<br>
I am somewhat irritated by the title. Can you kindly explain what maybe <br>
meant? Korea has military bases in todays Myanmar? I believe not so. Or <br>
is this about historic Japanese-occupied Burma, with Koreans soldiers <br>
and officers there. But there were no female Korean soldiers amongst <br>
them (doing what feminist art)? How are we to understand this riddle?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
