Quote'Socially Active Celebrities' Now Supporting ROK's Anti-American 'Cause'
Anti-American sentiment ignited by the deaths of two Korean schoolgirls run over by a U.S. armored vehicle in June has finally boiled over to the local entertainment industry.
Following the acquittals of two U.S. soldiers from negligent homicides charges late last month, a growing number of local celebrities have offered their heart-felt sympathy with the victims in public, while expressing their strong resentment over what they see as an unfair ruling by the American military court.
These public figures have composed protest songs against America to pitch in their voice, join public rallies, or have gone as far as calling for revision of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which governs the status of 37,000 American troops stationed here, through official statements.
Even though these pop stars have managed to put in their own two cents' worth, pop vocalist Psy, who has upheld the cause since August through many concerts, is among the most outspoken of them all.

QuoteDuring the opening show for the 2002 m.net Music Video Contest held last weekend, the 25-year-old singer belted out "Killer" with a plastic model of an armored vehicle and smashed the plastic prop onto the floor in the middle of his show. Psy went on to beat it with the microphone stand into pieces, sparking a thunderous roar of agreement and excitement from the audience, mostly teens.
The YouTube video is no joke, either.

If they would like we could leave and let them deal with N. Korea all on their own.... >:(
Something tells me that the S. Koreans who can see the DMZ from their houses are not quite as keen on the idea...

And the ones on that island that was recently shelled.

Pretty shocking. :o What a bloody hypocrite... >:(
And they are still letting him play in front of the President for a Christmas show............ >:(
I could see why they are pissed. The USA is a foreign presence easy
lash out at. People forget stuff quick. The generation that really knew
war is now old and since when have popular entertainers ever been really
aware in any geopolitical sense? People are rarely grateful for any foreign
military hanging around five minutes after the war is over. Let us think of,
oh I don't know, say Boston in the time 1763-1775? I would suggest saving
the outrage for those folks currently actively shooting at you. Wrongly or rightly
a lot of people in the world do not feel they owe the current USA anything.
The generation who helped save their butts is not the one running the current fiasco.
How often have I read in here people stating they do not give a crap what
the rest of the world thinks?
Buncha commie socialist Nancy-boys shouldn't make you mad.
