of a college area in western Seoul The warning was issued amid growing resentment from Koreans regarding demeaning comments made by foreigners about Korean women on an English-language Web site "English Spectrum." The site was designed to provide information for foreigners living in Korea. "We have noted recently a strong reaction in the form of web postings threatening attacks in the vicinity of Hongik University and the Sinchon area against Americans and other foreigners who speak English," said an embassy internal message. The embassy advised U.S. citizens to be aware that their public behavior might be interpreted as provocative by Koreans. The warning came days after Koreans became aware of the "Ask the Playboy" forum which had comments referring to Korea's "easy women." The site also included topics like "how to sleep with Korean women."
the hot issue among local Netizens was a post by an English teacher in Korea who wrote that local women treated him like a king and were easy to sleep with. When the photos were discovered, it was like pouring oil on an open fire. In mid-December, photos from the party were posted on English Spectrum, a website frequented by foreign English teachers working in Korea. They had been taken by some of the foreigners who attended the party and depicted Korean women and Western men dancing together in a suggestive way, Korean women revealing their breasts or underwear, as well as Western men and Korean women touching genetals and kissing. The photos escaped public scrutiny until 10 days ago, when they sparked an outcry at the height of the cyberspace hysteria about "foreign teachers degrading Korean women." Online rage switched targets from foreign men to the Korean women in the photos. Some online media described the pictures as "scenes of women openly enjoying sex with foreigners." These stories were often accompanied by malicious comments like, "Whores, are Western bastards that good?" and, "The English you learn from selling yourself is body language, not real English." Even more frightening was that calls for the women's names, work places, email addresses and phone numbers to be made public were promptly answered. http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200501/200501240027.html http://blog.marmot.cc/http://blog.marmot.cc/archives/category/stupid-foreigner-tricks/archives/2005/01/12/korean-netizens-blast-foreign-english-teacher-site/

15 Illegal S. Korean Immigrants Arrested Mon, Jan. 24, 2005 AP ALBUQUERQUE, N.M Fifteen illegal immigrants from South Korea and the man accused of trying to smuggle them across the United States were arrested on a New York-bound Amtrak train in Albuquerque, federal officials said Monday. The men and the alleged smuggler, 27-year-old Pyung Seop Lee, were arrested Thursday at the city's train station, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Lee also is believed to be in the country illegally, officials said. The group, all men ranging from 23 to 35 years old, had Republic of Korea passports that lacked the proper U.S. visa or admission stamps, according to the agency. authorities were tipped off about the group by Drug Enforcement Administration investigators who noted the foreign nationals' reservations on the Amtrak train's travel manifest. When agents intercepted the train bound for New York, Lee told them the group was part of a tour. He said he was traveling with the group until they reached Chicago but was not part of the tour. The agents then found the mens' train tickets, passports and $4,000 cash in Lee's luggage, according to the complaint. Two of the illegal immigrants, Dae Seong Jeon and Jeong Geon Park, told investigators they flew from Korea Dec. 21 to Canada. After spending a week in a Vancouver motel, they said they joined six other Koreans and were driven across the U.S.-Canada border to Los Angeles. After about a month stashed in a Los Angeles house, they said Lee came to the house and instructed the group to meet him at an Amtrak train station, where they boarded the train. http://www.abqjournal.com/news/metro/apimmig01-24-05.htm http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-koreans-arrested,0,6810573.story?coll=sns-ap-nation-headlines http://www.kplctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=2851694

Woman advocates for Korean animals http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/state/10179568.htm?1c Kyenan Kum has spent the past 15 years working to keep dogs in her native South Korea from being tortured and turned into soup. Kum's efforts could help save an estimated 2 million dogs and cats each year that are maimed, beaten, whipped, electrocuted, torched, caged and cramped all the result of mythical beliefs that torturing animals produces enzymes that provide health benefits.
Kum saw relatives beaten by their husbands. She saw uneducated women. She wanted no part of that. "Women were second-class citizens," she said, recalling a time 30 years ago. "I didn't know why I had to wash my brother's socks. I had my own socks to wash. I didn't want to be mistreated. I had to get out of that country." She escaped the first chance she got, marrying an American in 1970 and moving to Wisconsin. They soon divorced, and in 1978, Kum found her way to the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, the city where she has lived ever since. there is still an underground industry of animal vendors who boil cats to make anti-arthritis potions, she said. And the estimated 5,000 dog soup restaurants in Korea are proof to Kum that the government doesn't take animal abuse seriously.

Forger created fake wives to obtain visas to the U.S. November 23, 2004 ㅡ Police said yesterday they have seized evidence indicating that as many as 250 single Korean women have illegally entered the United States by representing themselves as the wives of well-to-do employees at some of Korea's major corporations. Records confiscated from "visa brokers" in Seoul turned up documents that showed hundreds of U.S. visa applications had been forged. In general, the U.S. Consulate in Seoul refuses to issue visas to young, unmarried women who do not have strong family ties in Korea or who cannot demonstrate that they have significant financial resources. According to the police, Mr. Yang worked with two accomplices, only identified as Mr. Kim and Sally. Beginning in January 2001, the three suspects in the case placed advertisements in Korean-language newspapers in Los Angeles and on Internet sites, claiming that young women could earn high incomes working as barmaids and cosmetologists. The brokers charged the women up to 8 million won ($7,500). Police estimated their total earnings at about 2 billion won. The seized records showed that 320 customers had sought the brokers' help, with 250 having already left the country. An officer working on the case said, "For those applicants rejected by the United States, the brokers arranged trips to Canada and then smuggled them into the United States." http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200411/22/200411222207040909900090409041.html

Scams/Abuse/Deaths - US Department of State - Crackdown Targets Immigration Fraud By Akilah Johnson, Los Angeles Times, August 29, 2003 Authorities in California are cracking down on scam immigration "experts" who promise to help illegal immigrants legalize their status but just steal their money instead. State Attorney General Bill Lockyer set up the Office of Immigrant Assistance two years ago and so far has filed charges against 14 unlawful immigration businesses. Legitimate immigration consultants are required to be licensed by the state and post a $50,000 bond. There are about 700 bona fide immigration consultants in California. Immigrants make up 25 percent of California's population and are attractive targets to criminals. In January this year, Lockyer intervened on behalf of some 300 Korean immigrants in the San Francisco Bay area who were facing deportation. They had paid up to $30,000 each to unscrupulous Korean immigration "advisers" who gave them illegal green cards. Johnson writes: "According to the Federal Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, fraud cases of all types have jumped 27 percent nationwide this year." http://usinfo.state.gov/eap/east_asia_pacific/chinese_human_smuggling/smuggling_in_the_press/scams_abuse_deaths.html

