June 1st. 2008. Democracy in South Korea has died out...

[MNIKELL]

just kick this government with a zero vote that is it. if he would not listen to his own people then who does he represent?

[henr013]

This Movie is not showing truth, it's just edited as same as MBC and KBS's one. How about many injured young police men attacked by people, please show them together with citizens. This movie is very emotional and very unfair. Maybe almost Korean like this kind of movie, they simply upset and simple forget it. Korean people should consider about the soldiers who died as UN troops in Korean War, why they sent your country from other country and what they did. What your intention for this?

[seazer]

too bad beef sold pretty damn well on the first day it went on sale.

lol it pains me to watch videos like this.

korean government needs to give korean police ammunition.

so they can shoot the stupid ass illegal protesting mother fuckers.

[kingdom413]

It's not true for ID: bye2u2night' saying but that the beef imported is aging under 20months, which is samely being served to Japan and Tiwan. It is so irrational to try to impeach the newly elected President merely due to such issue. Moreover it's been just 4 month old Gov.

[paulzzang]

If Korea loses some things through the FTA, it'll gain something as well. No one's dumb enough to give out everything. That's why we have NEGOTIATIONS. If you have time to block the roads every day and cause people who live near the place to park their cars 12 blocks away from their houses and walk through the crowd just to get home, why don't you go figure out a way for Korea's automobile industry to help out the farmers a bit? Nothing's free. No pain, no gain.

[paulzzang]

democracy isn't in danger in korea.

this whole "peaceful" protest is pointless.

do you really think they give a fuck what the noisy minority say? just because the majority of koreans aren't causing trouble to support the U.S.-Korea FTA doesn't mean you noisy bum are allowed to use "democracy" as an excuse to bitch at the President. President Lee isn't crazy, he's just confused or something. Being a President is much more difficult than being a mayor; we all know that.

[AznYoun]

u guys listen to the other side of this 'peaceful' story, first off , they are protesting illegally, second of all they are blockading the road, thus traffic is fucked up 99 percent of south koreans talk shit about those homeless demonstrators, third of all, this vid only has the footages of peaceful protesters, but lots of the policemen were injured

[shadie7101]

President Lee is crazy just like Bush. I oppose all of his policies.

[daninkorea2003]

Plus the only people protesting are students and people without jobs. The rest of us will be happy to buy 3 times cheaper beef.

[daninkorea2003]

This is such a joke. The Korean beef farmers could not be happier with the irrational behaviour of the Korean people. PROTEST ABOUT SOMETHING THAT MATTERS.

[coreadude]

Ignorant, myopic, gullible drones. The only reason Koreans are protesting is because their media mis-reported the facts to them in the first place, and no one is willing or they are unable to research the facts for themselves! Korean Media reported Koreans are born with a gene that makes them succumb to mad cow disease easier than the rest of the world. and The U.S.A. wants to send all of the sick old cows to Korea. The U.S.A. actually calls Korea an ally? "With friends like this..."

[asd7738]

쪽팔린다 그만하자

[ronhh1]

Lee Myeong Bak needs to A. Send in the military to force these clowns to go home. B. Take control of the Media that is spreading these lies about Mad Cow, "USA wants to sends us Intestines", "Mad cow disease is air Born", "It the meat used for dog food", "Koreans are more vulnerable to Mad Cow than other humans" Hahahahahahah. Arseclowns

[ihavelife]

yeah . . . mb is too soft.

get some rubber bullets ready.

[ronhh1]

South Korea will never have a strong Democracy while crazy opposition parties and anti-globalists are running the media. Those police are doing a good job keeping those crazies from attaching government building.

[ronhh1]

I'm sorry that girl got kicked in the head, but she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. She's NOT no freedom fighter.

[ronhh1]

The whole world is laughing at South Korea and their pointless protests!

[Crapidiot]

"在中国你觉得你很幸福吗？天安门事件和光州时间很像。韩国人可­以为民主牺牲自己的一切。中国人呢？拿旧历史 出来，觉得自己很了不起吗？

oh trying to be righteous are we?

ppl are free to choose what kind of lives they want and no we dont want to be like them

*shrugs*

[280534701]

难道中国人没有为此付出鲜血吗！？！！

[Crapidiot]

haha confucius is not korean

karma for koreans@!

[Bigjohnnywad]

I cannot wait for North Korea to invade you arrogant fucking South Koreans..put you all back in line..

[cali4nian]

FUCK BUSH!!!

