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?

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
