"Just experienced this. I checked in and I was assigned to the backmost seat. Afterwards I got on the plane, and then the attendant told me to move my seat without any explanation. I didn't know why and I asked thanks to the help of my friend Hoonmaru's translation." 1/3
"The only answer I received was "I told you to move so you must move," and when I asked why again, they asked me "do you want to get off this plane?" My tone was not in refusal, I merely asked why... I was so angry and confused but I was in no position to get off the plane." 2/3
"And also I didn't want to get off. I had to get home. So I moved my seat, and later on I was told the reason was that the backmost seats had no moniters. I felt as though this was something that they could have told me from the beginning." 3/4
"I don't ever want to get on this airline again and I'm very disappointed in the service. I feel like crappy things are happening to me. No one would have felt crappy if I'd just been told why from the beginning..." 4/4

Back in the US today btw where defamation laws are QUITE different 💅🏻
The response from Clien, after JTBC sent a “we will sue you if you keep saying mean things” statement
I’m actually curious how they think this will play out for them if they follow through. The cognitive dissonance between “we have freedom of expression!” and “we will sue you if you criticize!” cannot be lost upon them, surely?
An actual North Korean spy story that gets deserved to be made into a TV show/movie: the story of Muhammad Kansu, AKA Jeong Soo-il
Jeong (affectionately called Prof. Kansu) was an ethnic Korean-Chinese man who was born to ethnic Korean parents in Manchuria and later attained North Korean citizenship in ‘63. He was trained as a spy in the late 1970s.
He first went to Beirut, Lebanon, to launder his identity and attain Lebanese citizenship, and after much travelling (Tunisia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea) he managed to create an identity as a half Lebanese, half Filipino researcher who could safely enter South Korea.
The law does not decide whether something is historical distortion, or offensive, or stupid, or insensitive.
The law simply guarantees FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION because South Korea is a fucking democracy.
The same people who declared “The Blue House personally approved this drama” are also the ones saying “we won” because a court ruled that a broadcast station is allowed to broadcast their drama
I’m sorry do you WANT South Korea to become an authoritarian state again??
I mean I guess that’s why y’all are supporting this drama so hard, because the idea of South Korea sliding back into authoritarian rule is so ✨aesthetic✨ or something for you?????
Excerpt from longform article on Snowdrop
“One person who identified themselves as a production staff fir Snowdrop said, “the drama is made with the perception that ppl at the NSA/ANSP were also normal people.””
“There is some satire about the government regime of the time, but they’re not portrayed as very bad people. In the latter part of the drama there’s some story related to the red scare manipulation incident, but the drama doesn’t have a strongly negative view of the NSA/ANSP.”
The thing is - I actually believe you can make a media work about the humanity of people who worked for the NSA/ANSP/police at this time. PEPPERMINT CANDY is one example.
But in order to do it, I also believe you have to have a very, very clear understanding of history.
