  • Enlighten me... Why can't they just boycot the beef as consumers?

  • They feel disenfranchised by their government, and are worried that without open protests, their message wouldn't get out, and that their government will still import "bad" beef anyway. Also, not all beef they purchased is labeled with country of origin. If they order it in a restaurant, for example, they may not know if it came from America or not. The store owner could lie about the country of origin, and there aren't necessarily any laws that protect consumers from this.

  • strangely...us beef sells real well now again....

  • the beef issue was the catalyst, however, there were many other issues as well.

  • this is an embarrasement to the democratic system of korea..... damn socialists... fucking arrest them all

  • wow all that over some beef, and I though the listeria crisis was huge :)

  • I would say its because of the FTAs coming along. The new president passed a large amount of it only this year! One of them is US beef, so they're making all this propaganda against it. Plus, alot of people lost their jobs when the FTAs were signed. They will of course fight for their jobs.

  • Such a big-mouthed nation.

  • Okay, if you do not like that word just because you love working crazily for your bosses, you can say that it was a story between the Noth-commies and the South-non-commies. Both of them are extremists who are making comedies to serve the world.

  • atmwalking- when the US beef is finally available to Koreans, they will swarm all over stores to buy it. You'll see.
