Whose side are you on? Is the government truly on our side?

On 19th, 7 university students have protested in front of the Blue House(presidential residence of Korea) for a demand of an official explanation.
Since the president's reckless remark on Dokdo, the people of Korea have lost balance. If the president turns his back, who can we trust on to?
However, courageous university students faced a risk to protest against the doors of the Blue House and ask for a clear explanation.
This protest didn't last long and in return, some of the students got arrested by the police for violating the regulation of protest.
The police were handling protesters quite violently which they do not deserve and also, this phenomenon made people wonder whose side the government is on.
They refused to make any excuses nor explanations.

Seriously, whose side are you on?

What is the truth Mr President?

President Lee Myung Bak is in the middle of crisis for making reckless remarks on Dokdo.
His remarks were clear enough to make Korean people devastated and hurtful.
When the Japanese press Yomiuri officially announced the truth of what Mr President has stated about Dokdo during his visit to Japan, everybody was shocked.
According to Yomiuri, President Lee remarked, "Now is not the right time to discuss about Dokdo. You should wait until we set on an appropriate moment..."
It seemed like the President whom we have given trust turned his back on our territory.
Dokdo is a number one territory that Korea needs to protect from Japan and if President Lee neglects it, people of Korea will also turn their backs from him which might lead to an impeachment.
So far, none of official statement has made from the President and we are still waiting for it.
All the efforts we have made will turn to nothing.

Kim Jang-Hoon, another great donation for Dokdo

Kim Jang-Hoon did it again!

He donated two hundred million won for Dokdo.

It may not seem of a big surprise since he has already done so much for Dokdo, but that amount of money is not a joke. It is not easy to give away so much from a single person even though he may be a big celebrity.

He sure is patriotic and brave and us Koreans, especially the Korean government must learn from him... I hope his efforts pays off real soon.

As we all wish!

Dokdo dance performance in Hollywood

Korea Union Danserz is a dance team from Korea who performed for the opening show of Korean Festival in Hollywood.
They matched their shirts with Dokdo slogan and the performance they showed was a message that Dokdo is Korean territory.
It was a fusion dance performance, mixture of Korean traditional dance and hip-hop.
The members are to perform their dance show and deliver Dokdo's messsage as much as possible through many of their upcoming shows.
It is a great idea and an easy way to understand Dokdo's position. Through many cultural activities and events, I hope many youth who care about Dokdo participate and spread Dokdo's message.
