The image to the right is considered Korea’s top “cultural landmark.” And boy has someone redecorated it.
It went up in flames last night and arson is suspected.
Here are my guesses as to the cause:
- a group of very drunk ajossi (salarymen) thought it would be a good idea to celebrate the Lunar New Year by lighting a bunch of fireworks inside the tinderbox
- the image is actually a tweaked screenshot from the upcoming Starcraft II game Korean’s are salivating over
- it is from a deleted scene from D-War
- it is a re-enactment of the LA Riots in which Korean shop owners banded together with shotguns and kept the rioters from looting their stores
- it is from the trailer of the live-action He-Man movie starring Dolph Lundgren or any Jean Claude Van Damme movie that they show on the SuperAction station (channel 26)
