<DIV><FONT size=4>Dear friends and colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Now that the blogosphere is so active, especially in South
Korea,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I wonder: <STRONG>Are there any <U>Koreans</U> who blog, <U>in
English</U>, to</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>comment on and explain matters Korean to a global
audience</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG>which still remains overwhelmingly ignorant of
Korea?</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Despite the volume and intensity of Koreans' own online
debates,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>the English-language blogs known to me are exclusively
</FONT><FONT size=4>expatriate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>With all respect to the Marmot et al (<FONT
color=#008000>www.rj<B>koehler</B>.com</FONT>), it would </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>be good - nay, it's essential - to have specifically
</FONT><FONT size=4>Korean perspectives</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>as well; perhaps especially at this time of much
misunderstanding.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I hope this is just my own ignorance, and would </FONT><FONT
size=4>welcome all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>enlightenment, leads, tips, URLs, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Best wishes</FONT></DIV>