馬鹿南朝鮮人、北チョンは人権虐待も無いし、核の危険も無いニダ、ウリナラは同じ朝鮮人同士ニダ! 敵は日本とアメリカニダ! http://www.keralanext.com/news/indexread.asp?id=99441 January 27, 2005 [US News]: WASHINGTON, The younger generation of South Koreans and their elected government do not share U.S. concerns about threats from North Korea, posing a challenge for Seoul and Washington, analysts said on Wednesday. Seoul's center-left government, a formal security ally of Washington since 1953, draws its support from South Koreans too young to remember U.S. backing in the Korean War or decades of belligerence from the Communist North, they said. While older South Koreans are wary of North Korea and supportive of the United States, the young display "nationalist sentiment and a tolerant attitude toward North Korea," said Lee Nae-young, politics professor at Korea University. Many South Koreans born after 1960 "fail to distinguish between the North Korean people and the Kim Jong-il regime, downplay human rights and are ignorant of the security threats posed by North Korea," Lee told an Asia Society seminar. "What we see as anti-Americanism does reflect differences over North Korea," said Thomas Hubbard, who retired in August after three years as U.S. ambassador in Seoul and was deeply involved in nuclear negotiations with the North in the 1990s. While trying to work closely with Washington, Seoul policymakers are trying to keep alive a North-South detente that has shattered Cold War certainties and allowed many South Koreans to visit the North in recent years, he said. The October enactment of the U.S. North Korea Human Rights Act -- unanimously passed by the American Congress, but criticized in Pyongyang and Seoul -- has made the rights issue a potential new irritant, Hubbard said.
http://www.cnn.com/US/9707/11/briefs.pm/kim.sentencing/ Former Navy analyst gets prison term for spying ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (CNN) -- Former U.S. Navy intelligence analyst Robert Kim was sentenced Friday to nine years in prison for giving classified documents to a South Korean military official in 1996.

Finally, mention must be made of the dreaded 'Ajuma' or middle aged married woman. It is a strange fact of life here that, upon reaching the age of thirty or thereabouts, most Korean women metamorphose into a completely different life form. They cut short and perm their long straight hair, wear less attractive clothing and their voices become less melodic. Not that Korean voices are particularly melodic to start with. What's far worse is that mentally they change from simpering seductive sirens to self-centred bull dozers. When in a group they all talk loudly and at the same time, it is unlikely that any are listening to what the others are saying. A gaggle of ajumas could be compared with a World War 1 squadron of cruisers or battle ships. They press on regardless with scant regard for anything or anyone in their way. Many a westerner has felt threatened by this plague on civilized society
After a hard day attempting to educate young Koreans most foreign teachers, myself included, are exhausted. All we want to do is relax and unwind. Consequently, it can be very annoying when a Korean adult wanting to practice his or her English, sits down next to you and starts a conversation. Such behaviour shows a serious lack of consideration for the other person. http://wagin.yourguide.com.au/detail.asp?class=news&subclass=local&category=general%20news&story_id=336267&y=2004&m=9

Memo shows fraudulent use of 10,500 military ID cards in South Korea Stars and Stripes Sunday, January 30, 2005 CAMP RED CLOUD, South Korea — More than 10,500 U.S. military identification cards have been fraudulently used by South Korean cell-phone dealers, according to a confidential Department of the Army memo The CCU reported to the Camp Casey-based 19th Military Police Battalion (CID), 6th Military Police Group, that South Korean national cellular phone dealers near U.S. Army installations routinely copied U.S. soldiers’ IDs when they purchased a cell phone. “Investigation by the CCU revealed the phone dealers were selling the identities of the soldiers to unscrupulous individuals who in turn initiated cell phone accounts with the soldiers’ identities,” the memo states. “This was done in an effort by these individuals to disguise their true identities from law enforcement.” “For the past two years CCU identified approximately 10,500 ID cards, all belonging to U.S. soldiers throughout South Korea that were fraudulently used by the phone dealers, of which about 85 percent of the 10,500 victims (8,400) were identified as soldiers in Area I,” the memo continued. http://www.estripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=26866

South Korea's Defense Ministry said Friday it will stop calling North Korea its "main enemy" South Korea began calling North Korea a "main enemy" 10 years ago, after North Korea threatened to turn Seoul into a "sea of fire" in a dispute over the North's nuclear weapons program.
Critics, however, have condemned South Korea's changing attitude as coddling the Pyongyang regime, which is suspected of building nuclear weapons in defiance of international pressure while suppressing human rights of its hunger-stricken people.

In 1965, in exchange for the money in grants and low-interest loans, the South Korean government agreed not to press Japan for further compensation.
With proof that most of the money was used for the development of the country's economy, lawsuits are now expected from individual families against the government. The documents show the lump sum came in the form of $300 million in grants, and $500 million in low interest and commercial loans, which were mainly used to build highways across the country, establish public companies such as Pohang Iron & Steel and build up the country's agriculture and fishing industries. Between 1975 and 1977, the South Korean government paid out just 2.56 billion won (or $5.3 million at the time) to the families of 8,552 victims. ↑で、それ以外全く払う必要は無いに、更に小渕が謝って金払ってたよな。

Jong Suk Kim, 52, Jin Ho Huh, 48, both of Seoul, and Hyuk Soo Kwon, 46, of Lee Dong, were arrested on Monday night with a fourth individual, who was not identified by Border Patrol agents. After serving their sentences, they are expected to be deported, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The four were spotted crossing the border about 8:30 p.m. Monday by agents conducting nighttime patrol flights near Houlton using infrared instruments to monitor the border. Agents spotted them walking into Maine about 1/10 of a mile from the Houlton border crossing, according to court documents. They hid in the brush next to a business called Dance and Eat. About 9:10 p.m. Monday, one of the four walked back into Canada, then drove a pickup truck to the area where the others were hiding and picked them up. Kim, Huh and Kwon told authorities that they left Korea on or about Jan. 20 and arrived in Toronto the same day.
After arriving, Kim found an ad in a newspaper for a contact person offering to smuggle people into the United States. According to court documents, they paid $4,000 each to a man who allegedly arranged transportation to Woodstock, New Brunswick.

Most Korean prisoners will request transfer because the treaty contains measures that make it easier for the transferred inmates to receive parole or reduction of terms, according to Korean American pastor Soo Min Lee, who has been advocating for prison transfer for nine years. "Because of their small physique, they easily become targets of sexual assaults, or errand boys for others' drug trafficking," he said. "When they do not yield, they are beaten to death, literally beaten to death," he said. Aside from conflicts with other inmates, Lee said, "Koreans, many of whom are recent immigrants, have difficulty communicating in English. They also sorely miss eating steamed rice and kimchi." Problems with non-Asian inmates are so prevalent that families of Korean prisoners in Men's Central Jail of Los Angeles County Jail took action last year. They protested the recent room assignments in which Koreans were mixed with non-Asian inmates, saying that the Koreans were susceptible to victimization by non-Asians who are physically stronger and belong to powerful cliques. The protesters demanded separate room assignments, citing an incident in which an Asian was assaulted by a group of African Americans because he was thought to be Korean. But their demand has not been met, said Lee.

