Hello.
I am Korean, not American. And the third blogger (Oranckay) you linked to only provided news and links in that post, not opinion. May I kindly suggest that you be more careful when citing other blogs?
Sorry, easily corrected. I should have read your post “Why I am a bad Korean” first. I also linked to oranckay solely for his links on the “hero’s welcome” given to Kim. Apologies if that wasn’t clear.
