Tweet of the Day: Obsessed with White Men?

GIKorea | August 31, 2022

Asian American tankies/ethno-nationalists are a bunch of misogynists who hate feminists more than they hate white supremacy.

They search our tweets (with keywords Asian men), cherry-pick a few to show that we "worship white men". Really? pic.twitter.com/A7Q1mCqqxm

Tweet of the Day: Dustin Hoffman Beer Hall

GIKorea | August 19, 2022

Whenever Dustin Hoffman is trending, it reminds me that there is a “hopu” (a Korean beer hall, after “hof” in German) in Korea called Dustin Hopu-man, which is a delicious pun on his name. (There is no F sound in Korean, so it is typically replaced by a P.) pic.twitter.com/pJLa7IBzex

Tweet of the Day: Phone Ban for U.S. Treasury Secretary Visit

GIKorea | July 20, 2022

US Trsy Sec Janet Yellen met today with South Korean President Yoon Seok-youl in Seoul. The press traveling with Yellen was banned from taking cell-phone photos and our phones had black tape put over their lenses. So I had no choice but to sketch the meeting. pic.twitter.com/hu1t2BsD1d

Korean War Organization Makes Donations to U.S. School Libraries

GIKorea | June 9, 2022

This is a really good idea and a nice gesture by a Korean couple who founded the Korean War Foundation:

In Kaycee, Wyoming, the only school library is named for Corporal Demaret Kirtley, a Korean War veteran born in the small American town.

The library got its name thanks to a $5,000 (6.26 million won) donation by Koo Sung-yeol and Kim Chang-hwa to the school in May 2021.
In 2020, the Korean couple, who have lived in the U.S. for more than 50 years, founded the Korean War Foundation. It has made $5,000 donations to schools in the hometowns of nine American soldiers who died in the Korean War.

Koo and his wife make donations to the schools and deliver nameplates that honor the fallen soldiers.

The couple’s grand notion: to pay respect to the American foot soldiers in the war for Korea’s freedom from all 50 states.

Corporal Kirtley died on Dec. 6, 1950, in the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir on the Gaema Plateau in South Hamgyeong. He was 21 years old. His remains, which were not recovered at the time, were returned to his hometown in June 2019, 69 years after he died.
