Harry Truman’s decision to fire Douglas MacArthur at the height of the Korean War in April 1951 shocked the American political system and astonished the world.

Actors, I think, are all the same.

And they like it if you listen carefully to their opinions and accept them.
I was born and raised in the suburbs of Atlanta, which as you can imagine, was not the most diverse place to grow up in as a Korean American.

My father came by himself across the North Korean border when he was seventeen. And hasn’t seen his brothers or sisters or parents since then. And he died some time ago, but never saw any of his relatives. My mother was a refugee in war-torn Korea.

We recognize that there have been acts in the past that are Asian or Korean who tried to go, ‘Hey, I’m a huge star in Korea, I’m a huge star in Asia so you guys need to respect me for being a huge star there.’ But I don’t know. As much as we may be big, we have to be very humble and start from the ground up in the States.
There is no way to know for certain what accounts for North Korean decisionmaking, given how closed a country it is.

In Korean, the word ‘future’ is made up of two parts. The first part means ‘not,’ and the second means ‘to come.’ In that sense, ‘future’ means something that will not come. This is to say the future is now, and our now is us living our future.
Korean audiences are amazing. The fans scream so loud, and that really surprises skaters when they first perform in my shows.
In 1953, after the armistice ending the Korean War, South Korea lay in ruins. President Eisenhower was eager to put an end to hostilities that had left his predecessor deeply unpopular, and the war ended in an uneasy stalemate.

No one shall take a military action on the Korean Peninsula without South Korean consent.

I’ve found that one’s language abilities, especially for Korean kids like me, get frozen at the age you immigrated. So I’ve always associated Korea with being a child and being infantilized through my inability to speak.
I love getting baths and going to the Korean spas and getting pummeled and scrubbed, and its so hot in the sauna you can’t even stand it. I have to do things in a pretty extreme way to calm down. So a Swedish massage is not going to do it! I need to know that they’re in there with their thumbs and moving stuff around.
To honor the legacy of veterans and the democratic principles they fought for, I am glad that I introduced the Korean War Veterans Recognition Act which was enacted in 2009.
Those who like 2PM will be able to understand Korean culture more, and their knowledge may be passed down to their children and grandchildren.
Wow, bad news. Mr. Obama now hates Israel because the Israelis want to build 1,600 apartments in their own capital city, Jerusalem. Russia hates Israel, too. So do the Europeans. So does Ban Ki-moon, a Korean who is secretary-general of the UN.

In the mid 1990s the Korean film industry was really open-minded.
As you may recall, Truman was extremely unpopular when he finally left Washington in 1953, thanks largely to the Korean War. Today, however, he is thought to have been a solidly good president, a ‘Near Great’ even, in the terminology of those surveys of historians they do every now and then.
If the North Korean Communists provoke another war, we must immediately deter it and give them a decisive counterattack at the initial place of aggression.
Even after arriving in South Korea, it’s dangerous. As a North Korean defector, I need to be careful from the spies to protect my relatives inside North Korea.
Here in South Korea, I’m continuing to learn English in order to boost my prospects. When North Korean defectors try to get a job to stabilize their lives, their lack of English is a handicap. It was the same story while I was living in China. It took an enormous amount of time and enthusiasm to learn Chinese.
I want to position myself as a great singer/songwriter in Korea, then jump off that into different markets. South-east Asia, China, Japan – I’ve done nothing even though I speak four languages – English, Korean, Spanish, and a little bit of Mandarin.

Our soldiers fought in the Korean War to push back communism. As a result of their effort and the effort of our allies, South Korea is free today.

Children live in the only successful Marxist state ever created: the family. ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his need’ is the family’s practice as well as its theory. Even with today’s scattershot patterns of marriage and parenting, a family is collectivist to a more than North Korean degree.
I think Korean barbecue is very accessible to Americans because it’s sort of similar to something we know, but with different flavours.

My parents are small business owners, and the Korean community, like a lot of immigrant communities, is very much owner-driven.
I guess the difference between the Korean hip-hop scene and the American hip-hop scene is that in the American hip-hop scene, you know, they have their Jay-Zs. They can become conglomerates through hip-hop. In Korea, it doesn’t happen.
I want to see reunified Korean peninsula, and I believe that the majority of Koreans in both countries want to see Korea become whole again.
If I knew how to operate a DVR, you’d find episodes of ‘The Tavis Smiley Show,’ ‘Democracy Now!’ and lots of stuff from TV Land. What you can find now on my Hulu account are Korean soap operas, ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ and films from the Criterion collection.

I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don’t have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We’re very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.