Hold N. Korea accountable on nukes U.S., other world powers should speak with one voice in challenging the Pyongyang regime BY RALPH A. COSSA Ralph J.

As a result of Seoul's "Sunshine Policy" of economic engagement, North Korea has become increasingly dependent on the South economically; its (increasingly tentative) political acceptability internationally also has its roots in Seoul's continued encouragement to others to engage the North. ★★One wonders if ROK President Roh Moo-hyun is prepared to use this leverage or if it is Seoul, not Pyongyang, that has been bluffing. If Roh is serious about not tolerating a nuclear North Korea, he should - at minimum - announce that South Korea is "suspending participation" in all economic cooperation and assistance programs until Pyongyang has provided a satisfactory explanation of its declared nuclear capabilities and intentions. North Korea has effectively played a divide-and-conquer game throughout the nuclear standoff. If it receives conflicting signals from Washington, Seoul, Beijing, Tokyo and Moscow in response to this latest provocation, it will be encouraged to continue this tactic. The time has come for the other five finally to begin speaking with one voice, to hold Pyongyang accountable for its own words and actions.

Washington's tactics are contained in a classified "tool kit" of techniques to pressure North Korea that has been refined in recent weeks by the US National Security Council.
The new strategies are aimed at intensifying efforts to track and freeze financial transactions that officials say enable the Government of Kim Jong-il to profit from counterfeiting, drug trafficking and the sale of missile and other weapons technology. In interviews over the past three weeks, Administration officials denied the effort was part of an unstated initiative to topple Mr Kim.

Mercedes-Benz cars sold as new were found to have been stolen in Japan and brought into the country by a local luxury car importer. There had been rumors among some local car importers that stolen vehicles from abroad were easily available in Korea. The Korea Customs Service and a vehicle registration office in Japan confirmed yesterday that an importer in Gangnam imported three stolen vehicles from Japan, a Mercedes-Benz S600, an S55 AMG and an S500, which currently sell here for about 200 million won ($193,000) each. The cars' odometers had been tampered with. The importer said it had no idea the cars had been registered as stolen in Japan. "But we purchased them at a low price from a Japanese loan shark." Police said they weren't so sure of the importer's innocence. The case came to light when the importer asked for duplicate keys from Germany's DaimlerChrysler, the parent company of Mercedes.

イラクやアフガニスタンよりも危険なのが韓国、米国国防省&国務省警告発信!!!!! Tough Korea Curfew for U.S. Civilian Contractors Monday, 14 February 2005 A new U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) rule requires all U.S. military members, government workers and private contractors — and their families — to be at home, at work or at an on-base activity between midnight and 5 a.m. daily. No other overseas military post, including those in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, has a curfew policy that puts civilian workers under the same restrictions as military members, according to Department of Defense spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Greg Hicks, reports Stars and Stripes. USFK commander Gen. Leon J. LaPorte amended the ongoing curfew for servicemembers in September in response to a State Department warning that cautioned all U.S. citizens in Koreaa about potential protests and violence against Americans, USFK officials have said. “We are different than any other place in the world,” said Lt. Col. Chad McRee, chief of operations for the Provost Marshal’s Office with the 94th Military Police Battalion in Seoul. http://www.usabroad.org/2005/02/us_civilian_dod.html

A group of members of the Shimane Prefectural Assembly submitted a bill earlier in the day for establishing a prefectural ordinance to designate Feb. 22 as ``Takeshima Day’’ to raise public awareness of Tokto in Japan. ``The South Korean government expresses strong regret over the ordinance, which is a clear infringement of the sovereignty of Tokto islets,’’ Lee Kyu-hyung, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said in a statement. 馬鹿チョソ談↓ ``In all aspects of history, geography and international laws, it is clear that Tokto is South Korean territory,’’ Lee said. ``This kind of reckless act by a local municipality in Japan runs squarely counter to the sincere efforts by our government and people to strengthen understanding and friendship with Japan.’’
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200502/23/200502232213055209900090409041.html From interviews with prostitutes, police said the crackdown last year forced the brothel owners and prostitutes to move to places such as Japan, Saipan, Australia and Canada. Many of the prostitutes said their moves were aided by organized criminal rings. Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said yesterday seven people were arrested on charges of arranging travel and employment for 38 prostitutes in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. In return for arranging such overseas trips and jobs, the seven people took 120 million won ($119,500) from the prostitutes, the police said. According to the police, one of the prostitutes who had been working in Australia said brothel owners exploited her throughout her stay. In October, the 28-year-old prostitute left Korea, hoping she could earn enough money to pay her 70 million won debt to the brother owner in Seoul. She said the debt grew because of slow business after the crackdown last September. She told the police that she was forced to sign a contract. She reportedly had to serve five customers a day, but ended up earning only 200,000 won ($195) at the end of a month. While she was working in Australia, her debt in Korea snowballed because of a 60 percent annual interest rate. According to the police, landing prostitution work in Japan costs 10 million won and 12 million won in Saipan. Some prostitutes are also working in Europe and Russia, police said. Police said brothel owners seize the prostitutes' passports, effectively barring their escape. The prostitutes mostly work in brothels and bars owned by Koreans, the police said.
The Koreans like to pretend to be Japanese, so that is another aspect that sets the Korean massage parlor apart from Chinese or American massage parlors.

The Koreans, though, are a completely different matter. Even if you are a Korean planning to get married in Korea, your family register will be checked and if there's any evidence of undesirability (e.g. mental instability, criminals, sexual deviancy, living in a different town, not being called Kim, Park or Lee, etc.) then you're out of contention. Parental approval is a serious issue. A few days later, my gal and I were walking up a hill opposite the Hilton Hotel when a 50-something woman popped out of her cubbyhole and started screaming some thing at my girlfriend in Korean. ``What's she saying?'' I asked. ``Prostitute! Prostitute! Prostitute!'' my girlfriend replied without emotion. It was a relief to find out that my girlfriend's sister, who lives in Shinjuku, was normal. But . . . On one of my girlfriend's first visits to Tokyo after our relationship had started, we were invited to dinner at her Shinjuku sister's apartment. Also invited were Megumi, the girl who introduced us, and her boyfriend, Paul. But there was a proviso. ``Don't mention our relationship to my sister's husband,'' my girlfriend implored. ``You're just a friend -- of Megumi's.''

