Several in this forum wondered if there is a S. Korean equivalent of our Free Republic.

I found one while reading the internet version of Monthly Chosun magazine.

The url is:

www.independent.co.kr

Unfortunately, it is all in Korean. So to many, it is not readable. For those who can read Korean, they can give it a try.

Wonderful! Now I have something to enlist my lovely daughter-in-law to help me with when I'm at their home!

Have her tell the S. Koreans on that forum what fine citizens their American relatives are and that the people on this forum greatly admire them.

They're real stand-up men and women.

RE #4

The babefish translation is really atrocious for Korean-to-English. You need a lot of imagination to figure out the translation.:)

Oh ok .. sorry I didn't know

Hey Tiger. What ever happened to this website? Do you know? I liked their comics and graphics.

The owner folded it. He is now primarily doing pod cast and running youtube channel.

He had been through a lot. Once hauled into jail for some minor(probably trumped-up) charge. Politicians on the right have been indifferent to need for alternative media to counter the onslaught of left-wing media.

After the current president was elected, he and others were on TV program as right-wing pundits for a while, but later canned due to the left-wing boycott. That is, if somebody like him is on the show, they won't be coming. Without two sides present, the news show doesn't work.

"working now to follow my left nostril. RighteousTV lying as usual.

Legal immigrant to visit based on merit.

Trump pwns the country."

This could be entertaining.