I mean.. FUCK 2MB !!!!!

[ASILAMSARA]

hahahahhahhaha, is Karma for Korea

[kwakamazi]

그리고 대통령을 싫어하는 국민이 80% 라구요?

50%에서 60%이상이 이대통령을 선거때 선택을 했는데, 대통령이 된지 얼마나 됬는지 아십니까?

대통령이되면 금방 나라가 잘사고 국민이 금방편하게 됩니까? 너무 빨리 마음을 바꾸는건 아닌지요?

정책에 불만이 있으면, 올바른방법으로 그정책에 반대하는 법안을 국회의원으로 하여금 국회에 재출해서 통과가 될수있도록 국민을 설득하는 방법도 있다고 생각합니다. 그방법이야말로 진정한 선진국 민주주 대한민국 국민이라 생각됩니다.

대모는 어느나라의 문화가 될수가 없다고 생각합니다.

대모도 옳은 방식이 있다고 생각 됩니다.

아무쪼록 내자신만 생각하지말고 정확한 정보를 알아서 비폭력적인 행동을 하면 합니다.

[kwakamazi]

무조건 30개월 이상의 미국소고기를 반대할것이 아니라, 자세히 알고 어떻한 방법이 국민을 위한것인지 연구를 해야 한다고 생각합니다.

그리고, 무조건 재협상을 해야한다고하면 그것은 나중에 대한민국을 세계여러국가들이 신용이 없는 나라며, 선진국가와 거리가 멀고, 국가차원에 협상채결을 항상 번복할수 있는 나라라고 할것입니다.

그리고, 무조건 자기 생각에 반대하는 의견을 말한다고 쪽빠리라고 하는건 정말 당신이 부끄럽습니다.

저도 일본저지른 과거사에 대해서 괘심하고 국가적 대외적으로 사과와 배상을 해야한다고 생각합니다.

하지만, 당신은 그것에 대해서 무었을 했읍니까?

당신gheyness1121 의 생각과 다르면, 쪽빠리라고 놀이기나 하지요? 부끄러운 행동입니다.

[kwakamazi]

시민이 불편하면, 국회의원을통해 법안을 국회에 제출 통과시켜 국민들의 목소리가 알려져야 합니다.

국회의원이,국회가 내뜻대로 안한다고, 무작정 내가 나라을 바꾸겠다고 폭력적인 초심을 읽은 대모는 후진국가 행동이라 생각 됩니다.

진실을 알고 행동을 해야한다고 생각됩니다.

정말, 30개월이상 미국소고기는 전부 광우병에 걸린 소고기인지를 알아야 합니다.

전세계에서 한국으로 수입된 소고기 수출국가중에 광우병이 제일 많은 나라들은 거으다 유럽에 있으며 캐나다 입니다. 미국은 지난 수년간 2-3번 정도이며, 그것도 캐나다에서 드려온 소들입니다

한국과 유럽연합국가들과 미국의 안전전검방책이나 대처능력은 당연히 미국이 제일 안전하는것은 모두다 부정할수 없는 사실입니다. 물론, 미국에서도 사고가 나지만, 유럽과 한국의 대처방식보다 더 빠르고 명확하게 합니다. 한국같이 뉴스나 정부차원에서 나서야 임시로 대처하는 눈감고 야옹식에 방식과는 차원이 다르다고 생각합니다.

[kwakamazi]

그렇게 말씀하시는 당신은 진정으로 대한민국을 사랑합니까? 정말로 한국인으로서 나라를 사랑합니까?

그러시다면, 한국을 위해서는 어는길이 진정으로 바른길 입니까? 국민으로써 초심이 어지럽히는 대모를 하며, 폭력을쓰며, 경찰들이 대모하시는 사람들이 가고하는길을 막는다고, 또한 대모하시는분들이 다원하는데 그선택을 막는다고, 흥분해서 힘으로 대치하는 행동들은 옳은 행동입니까?

제생각엔 진정으로 선진국의 국민들은, 만약에 정부차원에서 국민들과 받대의 결정을 했을땐, 그것을 대모나 폭력을로 할것이 아니라, 그결과를 바꿀수있는 법안을 국회의원으로하여금 국회에 제출해서 그법안이 통과될수 있도록하는 방법이 있을것입니다.

그리고 그법안이 통과하면 한국국민은 진정으로 선진국민이 될수있다 생각합니다.

