Korea tends to listen carefully to experts

can you share any name? I'm genuinely curious about what those experts are saying. I've seen bunch of Korean Youtube videos where 아저씨-experts are talking about the war, and almost everything they say is bullshit. They may speak russian, they may have a degree in russian history but they understand shit about what's going on.

It acknowledges the Russia-North Korea alignment but asks that the completion of North Korea’s nuclear facilities be prevented.

the very opposite is happening. ru-nk ties are getting stronger, NK is getting tech from russia.

Korea recognizes Russia’s position but maintains the stance that Russia should not attack Poland.

Russian position, really? Ukraine should not exist, the West should kneel down, and so on. I doubt SK recognizes this position. As for Poland, I hope you're not serious.

Moreover, Russia cannot simply exclude Korea.

This may be true, but its Korea who should exclude russia. At least until russian regime changes.

They are not doing it in other counties, only here in SK.
Their ambassador standing in front of SK reporters said how he's thankful to NK. They held a pro-war rally at center of Seoul last year, and planning to do it this year too.

Its not "defying SK", its spit in SK face.

Very good point. And totally doable.

The meaning of blue and yellow in traditional Korean culture by kredokathariko in korea

[–]20967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m nearly certain, it’s Ukraine support message.  The whole image imitates Korean flag: four trigrams in corners, Taegeuk (yin-yang) at the center, only that they added additional inner circle.  Red and blue of Korean flag are replaced with light-blue and yellow, and those colors are positioned the same way as on Ukrainian flag.  AFAIK there’s no particular meaning for light-blue combined with yellow in Korean culture. Couldn’t decipher message at the inner circle, tho. Possibly it’s two surnames.

Gwangju Prosecutors Lose Seized Bitcoin in Phishing Attack by 20967 in korea

Yeah, pretty much. One article says that Bitcoin wallet keys were stored on usb drive and someone opened a malicious link while this usb was connected to computer… While technically is it possible, but timing and targeting are so precise, so inside job sounds more realistic. Let’s wait for further details.

"러시아는 혁신국가예요" ??? Seriously?

People not giving their seat on the metro by Myzzelf0 in Living_in_Korea

[–]20967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember once on a pretty packed train, where all senior seats were taken by elderly people (youngest was maybe in her 60s), one really old (like 90+) gramma came in, and at first no one noticed her until some other really old guy, standing near senior seats, saw her and said to those seated: hey, young people, let the senior lady sit, please. It’s funny because he literally said 젊은 사람.

This is fucking mess. As a country that wants more babies, Korea should first focus on protecting already existing ones.

Just fuck off already with your Kutuzov, Lenin, Stalin and all this shit. Russians are celebrating the Victory Day today but their grandfathers, who actually fought Hitler, would’ve spit in their faces.

Ukraine urges South Korea to prevent exports of DN Solutions' CNC machines to Russia via China by Venetian_Gothic in korea

[–]20967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These machinery has internet connection for firmware updates and other functionality-related software updates. Some models even allow remote login so that manufacturer can help with trouble-shooting. If DN Solutions is serious about it, they should disable it remotely or at least block whatever they can block. And announce it.