In the early nineties she was moved to the US legally through a sham marriage with an American GI and has served ever since as a Korean massage parlor prostitute in various locales stretching from Chicago and Houston to New York City1. →Mu Yung Shin is just one of several thousand Korean women abducted, raped, and virtually enslaved by the multimillion-dollar international prostitution network run by the Korean Killers, or KK. Korean Killers, and other major Korean gangs in the US such as Korean Power, based in New York, deal not only in prostitution, but in drug trafficking, extortion, and firebombings, mostly directed against the Korean community. Take Tae Sook Lee (not his real name), a longtime member of the Korean Killers based in Los Angeles' Koreatown. With two accomplices, called his "enforcers," Tae would visit Korean businesses in the area, mostly car dealerships, and demand payments of money ranging from $30,000 to $50,000. If threats and intimidation failed to net him the money, arson would result. According to Ray Futami, a detective with the LAPD, "If they [Korean business owners] didn't pay, Tae would send in his boys, his enforcers, and they would burn cars and dealerships." つづく↓ http://home.uchicago.edu/~dae/korean_pride.htm

South Korean nabbed in illegal banking 2005-02-25 http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-02/25/content_419210.htm A South Korean is in police custody as a suspect in the first-ever, foreigner-run underground forex den unearthed by Chinese police, a Ministry of Public Security official said yesterday. Kim Cheon-Jae, 45, is being detained for running an underground bank in Qingdao, Shandong Province, that allegedly transferred around 240 million yuan (US$29 million) worth of money in and out of China illegally every year since 2001, according to Zhang Jing, deputy director of the ministry's Economic Crime Bureau. The police captured Kim and 17 others involved in the case on the spot, and seized 1.35 million yuan (US$163,000) worth of cash, in addition to some deposit certificates and bank cards, Zhang said. Kim's allegedly underground forex service was found to have reached several other cities in Shandong, as well as Shanghai and the northeastern province of Jilin,
and his business mainly catered to South Korean companies and personnel in those places. "Moreover, it in many cases facilitates criminal activities such as smuggling, drug trafficking and graft," he added. In particular, underground banks are found "tightly connected" with money laundering, he added.
朝鮮半島バイオテロキタ━━━━━━(゚∀゚)━━━━━━ !!!!! 1933 Human Flu in Korean Swine Raise Bioterror Issues, Recombinomics February 24, 2005 http://www.recombinomics.com/News/02240502/Swine_Bioterror.html Lab-made virus from 1940 may have found its way into Korean pigs. Genes from a flu strain created in a lab in 1940 have been found in samples taken from pigs in South Korea, a US biologist claims. In December, the biologist Henry Niman of Recombinomics, a biotechnology company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, examined the data as part of an analysis of flu sequences. He concluded that the samples contained genes from a strain of human flu virus that was created decades ago by scientists experimenting with the virus that caused the global flu pandemic of 1918. The incident raises worrying questions about how the human flu genes got into a virus in a pig, says Niman. It could have happened naturally or in a lab accident — but it could also have resulted from experiments to produce a more deadly flu. "It could be bioterrorism," he says. the route of the sequences from lab to swine remains open, as does the possibility of bioterrorism. The inability to resolve the existence of the sequence after being in the public domain for almost 3 months also raises serious bioterrorism preparedness issues.

Korean, Asiana Rank Low in 30-Year Airline Safety Survey Feb.25,2005 http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200502/200502250029.html Local carriers Korean Air and Asiana Airlines ranked a poor 43rd and 32nd in terms of airline safety by the German flight magazine Aero International (AI). AI reached its results based on International Civil Aviation Organization statistics such as numbers of accidents, fatalities, flights and passengers. The No. 1 airline was Australia's famously safe Qantas, while Turkish Airlines finished last. Finland's Finnair, Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific and Japan's ANA followed Qantas on AI's list. Virgin Atlantic and Southwest Airlines of the U.S. and British Airways rounded out the top 10. Turkish Airlines sat alongside Egypt Air, Air India and Taiwan's China Airlines at the bottom of the rankings.
http://www.iaae.org/publications/pdf/iaae_2001_08.pdf FAA downgrades Korean Air safety rating The FAA placed the restrictions--including a ban on expanding U.S. service--on South Korean airlines. The FAA said only that Category 2 ratings are given to countries in which civil aviation authorities lack the regulations, qualified personnel, technical expertise, resources or documentation to meet international standards. South Korean civil aviation authorities had failed to provide the oversight needed to meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
Korean Pilots Face Crisis over ICAO English Evaluations
Many pilots from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are on the verge of being cut out from international routes starting 2008. This is because the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, has decided to evaluate the English conversation ability of airline pilots and air traffic controllers from non-English speaking nations in order to reduce the number of accidents, and those who fail to pass those evaluations would be taken off international lines.
Korean pilots and air traffic controllers cannot shake the stigma of having the worst English conversation skills on the international lines. There is talk that the ICAO's primary target was Northeast Asia, and Korea in particular. This is because of Korea's record of accidents resulting from the poor English skills of its pilots.
During the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, a Korean Air passenger liner was nearly shot down by U.S. fighter jets that had made a sortie after mistaking the craft for a hijacked jet. It was learned that the pilot's poor English skills played a large part in this incident.
Korean Air jet may have narrowly missed disaster Pilots on Korean Air Flight 85 mistakenly issued a hijack alert at 1:24 p.m. ET as they neared Alaska on the way to Anchorage. Military officials, who had ordered two F-15 fighters to tail the jet, told Anchorage air traffic controllers that they would shoot it down if it did not turn away from populated areas, several sources told USA TODAY. During the next 90 minutes, officials on the ground launched evacuations in Anchorage, at the Trans Alaska Pipeline and in Whitehorse, the capitol of Canada's Yukon Territory. Scanning every communication it transmitted that day, it found something suspicious sent by the Korean jet. The Seoul-to-New York flight was headed for a refueling stop in Anchorage. In a message sent at 11:08 a.m. ET to Korean Air's base, the pilots included the letters "HJK" — a code for hijacked. Instead of reassuring controllers, the Korean pilots declared themselves hijacked at 1:24 p.m. They set their transponder, which transmits information about the flight to radars, to the four-digit universal code for hijacked — 7500. Suddenly, more than an hour after the skies emptied over the lower 48 states, a routine flight became a potential new attacker. With two F-15s tracking Flight 85, NORAD officers told officials at the Anchorage center that they would shoot down the airliner if it continued, the sources said. Air traffic officials ordered the jet to turn wide of Alaska's largest city. Canadian air traffic officials agreed to let the jet land there, but its approach set off a new wave of evacuations.
Nowadays many supermarkets and departments stores in Bangkok overflow with "Japanese food" such as sushi and green tea, in funny Japanese brand names. You may be surprised to know that they are not made by Japanese people. Actually, they are produced by Koreans or Taiwanese in Thailand. The Japanese traditionally shy away from large establishments. Rather, they prefer cosy, quiet bistros or restaurants. And they adopt city names, personal nicknames, etc, as brand names. I am not saying that the current abundance of "Japanese food" supported by large advertisements on TV and radios, is of substandard or inferior quality. I am writing only to let innocent Thai consumers know of the true identity of these products. KATSUMI SAITO

Now, efforts to stop violence against women have become mainstreamed into the full range of UN agencies that address health, human rights, and refugee protection. These agencies include the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the UN Population Fund, and the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). Over 100 studies have examined the extent of DV in developed countries such as the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia. These studies have reached a consistent conclusion: men and women are equally likely to engage in partner aggression
But what about partner aggression in non-Western societies, many of which are less developed economically?