하지만, 그법안이 통과가 못한다해도, 그결과를 받아드릴수 있는것도 선진국의 국민이라 할수 있으면, 민주국가의 국민이라 생각됩니다.

[crownwang81]

It seems that Korean eat too much mad cow. people were infected by the beef!

[Tojospapa]

To quote some Korean journalist, violence is part of the Korean culture. In 2005, 1500 Koreans went to Hongkong to protest against the World Trade Organization. There they beat policemen and journalists up and burned cars.

v=BCH30ELIjX0

[AlbertaSteve]

Regardless of the mad cow issue.

Your police are fucking abusive. They should be ashamed of themselves.

[blizzta1]

I find that Koreans who have always been living in South Korea are very stubborn. I mean, it is as if hating the U.S. is engraved into their minds so that when something small like this happens, they go crazy about it.

Please don't be a retard and call me names because I'm sure many people who would do so are out there. I want a good, insightful response so that I can hopefully change my mind about Koreans living in Korea. Thank you. :D

[gheyness1121]

koreans are reacting like this because its not something small. eating beef made out of a mad cow gives people mad cow disease, which forms holes in their brain. also,the thing that really pisses koreans off is the president. the president before kept refusing to inport 30months+ cows because of the disease but the new president just signed the form because he is a suck up to america. if you know what bbk incident is, its easy to understand.

[Koreaisbest]

Blizz, im Korean & i agree with you

tension hasent ever been this crazy.

theres way to mant riots is south K

& some of my family got hurt by dumb Protesters.

[killzer11]

the people that riot are all fcking dumb shits... you have 456 000 more chances of dying from an airplane crash than by eating beef meat with mad cow disease

[kwakamazi]

한국 과 한국인들은 아직도 어리군요.

그 높은 교육과전통을 가지고 있으면서도 점점 폐쇄되 가고있군요. 소고기인지 경제인지 이대통령인지 아니면 무조건 편하고 좋은것 명품과 자신만 편하기만 하면 된다는 생각이 우리 대한민국을 속으로 썩게하는군요.

정확하고 명확한 이유없이, 30개월인지 무조건 미국산 30개월 소고기인지, 아니면 무조건 미국인지 이대통렬인지...

대한민국 국민들이여, 무엇을 원하고 어디로 가고있나요?

내가 싫으면 내가 뽑은 대통령을 나가라 하고, 내가 불편하면 대모하는 대한민국이 부끄럽읍니다.

미국산 30개월이상된 소고기는 무조건 광우병인 있다고 생각하는 중하교, 고등학교, 대학교, 사회인 들이여, 다시 진정으로 검토하십시요.

무의미한 이유없는 잘못알고 하는 대모는 부끄럽읍니다.

[gheyness1121]

님 쪽빠리죠

[sizlove12]

내가 싫으면 내가 뽑은 대통령을 나가라하고.. 라는 부분이 상당히 거슬리네요... 한명만 지금 그러는줄 아십니까? 대한민국의 거의 80%의 국민이 이대통령을 싫어하고 있다는거 아시나요? 그리고 정책을 싫어한다가 문제가아니라.. 그 정책이 대한민국 국민에게 영향을 끼친다는것도 아시고 있나요?

돈있는 사람이야 뭐 수도민영화, 의료보험 민영화 되도 상관 없죠.. 돈이 있으니까요... 하지만 양산층이 아닌 서민 계측.. 즉.. 일반 수입원들은 어떻게 살아갈까요? 수도세 비싸서 샤워도 자주 못하고.. 손가락 잘려도 다시 붙이는데 병원에서 원하는 만큼 내야하죠.. 그 원하는 만큼은 적은돈이 분명 아닐것입니다.. 병원 의사들도 살아야 하거든요 ^^ .... 이런 댓글 달때 다시 한번 생각 해보시고 달아주시죠...

[HappyKorea0331]

OK, expell him. Try another one. You know, once, kim Youngsam was supported by 13%, Kim daejung 11%, Noh Muhyun 7%. All presidents had a hard time in which their support rate was extremely low. Expell them all. You will have two presidents per year!!! Great Korea!!!

Above all, what the election for? Let's do presidient election every month!! Is that what you want?

[ihavelife]

i am embarassed to be associated with these numb nuts.

