Korean Ladies with Their Eyes on Cocoons

Could you find the likes of human species here in Korea? In other words, I wonder whether you could discover people who behave just like those on the upper crust of Korean society. I deplore that their legs are at the Right, but that their mouths are at the Left. (I don't think you need me to paraphrase the previous sentence, do you? Wait a minute, then. You'll tell.)

Ms Kim Joo Ha, a prime-time newscaster of MBC TV in Seoul announced a few days ago her wedding plan on the third of October this year. Greetings of congratulations were pouring from her colleague members but the information about her bride-groom to be has riled her friendly and hostile viewers up at the same time.

Her bride-groom to be, Mr. Philip Kang, ages 33, has turned out to be an ideal cocoon (a safety haven) for young Korean women who are nervous about their future family security at the time of national emergencies. Do you need me to enumerate qualifications for the cocoon for young elite Korean ladies?

Sure. A Korean descent with U.S. citizenship is an ideal stuff. A U.S. citizen on the high social ladder is O.K., whichever their ethnicity may be. Academic achievements above master's degree is desirable. A good office worker with a promising future with bulging paychecks is a requisite. (Snobbish?)


It has turned out that the folks from the Right expressed ire toward her and that the viewers from the Left had reservations, but disappointments were evident. What has it been that she got them angry and disappointed at the same time? That's been because her duplicity and the subsequent perfidy got her viewers feeling betrayed. (How come she has out of the blue turned around and showed her back on both of them.)

She has so far voiced anti-U.S. sentiments personally and professionally. She has been inclined to incite street demonstrations against the U.S. military presence here in Korea. She has derided and attacked the Rightist media and politicians. She has strongly defended the media's partial and distortional coverage of events before and after the Presidential Impeachment.

I fail to see why this is a big deal? This is not specific to Korean women, women from around the world want to marry a man from the US, and they would prefer one with a big pay check.
