“Ask a Korean”

This forum is operated by a Korean American lawyer who answers pretty much any question about Korea and its culture. “The Korean”, as he calls himself, does not claim that he is an expert in this field; he simply offers his take on the culture, and explains societal components that non-Koreans would find difficult to understand. If he feels that he cannot give a thorough answer, he turns the question to his readers.
Today a lot of people expressed their concerns over cultural critique for the group project, and I thought it could be beneficial for us to look at this website since it is somewhat along the line of what the topic suggests.
Some of the articles that I find particularly interesting are:
How do I pick a Korean among Asians just by looking at them?
Why is StarCraft so popular in Korea?
Why do Koreans hate Japanese?
How to be a Constructive Critic of Korea
If you ask me, I thought that a lot of the stuff he posted were bang-on.
