[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 62, Issue 14

[Hanna]

Hi Aidan,

Great question - I'm also curious and hope that others will chime in with
some URLs here.

One blog I read regularly - written by a Korean in Korea, in English.
Tech-focused, but with some interesting nuggets and social/cultural
commentary weaved inthere.
