I think you need the learn the slight difference between North and South Korea.

NK: The loniest dictator regime on the planet. Its people are brainwashed, live in poverty, have ZERO freedom, and sleep in constant fear.

SK: More advanced than Japan, complete with pop boybands. Beautiful country to visit, amazing food, amazing culture, amazing nightlife, and so on...

NK:


SK:

What did PlatinumRice say to indicate that he/she didn't know about the difference between NK and SK?

He's an entertainer and the music and video are entertaining.

The real misfortune in modern society lies behind people who make comments like yours.

oh damn now he did it, he spoke out against the hivemind

Psy was on Ryan Seacrest's radio program this morning. For having an American college degree, he kinda sucked at English.

I heard him on TMZ and was also surprised at how fobby he is, given his american education.

from the interview, Psy says he entered American college barely knowing any English, so I don't think it's that bad

Nothing in his statement inferred that he does not know. Only your statement.

Exactly.

You're being overtly literal in a typical internet fashion, failing to read between the lines. It's okay, most typical internet geeks are bad at social cues.

Let's put money on if the OP in question knew the difference between NK and SK. Hmm?

How is he gonna follow up on this?

Is he gonna imitate Kim Jong Il in the next video?

I don't think it's a good idea.

Inference, do you have it?

I'll take that bet.

There was NO indication that he was unaware of the difference. None.

The fact that he mentioned Kim Jong Il's name at all shows some basic knowledge of SK/NK. That infers that he is aware of the difference. (as anyone should be unless they're completely ignorant)

... and PlatinumRice joined this forum specifically to argue on behalf of a South Korean company (Samsung).

Just look over his posts. Almost everything is in defense of Samsung and Asians. It's a stretch to suggest that he's completely ignorant of the differences between SK and NK without something to indicate it.

So is this the most viewed video of 2012? I feel like it's gotta be. Here's to Psy reaching #1 of all time soon

I'd be willing to wager that you are more prone to assuming more people don't understand such differences, than actually do, simply because you assume they remain blissfully ignorant of any culture and history outside their own.

I don't think that is the case, at least not in the US--especially as it pertains to NK.

make gangnam style parody video, get fired

A group of red swimsuit-clad lifeguards thought they were having some innocent summer fun when they made a spoof video of a Korean pop singer's dance moves. Instead, all fourteen lifeguards were fired Wednesday.

In the YouTube video above, young lifeguards who worked at a city pool in El Monte, Calif. can be seen rubbing sunscreen on each other, dancing in synchronization and doing lots of hip thrusts (including underwater).

As countless other videos have done this summer, the video--titled "Lifeguard Style"--is a spoof of singer PSY (Park Jae Sung)'s "Gangnam Style" music video, released in July, in which he performs his signature "horse-riding dance." His video is a viral sensation. But when the young California lifeguards mimicked the video move-by-move, their supervisors "said the entire video was inappropriate and disgusting," Gabriel Gonzalez, a lifeguard supervisor who was terminated, told NBC.

But that's not the official reason the city is giving for the 14 terminations. Instead, the city said in a statement that the group was fired for using city property, including the pool and their uniforms, for private use.

The lifeguards said they were off the clock when they shot the video and that they were just having fun.

"The video was made just to have fun memories before we go back to college," one of the lifeguards, Juliet, told KTLA. "We didn't think it would offend anyone," she said.

"The community is telling us, 'What's wrong with the video?' I'm still kind of confused by all of this. I've dedicated myself to that place," fired pool manager Gabriel Gonzalez, 23, told the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

What's worse is that thirteen of the fourteen were college students using their income to pay for tuition and books, ABC reports. Their biggest concern is how this might affect their futures in college, graduate school and the job market.

"To be blunt, this was my only job and my only source of income in terms of paying for books and contributing to my schooling. So as of right now I guess I'll be back on the job hunt, and I don't even know if I'm going to get any good recommendations now with this going on," fired lifeguard Michael Roa said.

"We just felt it was really unfair and not really grounds for termination," former lifeguard Alexander Huerta told CBS. "I thought maybe a write up or a suspension; not that I would be asked to leave," fired lifeguard Daniel Surmenian agreed.

The group has since started a Facebook page titled, "Bring Back The El Monte Aquatic Center 14," which has 584 likes, and a petition on Change.org to get their jobs back up, which has 465 signatures so far. They plan to bring the matter to the next city council meeting.
