History: Korea's tallest tower at one point at its economic peak to show the world that Korean engineers can build skyscrapers, and to flip the bird at the Japs' Sunshine 60 tower for becoming the tallest building outside of North America.
Commendable and totally not petty behavior.
Then they clad it gold.
So it shines as a beacon on the Han River at sunrise. Not bad. Its cute. Its iconic.
But for 20 minutes FRICK YOU
Anyways, visit Seoul Sky instead. Its South Korea's current tallest building and the World's 5th tallest (so far) Has a cute elevator that goes all the way up very fast. You'll see it in the backgrounds of modern Kdrama

Its also RIGHT next to Seoul's Disneyland aka "Lotte World" go on dates there. Pick up chicks there. Hire an escort, have her wear no panties and inexplicably take her to Seoul Sky and see if anyone notices that she is not wearing panties because the floor is super-reflective and clear glass floors so people are always looking down and annoyed at other peoples reflections.
Totally not paid by Seoul's Tourism Board to lure waygooks to breed the women.

@KoreanDramaKing !catholics !asians hol up, do Korean Catholics look forward for an unification between the Koreas, or are they like the rest of the country who are indifferent towards it given how much time has passed since the division?

I'm not even sure Korean Catholics can even show their faces around some Protestant Koreans, who for some reason decided to keep the bloodfeud.
Unification is only for over 40s. Under 40s is "neighbor who cares, I just want jiggling tits and butt and dudes with 8 pack abs dancing for me"

Your comments are always so conflicting for me, I genuinely rejoice in your contributions and insight to Korean/Korean-American culture but you just have to make it coomer. I guess the SK gov/Chaebol exec degenerates/kpop have made it this way. It's easier for me to just dismiss Nips out of hand but I have known and loved my Korean Catholic community members.

I'm the greatest barometer of Korean/Kimchi-Burger culture. No filter and the thickest-skin.
You get my degeneracy up front, and won't have to be shocked that I failed/betrayed you in some way many years after the fact.
Honestly speaking, I'm really mild in my degeneracy. I don't even watch kpop music videos. If the music doesn't bop then no matter how much jiggling titty and butt there is I wont care.

I love you and only want what's best for you, @KoreanDramaKing . Did you grow up Prot or Catholic? Your awareness across many comments of us tells me that your parents probably aren't secular. I fell away from faith for many years as most posters here have so I'm not asking simply to judge you, just curious.
FWIW I did actually grow up with a close Korean-Protestant friend. He's married to a nice white gal now and they're expecting their first later this year. His parents emigrated after the war and worked as janitors for decades to give their family a better life. He's a music teacher and his mom makes great food.

I came up Prot. All my burger-cousins married the mayo foids and mayo moids.
It makes me suspicious. I hope I am not also doomed to marry the mayo foid.

I thought most Koreans wanted it to happen in an abstract way but are wary of the massive social shift (imagine reunifying with a shadow US that's had a Stalinist government and education and technology from the 1950s)--regardless, numbers have been falling every year as people see it as more of a lost cause.
But it looks like Christians and as a result Catholics, see it as a necessity and religious imperative for the north to be free.

They only want it because they see millions of r-slurred and malnourished Norks to convert and use as slave labor.

lol cheap landscaping and construction workers
But seriously the North would need a full on Marshall Plan from the south. It's hard to reunify two states that are that unequal economically, it's like begging for social unrest and exploitation

Btw, it Jesus depicted as East-Asian in the Philippines?
Jump in the discussion.

Sometimes, but the depictions run the gamut. I think I might have uploaded pictures of a Nativity set I saw in in Manila on @Miserere_Mei_Deus but I'll find the pics and send them. In actual Churches the Crucifixes and statues are typically Spanish influenced- so we have a special devotion to the Infant Christ, and to the Black Nazarene (black Jesus), but also to more standard Euro depictions. I think but this is speculation, that in the post colonial era we have seen more Asian-y depictions and I have seen some but they're usually in the gift shops of seminaries/Cathedrals rather than the primary focus.

Did you mean East Asian or SE Asian? I've never seen East Asian over here but in my first response my mind autocorrected. The nativity set was Pinoy looking. I'm about to make a post featuring a few pictures from Churches/Church events over here.

Are the Pinoy East-Asian or SE Asian? I'm not familiarized with their phenotype and origin.
Anyways, I meant Pinoy looking Jesus.

SE Asian, it was theorized until fairly recently that they were ethnically Malay in origin but genetic testing has shown they're predominately descendants of ethnic native Taiwanese with Polynesian mixed in and some thousands-tens of thousands of years separating them from the mainland.
A parallel pre-human hominid, Homo luzonensis, was also discovered dating as far back as the Neanderthals so depends on which group/island (there's a bunch of native ethnicities here, I think the Moro are the most famous here for their role in the war with the USA aside from the Tagalogs) you mean. !Pinoypride
