아직도 지방색에 따라 완전히 분리된 남한이 보입니다.
Isn't it a sad thing to watch?
수도권과 전라도 지방에서의 보수파의 패배가 무엇을 의미하는지?
하여간 이번 선거는 12월에 오는 대통령선거와 관련되어
남한 사람들의 정치적 선택을 보여주는군요.

A Phillipine native wins parliament seat in Korea April 12, 2012 5:00pm A Filipina from Davao and naturalized Korean won a seat for proportional representation at the 19th Korean National Assembly following the general elections on Wednesday. Jasmine Lee, 35, is the first Korean parliamentarian from the growing immigrant community sector of Korean society, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said in a news release on Thursday. Jasmine Lee"(Lee) is a candidate of the ruling Saenuri (New Frontier) Party, formerly known as the Grand National Party. Saenuri won 25 out of a total of 54 seats for party list representatives. Ms. Lee was number 15 on the list," the DFA said. The ruling Saenuri party also grabbed the majority votes for the 300 parliamentary seats by winning 152 seats. According to the DFA, Vice President Jejomar Binay said Filipinos in Korea were proud that Lee, a full-blooded Filipino, became a member of the Korean Parliament. "It shows that Korea is prepared to extend the opportunity to become a public servant even to those who were not born here," Binay said. Philippine ambassador to Korea Luis Cruz said Lee "has once again made Filipinos in Korea proud in her latest string of achievements as a naturalized Korean." "She has distinguished herself as an ardent advocate of multiculturalism in Korean society. We hope that she will continue to promote the rights and welfare of the 1.2 million growing immigrant community in Korea," Cruz added. Lee grew up in Davao, and met her future husband Lee Dong-ho in 1994 when she was a college freshman majoring in Biology at the Ateneo de Davao University. She has been known in South Korea as an actress, host, and a social worker. She was the director of the Global Resource Center – a nongovernmental organization serving the foreign wives of Koreans. They were married in April 1995, and subsequently moved to Korea. They have two children. Lee became a Korean citizen in 1998. However, her husband died of a heart attack two years ago while rescuing his daughter who was caught in a whirlpool in a mountain stream in Okcheon-dong, Gangwon province while on a family vacation. Since 2006, Lee has appeared as a panelist on the KBS television program "Love in Asia." Last year, she portrayed the role of the mother of the lead actor in the highly acclaimed Korean movie "Wandeuki" (Punch), which drew 5.3 million viewers. In January 2012, she received the Korea Image Millstone Award given to people who successfully blended into Korean society. Presently, Lee regularly gives lectures about multiculturalism in Korea for teachers and student leaders. She is the secretary-general of Waterdrop, a charity formed by foreign spouses of Koreans. - with Rouchelle Dinglasan/VVP/HS, GMA News

Dear Webmaster,
Thank you very much for providing the most timely enlightening news.
It helped me a lot to understand the Korean parliamentary and presidential election.

Dr. Moon, You are welcome.
With my limited knowledge in Korean politics, I tried to show what had been going on over there.
Many of us are in constant confusions about Korean politics.
Even the 한누리 당 is a brand-new name. It was formerly 한나라당 and so on....

A philipino's advance to a seat in the national assemby tells us something
that we never dreamed about during our times in Korea.
Soon, we may get another seat or two for the Chinese Korean group?
Then... another seat for Caucasian Americans ??

North Korean's theatrical stupidity of launching a missile could have helped
for the 보수파 winning over the 좌파 세력. ㅎ, ㅎ, ㅎ.
Threatening or bluffing doesn't always bring the the desired effect.

South Korea seems to be rapidly turning into a different nation
from the land we used to remember as our father-land.
All I can say is that we should be smart enough to realize, accept, or tolerate the changes.
That will save a lot of frustrations and anxieties from our hearts.

1. Please, look at the number of foreigners living in Korea - 1.2 million.
    Why? Some part of the world thinks Korea Today is their Dream Land.
    But what about those Leftists - eating well, dressed well - in Korea?

2. 1% vs 99%? Where's the rationale come from? Isn't it all Relative?
     Let's think of our past when our GDP was mere $76- one of the
     Poorest among the Poorests in the world.

3. How come there are so many SNU graduates who are Leftists
    that are Acting against Our Motherland, instead of Devoting
    Themselves for the Country? We all are beneficiaries from ROK.

    We paid only 1/2 of the tuition compared with other university
    graduates did.

   What an Irony this is!

우리나라 투표 연령이 낮아져서 좌익에서부터 국가를 지키기가 점점 힘들어지고 있습니다.
19세부터 투표할 수 있는데, 그 나이에 세상 물정을 아무것도 모르고 오직 학교에서 
전교조 빨갱이 선생들에게 세뇌 당하고, 반항심이 많을 때이니, 문제입니다.
대학에서도 튀어 보려는 교수들과 학교 내의 분위기 때문에 좌익에 휩쓸리기 쉽고...
좌익 정당에서는 인간의 배아픈 심리를 자극하여 표로 연결시키려 하고..