[shc9975]

알려야 하죠, 국제 자존심을 지켜 우리가 죽을지, 국제망신이 되어도, 우리가 살지의 문제입니다, 한국인이시라면 한국의 언론도 억제되어있다는거 아실텐데요, 해외에서도 현제 한국 자료가 부족해서 정보를 잘 못쓰고있다고 했습니다, 이렇게 정보를 제공해서, 명박이의 잘못된 행동을 공개해야지, 명박이가 나가던 죽던 할꺼 아닙니까, 태클은 받고싶지 않습니다만, 태클이 오면 어쩔수 없겠네요

[youn111111]

Mad goverment! Mad police! BIG MAD 2MB KOREA PRESIDENT!

[Doosandonga]

u bakas, stil dont get it? its economy, not beef. koreans dont want another IMF (international market failure), or have an increased rate of autism by consuming nearly chemically grown cows. in one world, we want to be as clean as Japan, and not as dirty as America.

[hongfooey]

I think Koreans change their minds way too quickly. One slip by the president and they start waving candles...Just because its peaceful does not mean its right. Its quite stupid actually, since I read he (the president) did it for the citizens.

Dumbasses.

[Doosandonga]

ROK's currently president is corrupted. This issue is not just about "getting meat from America." It's about the economy of ROK. Despite the fact that numerous citizens are protesting for the sake of the future of their country, the president isnt giving shit (or more like he is force to not give shit because of fricken USA, or more likely, the NWO).

[gheyness1121]

you dont know about him enough to say that... do you even know what bbk incident is? also, do you even know why koreans voted for him?

[TaeYeon1004]

씨발 빨갱이뇬아 이딴거 외국사이트에 올리지마라...

[sizlove12]

야이 씨발년아 이런걸 처 알려야지 외국이 한국이 어떻게 처돌아가는지 알지

니가 한국에 지금 살고있으면 그런말이 처 나오냐? 애국자면 그딴 말이 처나오냐?

니가 빨갱이지? 알바냐?

[ihavelife]

Democracy to justify any unruly demonstration? I don't think so.  Nice try you Koreans.

[sailingtobizantium]

It's not about the beef issue anymore. It's about democracy and civil rights. Police is harassing Korean citizens and THIS IS TYRANNY, NOT DEMOCRACY. You cannot make fun of those demonstrators sho are trying to save Korea from dictatorship.

[chocobit125]

chinese - big country , small citizen; rich country, poor people. so hate korea more than japan

[chocobit125]

中国在天安门事件的时候民主化的过程中断和死亡了，而韩国在广州­事件后竟然取得了成功。是人民用血换来的。大陆的中国人都是奴隶­，政府的奴隶。怕失去自己目前拥有的，因为胆怯，没能反抗。明知­道自己受压迫。还以大国思想来面对其他民主国家。告诉你，是民主­国家。而不是独裁中国。

[kim4738]

Democracy died out..my ass.... there is too much democracyif you ask me. Harm a police in U.S. you would be shot with a rubber bullet or arrested, but these (fools) who get mauled by the police are almost decieved by those who want such images.일명 깃발 부대.

[Spongecola32]

Thats good for korea, hahaha! Fuck korea! Most of koreans are asshole!

[roadtoroma]

what a bleeding night!

Dirty things seldom happen in sunlight!

[keithg1]

This is terrible. I knew it. US owns Korea and they the Koreans can do nothing to escape domination. The Politicians are bought out or forced.

[zzangkoreanmina]

Hail, Republic of Korea sick mind

[clarencekeys]

what`s the problem ... fucking America??

[Morgenliao]

We believe the democracy is abusolutely right, but I still suggest Korean get more information about beef.

Don't judge a president just by a single affair.

[HappyKorea0331]

I agree. What is the reason of the vote right for only over 18 year old people? They are using those very young students spreading sentimental lies. It is not democracy. It is dirty, the worst instigation. They are really disgusting. All you will agree with me when you meet their lies on the web site.

[gotgryffindor]

I believe your definitely ignorant about the current problem in korea, or are you arebeiting for Han naradand?

[HappyKorea0331]

You are typical person who doesn't know anything about logics. Point out what is wrong. Or nobody will agree with your offensive speaking except your Agora friends.

[elpaso71095]

OK, FACTS (something only the Lee Myung Bak administration is paying attention to): Number of mad cow cases in the US EVER = 3. (Number of Birds culled because of bird flu in Korea 6,500,000 and counting.) Number of US cows with mad cow that were consumed WORLDWIDE = 0. Number of people WORLDWIDE who have gotten mad cow disease from US beef = 0. Number of "genetically more susceptible Koreans" in the US = 2,087,496. Number of those Koreans who got mad cow from eating US beef = 0.

