[@claudineijesus5933]

Thank you very much for explain for this..

[@urihmiss]

I think there are lots of masterpiece of Korean literature that are rarely known to the world. And I think we really have to make an effort to let the world know there are great writers in Korea. We haven't yet had single person who won Nobel Prize in literature.

[@bloomintokyoseoul]

I wonder if Suki Kim or any westerners have any idea what the North Korean people went through during the Korean War- [Korea Truth Commission Report for June 23, 2001 , War Crimes Tribunal 29 Report of the Committee of the Women's International Democratic Federation in Korea, 1951 Declaration After the observations made by the members of the Commission in different parts of Korea, the Commission has reached the following conclusions: The people of Korea are subjected by American occupants to a merciless and methodical campaign of extermination which is in contradiction not only with the principles of humanity, but also with the rules of warfare as laid down, for instance, in the Hague and the Geneva Conventions. This is being done in the following ways: a) by the systematic destruction of food, food-stores and food-factories. Forests and ripe harvests are systematically burned by incendiary bombs; fruh trees are destroyed and peasants working in their fields with their animals are killed by machine-gun fire from low-flying planes. By these means the whole people of Korea is doomed to starvation. b) By the systematic destruction of town after town, of village after village, many of which by no stretch of imagination could be considered to be military objectives or even industrial centres. The aim of systematic destruction is clearly, in the first place, to break the moral of the Korean population and, secondly, to wear them out physically. In these never-ceasing raids, dwellings, hospitals, schools, etc., are destroyed deliberately. Even towns which have already been turned into heaps ashes and in which the surviving inhabitants are reduced to living in dug-outs, continue to be bombed, c) By systematically employing against the peaceful inhabitants weapons banned by international convention i.e., incendiaries, petrol bombs, napalm bombs, time-bombs, and by constantly machine- gunning civilians from low-flying planes. d) By atrociously exterminating the Korean population, in the district temporarily occupied by American and Syngman Rhee (ROK) forces, in the period of occupation hundreds of thousands of civilians, entire families from old men to little children, have been tortured, beaten to death, burned and buried alive. Thousands of others have perished from hunger and cold in overcrowded prisons in which they were thrown without charges being leveled against them, without investigation, trial or sentence. These mass tortures and mass murders surpass the crimes commit by Hitler Nazis in temporarily occupied Europe. Evidence given by all civilians questioned points to the fact that nearly all of these crimes were either perpetrated by US soldiers and officers or else on the order of US officers. Therefore the full responsibility for these atrocities falls on the US Supreme Command in Korea, i.e General MacArthur, General Ridgeway and other commanders of the invading forces who call themselves the Forces of the UNO. The members of the Commission are: Nora K. Rodd (Canada), Chairman; Liu Chin-yang (China), Vice-chairman; Ida Bachmann (Denmark), Vice-chairman; Miluse Svatosova (Czechoslovakia), Secretary; Trees Soenito-Hey tigers (Netherlands); Assistant Secretary: Dr. Monica Felton (Great Britain); Maria Ovsyannikova (USSR); Bai Lang (China); Li K'eng (China); Gilette Ziegler (France); Elisabeth Gal lo (Italy); Eva Priester (Austria); Hilde Cahn (German Democratic Republic); Lilly Waechter (Western Germany); Dr. Germaine Hannevard (Belgium); Li-thi-Que (Viet-Nam); Candelaria Rodriguez, Doctor-in-Law (Cuba); Leonor Aguiar Vazquez, Doctor-in~Law (Argentine); Fatma ben Sliman (Tunisia); Abassia Fodil (Algeria); Kate Fleron Jacobsen, Observer (Denmark). We, women of different countries, of different nationalities, of different religious beliefs and different political views, some of us members of different political parties and others with no party affiliations, had a common task before us: to tell conscientiously and truthfully to the women who have delegated us to this commission and to all the common and peace-loving people of the world the facts as we have seen them. All the acts given below, the figures and other data, mentioned in this document have been recorded personally by the members of the Commission. These facts are all in accordance with the evidence members saw with their own eyes and with statements given to them by eye-witnesses and officials in Korea. The report itself was completed and signed in the time of May 16 to May 27 on Korean territory, somewhere near Pyongyang. ] archive.org/stream/pdfy-1KgDlKSWqRifyuBa/We%20Accuse%20-%20Report%20of%20the%20Committee%20of%20the%20Women%27s%20International%20Democratic%20Federation%20in%20Korea%20%281951%29_djvu.txt

@ElPocho DelMundo 100% correct, they are not fooling anyone.

[@bloomintokyoseoul]

@ElPocho DelMundo Well then it appears US Air Force Generals as well as heads of the US State Department are spreading deceitful propaganda as well...not. These are the bare facts- [ The bombing was long, leisurely and merciless, even by the assessment of America’s own leaders. “Over a period of three years or so, we killed off - what - 20 percent of the population,” Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, told the Office of Air Force History in 1984. Dean Rusk, a supporter of the war and later secretary of state, said the United States bombed “everything that moved in North Korea, every brick standing on top of another.” After running low on urban targets, U.S. bombers destroyed hydroelectric and irrigation dams in the later stages of the war, flooding farmland and destroying crops. ] www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-us-war-crime-north-korea-wont-forget/2015/03/20/fb525694-ce80-11e4-8c54-ffb5ba6f2f69_story.html

[@bloomintokyoseoul]

An instructor comments on Suki Kim's book about teaching in North Korea- [ Joe Terwilliger: I taught at PUST and am an atheist and never hid it, and I taught evolutionary genetics... Her stories are not what I experienced at all... We had freedom to go basically wherever we wanted - when we would go shopping minders dropped us off and said just come back in 90 minutes to the bus and we could go anywhere. Nobody ever gave me shit for not being Christian, and we drank beer whenever we wanted in campus or off. I taught my students philosophy of science and how science works by first questioning everything we believe about truth since science always advances by proving things wrong, not proving them right... And I discussed every topic under the sun openly with my students, and never felt restricted or censored at all. We had unrestricted Internet as well, and nobody monitored what we did or said -- that book was paranoid ramblings of someone who made up her mind what she was going to see before she got there and of course when you enter with a closed mind, you will always see what you expect to see and not what is reality. I enjoyed living there, learned a lot about Korea, and had nothing but positive interactions with the faculty, students and minders, who, if you befriend them and treat them with respect are absolutely going to do everything they can to give you a positive experience. Trust begets trust, and deceit begets deceit...]

[@Keleck1]

Someone in the after-life wants to speak with you. Says his name is "Otto." I think you get da point -- Mr. or Ms. "leftist."

[@bliss4383]

"Nobody ever gave me shit for not being Christian..." Why would they? NK is not Christian either. Terwilliger is his own god, (born ego-centric and stayed that way,) as a many people are. And Satan is the father of all lies.

[@phanswatch]

Timelines don’t add up, Suki Kim taught in 2011. And Joe didn’t teach until 2013. They had different experiences. He can’t discount someone’s experience esp since they were a couple of years apart.
