“Nothing to do with history” and yet the president is the spitting image of this fucking fucker eh Image
“Maybe the NSA director is actually a villain?”
Well thus far he is constantly shown to be uncomfortable, conflicted, henpecked, and all-around a sympathetic dude just not suited to the murderer-torturer lifestyle
We are right on track for this baybee

Right now on MBC there’s a special report on the Aramhoe Incident, in which 10 civilians who had discussed the events of Gwangju in a private meeting were framed as North Korean spies by the NSA. This was 1981. ImageImage
They were tortured for a month endlessly. They were accused of forming a suspicious “organization.” The name “Aram” (of “Aramhoe,” meaning the Aram group), was because the friends had met at one of their daughter’s birthday party. Aram was the daughter’s name.
One of the members, Kim Hyun-chil, had disseminated a flyer about the truth of what had happened in Gwangju. He recalls that the kind of torture he endured was beyond what he could have imagined. Image

Great question! Hope u don’t mind the QRT but I figured this was important context for everyone.
Modern South Korean history, especially as told by Western media but also by Korean media, tends to be narrated as an ECONOMIC success story. K-pop in some ways is the latest chapter of that economic growth.
Styled after the Miracle on the Rhine (Germany), Korean economic growth from the 1960s onwards is sometimes dubbed “Miracle on the River Han.” This is a commonly brought-up narrative when discussing Korea today.

Twitter was a mistake
Cannot believe I have to post this screenshot to prove I didn’t mean what I said when I said Army is the only Korean political party to support feminism Image

He definitely said some words at the presscon that were pretty meaningless. He tried to argue “we’re just using the setting, this isn’t about history, it’s a fictional romance.” Meanwhile every single character description mentions concrete historical events.
The company also tried to argue back in March that the drama is about the 1987 election, not the 1987 student protests (aka the June Struggle). This argument is complete nonsense.

Because we see it for what it is. Because we lived and learned this history and we know what is happening in Korea right now. Because this is not just fiction *to us.*
If you don’t understand then stay in your lane.

한국인 맞습니다
민증 까드릴까요
경북 안동에서 태어나 서울 잠실에서 자랐습니다
어렸을 때 부모님 따라서 해외 살아서 영작 할 줄 아는 거구요
부모님 운동권 출신 맞습니다. 아버님 77학번 어머님 78학번 소위 말하는 “긴급조치9호 세대”이십니다.
“교포 바나나”라는둥 교포에 대한 비하 발언도 매우 불쾌하고 제가 진짜 한국인이 아니라는 말도 심히 불쾌합니다. 사과하세요.