March 7 Bloomberg News The World Trade Organization ruled that South Korean shipbuilders illegally benefit from export credits, following a complaint by the European Union, which wants to limit subsidies that have boosted Korea's market share. Korean yards such as Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Samsung Heavy Industries Co. and Samho Heavy Industries Co. are able to sell ships at less than the cost of production because subsidies offset losses, according to the commission, the EU's executive. The credits helped Korea's share of world shipbuilding grow to 35 percent last year from 28 percent in 1999 and pushed the EU into filing a complaint at the Geneva-based WTO in October 2002, according to the European Commission. The EU's market share was 15 percent in 2004.
Broker Daniel Lee spent two years behind bars for his part in a scheme that paid a San Jose immigration supervisor $500,000 in bribes to authorize green cards for South Korean immigrants throughout California. Jung Hwan Kim, the New Jersey accountant is among 275 Korean immigrants singled out for deportation. In the scam, which dates to the early '90s, brokers Daniel Lee and John Choe collected as much as $30,000 in each case to "expedite" processing of green card documentation. Federal officials point out that because an average green card application costs less than $700, the fees charged by the brokers should have suggested that their activities were illegal. Virginia Kice, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said that under the scheme, applicants got visas for specialized professions in which they were not skilled. In one case, she said, a truck driver with a high school diploma received a visa for a research professor. "Clearly, that was a stretch at best," she said. "Many of these people came in for interviews supposedly petitioned by an employer, and literally none knew who that employer was. This clearly was a fraud scheme." "People need to understand that a visa scheme is a very serious matter that undermines the system and presents a very serious security threat. We have to send the message that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated."

"We assumed they had already been condemned to death and were mostly political prisoners," says Ann. "Even with a knife they were up against the impossible. We had gone through harsh training. In most cases the killing was done inside one or two minutes."
Ann, who also speaks Japanese, now divides his time between his home in Seoul and a second home in Tokyo. He says he also lectures and writes and acts as a consultant on North Korea, mainly in Japan. "Defectors here are astonished to find that South Koreans are now trying to be friends with the communist North and are actually propping the regime up," he said. Some 6,000 North Koreans defectors live in South Korea, among them a small number of party, government and military officials as well as spies, many South Koreans tend to look down on them as backward and idle.
Japan does have integration problems when it comes to allowing largescale immigration. Relative honesty and the lack of precautions against violent or calculated crime make Japan a paradise for the criminally-minded gangs, including Chinese (mainly Overseas Chinese) and Korean gangs with international linkages.
子供を何百回も鞭で打つのは子供の虐待では無く、韓国の伝統文化ニダ! カナダで子供の虐待で逮捕された朝鮮人被告と朝鮮人団体がが裁判で釈明。 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20050311.wxcaning0312/BNStory/Front/ The father of the 16-year-old North Vancouver high-school student waited for his son to respond before delivering each blow with the cane. “I'm remorseful and I'm ready,” the boy said over and over again. For at least three hours on Jan. 19, the father, who cannot be identified under a court order, caned his son with hundreds of blows. During the police interview, the teen told officers he was hit 300 times and feared he had another 200 strikes “owing,” because he had misbehaved for five days and his father had threatened 100 strikes for each occasion of misbehaviour. In an earlier caning on Jan. 7, the teenager said he was hit about 100 times. The father returned to Canada and caned the teenager again on Jan. 19. School officials called in a social worker from the Ministry of Children and Family Development who contacted police to investigate when the youth's injuries became evident the next day. Police described the youth as shuffling, slumped over and walking like an old man. The father pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm. During his sentencing hearing, he said caning was “traditional Korean culture” The father did not know that what he was doing was illegal, because caning is a traditional form of punishment in South Korea. discipline, said Sally Kim, a spokeswoman with the Korean Society in Burnaby. “It was something that happened in the family and inside the home,” Ms. Kim said."

Third Korean student attacked in Vancouver CTV News http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20020721/korean_student_attacked_020720 For the third time in just two months, a Korean exchange student has been attacked in Vancouver. This comes after a local Korean organization received a letter filled with hate, threats of murder and kidnapping. Compounding fears in the community, The Korean Society of B.C. recently received a hate letter. In it, the author threatens to kill a Korean each week and use Korean women as sex slaves.

MS Accused of Discriminating Against Korean Customers Microsoft, the U.S.-headquartered software giant, is accused of discriminating against Korean customers in operating its Hotmail e-mail service. Microsoft Korea yesterday conceded that Korean subscribers are not eligible to extend their storage capacity in Hotmail. The policy has been applied to nine countries, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Canada and Australia, but Korea was excluded from the list.
I was a mechanic at a Hyundai dealer from 93-95 and at a Kia dealer from 99-01 (they were both secondary car lines) and believe me when I tell you the Korean cars are pieces of @#$% you would not believe the problems we encountered like for example in the early 90's Hyundai had a run of Elantra engines in which the timing belts were glued together with glue that was water soluable (sp). One car we put 2 engines and rebuilt the transmission 4 times in less than 30K miles (and not due to mechanic error). In the 2000's we had Kias commong from the factory with the bodies assembled with no seam sealer in the rear half of thre car. These are just some of the things I encountered, I know every car line has it's quirks but I've worked at a Nissan dealer for the last 9 years and have never encountered the same lack of quality. One thing I will give to Kia and Hyundai is that their factory support for their dealers is outstanding. That's enough of me ranting, I would never buy a korean car. http://63.99.108.76/ubb/Forum8/HTML/011042.html
Korea Shuts Down Pro-Japanese Online Communities 03-17-2005 http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/biz/200503/kt2005031715272111860.htm The Korean government and telecom industry have begun to counter Japan’s recent claim to Tokto, Korea’s easternmost islets. The state-backed Information Communication Ethics Committee (ICEC) Thursday said the panel ordered the portal site, Daum, to shut down overly pro-Japanese online communities. "We made the decision because the communities distorted the history, thus doing mental harm to our youth. We will continue to keep a watchful eye on such problematic online activities,"said Han Myeong-ho, who leads the committee's supervisory team. In compliance with the order, Daum closed five communities, which claimed Japan’s sovereignty over Tokto, and plans to continue shutting down other similar Web sites.
http://www.boston.com/news/world/asia/articles/2005/03/18/s_korea_japan_islets_dispute_escalates/ The Japanese embassy in central Seoul has become a venue for daily demonstrations. On Friday, a man poured paint thinner on himself and jumped into a fire where protesters were burning Japanese flags and boxes symbolizing Japanese goods, police said. He was hospitalized but his life was not in danger, police said.
Earlier this week, two protesters cut off their own fingers.
"Various groups are holding protest rallies around the Japanese Embassy, and they are expected to continue for a while," said the Japanese travel warning, posted on the Foreign Ministry's Web site. "Please do not go near the venue of demonstrations so as not to get involved in unnecessary troubles."