[bye2u2night]

impressive mate. too bad those aren't facts per se. it's important to note that we cannot speak factually concerning this matter. first of all, koreans are aware of the unlikeliness of mad cow disease from u.s. beef. but the point is, they would like to minimize that risk. the u.s. exports young cows (lower risk) to countries like japan, but is trying to bully korea into importing older cows (higher risk). it's take it or leave it. THAT is what koreans are protesting.

[bye2u2night]

secondly, it's the select few in korea that's causing all the uproar. many of the protestors aren't even protesting for the right reasons. meaning, many of them are Lee myung bak oppossors who are jumping at this opportunity to express their feelings against pres. lee. But guess what makes the highlights? the beguiling media once again is doing a fine job to paint a picture that is more ENTERTAINING than accurate. the world may think korea has gone mad but that isn't the case.

[bye2u2night]

however, it's my personal opinion that koreans had better start cooperating with their president. pres. lee is trying to kiss america's ass and that isn't the most dignified thing to do, but it is nonetheless the smart thing to do. get smart you koreans. Many of you are like fish in a pond. You have to become more global and think like a global citizen instead of just a proud korean. I know you're proud people and you should be. but pride will only get you so far.

[asianmennow]

how much 2,280,000 won can you spend in a month in south korea?

[fatpiglazy]

KOrea: another ass kisser to America.

[nara070]

ㅠ.ㅠ

[kim4738]

I LOLd.. if that wasin the U.S. those rioters would be in prison or shot with rubb er bullets.

[coreano625]

From what I'm hearing, this whole US.beef issue in S.Korea is due to a translation error... Who's the dumb ass who hired the idiot to translate a crucial agreement...

Fking amazing.. Seriously.. embarrasing...

[nickyang1]

Violent protest meets violent crackdown, as always in S. Korea.

[island1492]

Too bad. Who judges whom? The Koreans are fighting for their rights and that is what DEMOCRACY is for. This is not about humiliating all Koreans. It is about human rights and the misuse of power by authority.

[HappyKorea0331]

Ask them about the reason of this happenning. They will say " We don't want to eat trash meat from USA. Somebody said americans don't eat american beef at all." or " Mad cow desease is air born. So one patient can kill all Korean in the near future." , and so on. Some bastards made wrong rumors and provoke young students to go to president's house. So what can you do? Police are only hundreds,those "Democratic" people who tried to meet president are tens of thousands.I want to hear your answer.

[funkyhahaha]

Who thinks "Mad cow desease is air born."? you are the just funkin' liar! don't insult them!

[HappyKorea0331]

It is one of the rumors in the begining of last month in Korea, sucker. Many people knows very exergerated or wrong information about mad cow desease in Korea. You check the truth and watch out your big mouth.

[funkyhahaha]

hahah I know the rumors! but nobody trusts that and especially, the people in the democracy.. don't lie to us anymore !

[HappyKorea0331]

Well now they don't believe it. But again, they believe another new wrong rumor. They will say they don't believe it next month. It is infinite repeating. So.. you tell me. What is the reason of this big messy annoying happening? Don't say it is people's health. It is real lie. You are importing fishes with lead inside, and poisoned dumplings. But they are not from America. so you didn't make it big issue. If I am wrong, don't insult me with foolish words, but educate me.

[funkyhahaha]

I'm sorry for insulting you, but you've misunderstood. they are angry at their government and the stupid agreement! not the rumors! they are not idiots as you think. Please don't insult them.

[wjw2145]

다른 외국애들이 보면 진짜 우리나라 인권 탄압하는 국가인지 알겠다... 좀 생각좀 하고 올려라...

지금 인권탄압하고 있잖아~ 도대체 어디 살고 있는 사람이래

[wjw2145]

뭐를 인권탄압하고 있는데???

[HappyKorea0331]

Ha... you said democracy? The only lesson here is that you must responsible to your illegal actions, that's all. You guys are not victims but criminals. This is nothing about democracy. You always say poor people are suppressed by government, but you guys are not poor people. This sentimental song makes me sick. That song is legend of 1980's raal democratic movement. Don't use this song for your own political purpose.

[koreajason]

Clever editing. I don't agree with clubbing, but I think it wasn't nearly as bad as you make it out to be. Also, even though it was mostly a peaceful protest, with around 30 thousand people, there's no way of knowing for sure what went on there. Democracy isn't over in South Korea, that's for sure.
