as for lee/yi:
god, some koreans. for one thing, we love to protest: for a while there, every september was riot season. students and young people would gather together, chant about something or the other, and the riot police would gather opposite them. they'd get festive, shake hands, and toss rocks and tear gas.
then everybody would go home happy.
well, to the east, it's right next to a culture which put people on torpedoes and planes and used them as bombs; with people who thought that ripping out their own guts with a blade wasn't fatal enough, so had a second chop off their head just to make sure. not to mention that some of their political leaders think that gang rape is a sign of virility and condoned the mass murder and rape of their neighboring peoples.
nearby, you have darker-skinned people who bathe themselves in flammable liquids, and then light themselves afire to protest something, where some actually still engage in human sacrifice...
a third of the way around around the world, you have similar-skinned people blowing themselves and others up over a small bit of land. south of there, you have even darker-skinned people who use their children as soldiers and cut off the arms and hands, if not other things, of everyone who disagrees with them.
halfway around the world, you have people so focused on the sex lives of their political figures and celebrities, thinking that there is absolutely nothing their country can do wrong, thinking obsessed with eternal youth and keeping slim that they forget to age gracefully or live healthily.
so, drake, i realize you have this crazed love of japanese culture, but don't put down what korean culture because of it.
skorea is first world. 13th largest economy, for one. a good deal of shipbuilding is made there, they have some cars, and a huge consumer electronics industry. samsung's korean, for instance. so's LG.
i say eliminate those damned farm subsidies. sure, america's fields may be the most productive in the world, but that money can be used for other things, like education, or infrastructure, or defence; and leading by example is better than leading by the point of a gun.

then everybody would go home happy.
You guys are all missing the most important question brought up by this article: what the **** is wrong with Koreans? ****, cutting off your fingers when the Japanese PM visits Yasukuni Shrine is crazy enough, but stabbing yourself in the heart over agricultural policies is completely ****ing insane. What kind of culture pumps out morons like this?

It is insane in the developed world, but in the Third World, agroculture is the only way some people can survive. To sacrifice your life so others will live is heroic, whether it's the NYFD or someone protesting deadly policies.