Ms. Rice's action was a departure from diplomatic protocol on several levels. It is highly unusual for a secretary of state's first destination in a country to be a military site instead of a diplomatic event, especially an American installation instead of a South Korean one. While her first move on Korean soil was aimed directly at North Korea, the major push of her visit is to persuade China to "squeeze the North," as one aide said. On Friday, Ms. Rice said, "Well, I assume that because China says it wants a nonnuclear Korean peninsula" that "they are trying to be effective in their diplomacy." But she added that she would urge the Chinese to do more "when I get to Beijing." In her Tokyo speech, which aides described as a major policy address, Ms. Rice pushed China to change its form of government, saying, "Even China must eventually embrace some form of open, genuinely representative government." While in Beijing, her aides said, she intends to attend Palm Sunday services at a Protestant church - a potentially provocative act in a nation without freedom of religion. The last session of the regional talks with North Korea was last summer, and the United States is not considered likely to wait past this summer before considering other options, like going to the United Nations Security Council for a resolution. 動画 http://video.msn.com/video/p.htm?t=1&p=Source_Nightly%20News&i=867a288e-7a75-421f-a42a-1091b0dd499b&rf=

http://businessweek.com/magazine/content/05_06/b3919001_mz001.htm In Guam, the Secret Service in July uncovered a network selling bogus North Korean-made pharmaceuticals, cigarettes, and $100 bills. In January, U.S. Commerce Secretary Donald Evans blasted the Chinese on a visit to Beijing, demanding they step up efforts to police intellectual-property violations. Evans singled out the case of a General Motors Corp. (GM ) subsidiary that is suing Chinese carmaker Chery Automotive for ripping off the design of its Chevrolet Spark minicar. The uncanny resemblance between the two cars, said Evans, "defies innocent explanation." The World Health Organization says up to 10% of medicines worldwide are counterfeited -- a deadly hazard that could be costing the pharmaceutical industry $46 billion a year. Honda's (HMC ) workhorse CG125 -- selling for about $300, or less than half the cost of a real Honda -- especially popular. Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator Co. discovered a counterfeit elevator after a building owner asked the company for a maintenance contract. "It didn't look like our product," says Wang Chung Heng, a lawyer for Shanghai Mitsubishi. "And it stopped between floors." Kyocera Corp. (KYO ), had to recall a million cell-phone batteries that turned out to be counterfeit, costing the company at least $5 million. Cigarette maker JT International has boosted its anti-counterfeiting budget from $200,000 to $15 million in the past six years, spending the money on a network of investigators, lawyers, and informants in factories suspected of making fakes. More alarming, say police, is counterfeiting's connection to the underworld. "Organized crime thrives on counterfeiting," says Ronald K. Noble, Secretary General of Interpol. So does terrorism. One cigarette executive estimates North Korea earns $100 million per year in fees from pirates producing there.

Korean government has expressed that it will be difficult for us to support the Japanese government in its bid for entering into the U.N.

The Korean people are wondering why this remark has been made at such a situation. Is this done intentionally, or does Secretary Rice need a deeper understanding of the relations between ROK and Japan?
ライス長官: Well, first of all, the United States first made known publicly that we intended to support Japan for a permanent seat in the Security Council last August. It was made public by Secretary Powell. And we have also said that we support Security Council reform in the context of broader United Nations reform. And we are at the beginning of that process, not at the end of it.

Young Pil "Ricky" Choi masterminded the operation, and often found work for the immigrants as prostitutes in Southern California bars and massage parlors, federal prosecutors said. He helped arrange their travel to and accommodations in Canada or Mexico, supervised their travel across the border on foot, and paid the drivers who brought them to Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, the Koreans met with two of Choi's alleged cohorts, Kong Sun Hernandez and Tae Hyu Shin, who face trial next month. Choi, a South Korean who came to the United States at age 12, charged as much as $20,000, prosecutors said.

http://www.asianpacificpost.com/news/article/353.html Mar 22, 2005 Canadian English teachers are among the main targets after a TV show painted a picture of foreigners in South Korea as an assortment of high-school dropouts, losers, drug peddlers and pedophiles. A homegrown campaign urging foreigners to leave South Korea has prompted warnings for western visitors to stay away from certain parts of Seoul. The Seoul Times reported that demonstrations against foreigners are planned and an online petition to keep foreigners out of South Korea has already received thousands of signatures.
*The US embassy, the paper said, has warned American citizens to stay away from certain parts of Seoul.
*The Canadian Embassy in Seoul on its website said that it is concerned at the rate of sexual assault against foreigners. "The use of public transport after dark may be safer than using taxis when travelling alone," it states.
The Yonhap News Agency said that TV station SBS recently aired a program painting a picture of foreign teachers in South Korea as an assortment of high-school dropouts, losers, drug peddlers and pedophiles. The BBC car show Top Gear received criticism from Korean manufacturing groups after lampooning Korean cars as “fridge like“ in their design. The popular US TV show Lost was also heavily criticized after it was accused of perpetrating negative stereotypes of Korean men. Even Oprah Winfrey couldn‘t escape criticism after she accused Korean women of being obsessed with plastic surgery.
Scott Thompson and Jason Beaton, who have been teaching English outside Seoul, were arrested March 11. men were leaving a bar early that morning when they were attacked by several Korean men. When police arrived, they arrested the two Canadians and charged them with assault.

In a system where draft-dodgers are punished by criminal law, those who can avoid it are condemned and envied at the same time. In recent years, the trend of traveling great distances, often to unfamiliar lands, has caught on like wildfire among Korea's pregnant moms. So much so that Koreans even coined the phrase "wonjeong chulsan," or "childbirth expedition." while opening up a vast new market where skyrocketing demands of education-zealous parents are being met by heated competition among travel agencies specializing "birth-tour packages" to western countries that offer citizenship to any child born on their soil. The United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are among the most favored countries by pregnant women who believe that acquiring citizenship there for their child will guarantee entry into a prestigious university, exemption from military service, and a shot at a better life. There are no official statistics on how many Korean babies are born overseas on a "childbirth expedition." But rough estimates by industry insiders over the past few years show their numbers are on a steady climb by the thousands. According to a leading travel agency, some 3,000 maternity trips were estimated in 2001, 5,000 in 2002, 7,000 in 2003, and peaked to nearly 10,000 last year.

About 575,000 Japanese prisoners of war were sent to the Siberian camps after the war ended in August 1945. 473,000 of them later returned home, and about 55,000 died in Russia, according to the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. It is unknown what happened to the remaining 47,000 people and Japanese authorities have repeatedly said that they might have been sent to North Korea or the Manchurian region of China. The list of 27,000 people handed over by the Russian State Military Archive is the first official document that underscores the sending of detainees to North Korea after the war. The embassy believes that those people were mostly sick, because the employees of the archive said that only those who were not regarded as forced labor were sent there.

Virtual Possibilities: China and the Internet: The Genie Is Out of the Chinese Bottle (The Asian Wall Street Journal) April 01, 2005 Much of the anti-Japanese sentiment in China is a product of Communist education that relied on stirring up anti-Japanese sentiment as a way to legitimize the party’s rule. But now the rage has taken on a life of its own. In a further twist, public resentment now even threatens to be aimed at the government — for not being tough enough on the Japanese. This, of course, would be completely missing the point. If Beijing does aspire to finally soothe the public’s anti-Japanese antagonism, then it will require more proactive measures to both educate the people as well as create good will between the two neighbors. Tokyo’s “ignore it and it will go away” attitude toward China’s anti-Japanese sentiment has only exacerbated the problem.
But it bears repeating that Japan’s excesses took place 60 years ago, and since then Japan has been a model citizen to its neighbors and its people. Would that the same could be said for some other Asian nations.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, April 6, 2005 · http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/aplocal_story.asp?category=6420&slug=ID%20Human%20Smuggling Idaho -- Two men have been charged in U.S. District Court with knowingly transporting illegal aliens over the Canadian border last weekend, the second time in four months authorities have had a case of alleged human smuggling of Koreans in Idaho's Panhandle. Sang Yoon Kim of Vancouver, British Columbia, and fellow defendant Bum Suk Kim of Korea were arrested early Sunday and were being held in the Shoshone County Jail, along with the 13 Korean women they allegedly smuggled across the border last weekend. At their first court appearance Tuesday, the two men waived their right to a preliminary hearing. Each faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine if found guilty. The charges come less than a week after the Idaho Legislature decided to form an interim committee to study the problem of human trafficking in Idaho. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy Cook said her office is concerned that the Korean woman may have been destined to become prostitutes in California In December, Cook said she had a case that involved two men, one a Korean national and the other a Korean Canadian, who brought in six women over the border. Cook recently reached a plea agreement in that case, but the defendants have yet to be sentenced. On Tuesday, the 13 Korean women - from the baby-faced to middle-aged - filed into the courtroom cuffed together, and all but one wore the green smocks of the Shoshone County Jail. The one who was dressed in street clothes walked with a limp from a recent injury. They were being held in jail because the U.S. government considers them a flight risk, U.S. District Court Judge Larry M. Boyle told them through an interpreter.

An arrest warrant was issued via Interpol in 2001.
http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/news/11357213.htm COURT: Pair to plead guilty to aiding illegal aliens Sun, Apr. 10, 2005 Husband, wife expected to get prison sentence and fine FARGO - A Korean woman accused of helping illegal aliens across the U.S.-Canadian border into North Dakota and her husband have agreed to plead guilty, according to assistant U.S. attorney Nick Chase. The woman, Zenma Suh Yi, 34, and husband Ki Yong Yi, a Cary, N.C., restaurateur, allegedly were going to employ the aliens. They were expected to enter their pleas Friday in Fargo District Court but Judge Ralph Erickson postponed the hearing after Zenma said she didn't have confidence in her English comprehension. The aliens they brought into the United States - Zenma's sister Ki Ja Lee, 45, and the sister's husband, Chang Kyung Cheon, 42 - have been deported, as was Jong Seo Lee, 42, a restaurant employee and illegal alien who aided Zenma. She was to plead guilty of aiding and abetting illegal entry into the country, a Class B misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of six months in prison and $5,000 fine. Her husband was to plead guilty to conspiring to bring illegal aliens, a Class C felony with a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine. Authorities say Zenma picked up her passengers in Toronto and drove to Walhalla, N.D., to make the illegal crossing. She was arrested June 13 after driving through the port of entry there while it was closed. Her illegal alien passengers had more than $17,000 in cash.
http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/p980145.html Examining Anger in 'Culture-Bound' Syndromes by Sandra L. Somers Psychiatric Times "Hwa-byung" and "ataque de nervios," listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) as culture-bound syndromes, can serve as gateways to understanding anger's role in psychiatric morbidity, according to a panel of experts.
Christopher K. Chung, M.D., assistant professor and director of psychiatric emergency services at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, Calif., who chaired a symposium on hwa-byung and anger syndromes at the American Psychiatric Association last year, described the *Korean phenomenon of hwa-byung (literally, fire disease) as "more specifically, suppressed anger syndrome." He said there was not a consensus as to whether the syndrome should be classified as culture-bound.
The Korean Perspective Hwa-byung is more frequently found in less-educated people, those of lower socioeconomic status and those from rural areas. Once provoked, they tend to talk long and in detail Min described a study in which he sought to identify the psychological and somatic symptoms related to hwa-byung and to correlate those symptoms with haan, which refers to suppressed anger, hate, despair, the holding of a grudge or feelings of "everlasting woe"; as well as to disorders of anxiety, depression and obsession-compulsion.
Two men convicted of smuggling illegal aliens April 12, 2005, 10:44 AM EDT SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Two New York City men face up to 10 years in federal prison after being convicted of smuggling eight South Korean women into the United States.
Jin Kyoo Park, 57, of Jackson Heights, and Myung Woo Jun, 54, of Bayside, will be sentenced Aug. 16 in Albany by U.S. District Judge Norman Mordue, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Grogan. The two men were each convicted of six felony counts of alien smuggling following a week-long trial in Syracuse. They also could be fined up to $250,000. According to prosecutors, Park and Jun drove in separate cars to a remote spot along the Canadian border on April 10 last year and picked up eight South Korean women, who were waiting for them alongside a dirt road just inside the United States. The women had been driven from a safe house in Toronto to the crossing point where they were guided across the border by two unknown men, Grogan said. Authorities arrested Park and Jun when they were stopped on Interstate 87 at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint near North Hudson.
S.Korean, Texas Oil Man Charged in UN Scandal Thu Apr 14, 2005 http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=8185151 NEW YORK (Reuters) - South Korean Tongsun Park and a Texas oil businessman have been charged in two separate federal cases involving bribes and kickbacks in the scandal-plagued U.N. oil-for-food program, federal authorities said on Thursday. Park, who was at the center of the Koreagate influence-peddling scandal in Washington in the 1970s, was charged by the U.S. attorney in New York with being an unregistered agent for Iraq. The criminal complaint said he received at least $2 million from Iraq for lobbying U.N. officials to set up the oil-for-food program, with an understanding that some of the money would be used to "take care" of a U.N. official. Authorities would not identify the official or say whether he still worked at the United Nations. Park is thought to be in South Korea.

嫌われてるのはユダヤ人とチャンコロとチョン http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/state/20050414-2319-ca-hatemail.html April 14, 2005 LOS ANGELES – Dozens of Jewish residents, businesses and synagogues have received hate-filled letters in recent weeks, leading to investigations by local and federal officials. Some of the large manila envelopes had "Die Jews Die!" scrawled on them and other vituperative language filled the papers inside the envelopes. Some of the letters also targeted Asians, Muslims and gays.
South Korean corporation will plead guilty to pollution crimes Friday, April 15, 2005 http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/aplocal_story.asp?category=6420&slug=AK%20Illegal%20Dumping ANCHORAGE, Alaska A South Korean corporation has agreed to plead guilty to discharging oil sludge from a cargo freighter and then falsifying records to cover up the crime. Boyang Ltd. - already on probation for similar activities spanning seven years - reached a plea agreement with federal prosecutors in which it will admit to more illegal dumping and agreed to pay a $1 million fine, the U.S. attorney's office said Friday. The M/V Baron repeatedly discharged oil sludge and oil-contaminated bilge waste directly into the ocean between November 2003 and July 2004, according to prosecutors. The Baron is a Panamanian-flagged freight ship that transports fish from Alaska to markets in Japan and China. Prosecutors have said a vessel of this type could dump up to 1,000 gallons of oil sludge in one ocean crossing. They are not sure where the dumping occurred. If Boyang commits any further violation of state or federal law, its ships will be banned from entering U.S. ports for a period of five years, prosecutors said. Last July, the Coast Guard boarded the ship to execute a search warrant and discovered oil residue in piping. Lee also admitted making false entries in the Baron's oil record books to conceal the illegal dumping. Boyang was on probation for similar crimes occurring in its 12-ship fleet between 1995 and 2002 when the new allegations arose. In 2002, Boyang Maritime Inc., Boyang's predecessor, pleaded guilty to 10 felony charges, including conspiracy and obstruction of justice and witness tampering. The company was part of a group of four freight companies fined $5 million.
韓国が北朝鮮の人権虐待を批判する国連議決を3年連続で意図的に棄権 Seoul 15 April 2005 Human rights activists are sharply criticizing South Korea's decision to abstain from a United Nations vote on North Korean human rights. The U.N. vote sheds light on a key philosophical divide in South Korea about dealing with the North.
South Korea has abstained for the third year in a row from voting on a United Nations resolution criticizing North Korea on its human rights performance. Officials in Seoul say the government declined to vote because of the special nature of the North-South relationship, and wants to avoid provoking authorities in Pyongyang.
The resolution, put forward by the European Union, expresses "deep concern" about reports of "grave and widespread" abuses in North Korea, including torture, imprisonment without trial, human trafficking, and forced abortions. It passed Thursday by 30 votes to nine in Geneva.
S. Korea Rejects Response With U.S. to N. Korea Collapse April 15, 2005 By Barbara Demick, Times Staff Writer
SEOUL, South Korea — U.S. troops stationed in South Korea were forced earlier this year to scrap a contingency plan for the possible collapse of Kim Jong Il's regime in North Korea because of objections by Seoul, the South Korean government said Friday.
Seoul's rejection of the classified plan, which was supposed to be developed jointly by the U.S. and South Korean militaries, is the latest sign of tension in the alliance.
韓国人すし屋ネタです。 Where do you hide your Japanese people?
According to the demographic census presented to us before we set off to find where Japanese New Yorkers live , the most populated "Japanese" area on the list was Clinton, the Theatre District. Once we stepped out of the subway on 42nd Street our eagerness turned into confusion. Nothing seemed to be self-evidently Japanese. We walked North, South, East, and West for a good two hours finding absolutely nothing useful to us. We did not see anyone who looked Japanese either. The one sushi bar that we saw wasn't even Japanese, it was run by Koreans
Koreatown Revival Eludes Poor April 24, 2005 Not long after Chang Park's arrival from South Korea four years ago, the reality of his predicament became painfully clear: Life in the United States was going to be harder than expected. Merchants who moved in after South L.A. riots prosper, but employees struggle, activists Koreatown's residents and workers are still suffering, and are poorer than ever, according to community leaders, academicians and civil activists. "While the business sector of the community has been progressing, the residents and workers are living in poverty," said Danny Park, executive director of the Korean Immigrant Workers Advocates, a workers support group. The largely immigrant population is mainly employed in unskilled nonunion jobs, with virtually no benefits, in the service sector, retail trade and restaurant industry, the report concluded. It also found that 70% of the population in Koreatown, where a typical family of four makes less than $36,800 a year, could be classified as working poor. The area's median household income is $20,000, compared with the national average of $42,000. Families are surviving on 83% of the income they had in 1990. And the average hourly pay in Korean supermarkets, the neighborhood's largest employers, is around $7. "Jobs in Koreatown do not pay enough wages and benefits to avoid the cycle of poverty," said professor Edward J. Park, director of Asian American Studies at Loyola Marymount University, who collaborated on the Korean Immigrant Workers Advocates report Skyrocketing home prices, which have caused overcrowding and public health concerns, add to the potent ingredients for social discontent, experts on urban social trends observed. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/los_angeles_metro/la-me-riots24apr24,1,5416856.story?coll=la-commun-los_angeles_metro&ctrack=1&cset=true
糞在日終ったなwwwwwww WASHINGTON, April 24 The Bush administration, facing a series of recent provocations from North Korea, is debating a plan to seek a United Nations resolution empowering all nations to intercept shipments in or out of the country that may contain nuclear materials or components, say senior administration officials and diplomats who have been briefed on the proposal.
It would enable the United States and other nations to intercept shipments in international waters off the Korean Peninsula and to force down aircraft for inspection.
犯罪者顔のチョソ写真が笑える Fugitive Money Manager Is Arrested in Arizona April 26, 2005 http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ponzi26apr26,0,294305.story?coll=la-home-headlines Fugitive Los Angeles money manager Won Charlie Yi, accused of bilking millions of dollars from fellow Korean Americans, was in federal custody Monday after his car was stopped for speeding on an Arizona highway, authorities said. The car "was going 113 miles an hour in a 75 zone outside of Yuma," said Assistant U.S. Atty. James Aquilina, citing a report from Arizona authorities. →"He apparently had a .45 [caliber handgun], 300 rounds of ammunition and two manuals on how to make homemade silencers." Court filings accused Yi last year of fraudulently raising at least $36 million from investors, mainly garment manufacturers and other small-business owners in Southern California, through his C+ Capital Management company in downtown Los Angeles. Yi is believed to have arrived in Los Angeles early this month, where he called a former associate at C+ Capital and persuaded him to drive the two of them to an Arizona gun show in the borrowed BMW. They were stopped while returning from that show, he added. Before his disappearance, investors said that Yi had appeared to be living a classic American success story, driving luxury cars, including a bulletproofed BMW, chartering jets for gambling sprees in Las Vegas and hiring major investors' children to work at C+ Capital, headquartered in 14,000 square feet on the 36th floor of Sanwa Bank Plaza.
