The web is a great space for debate, and sometimes it grows out of nowhere. There’s a lively discussion on Korean Christianity and nationalism going on at Koreanfilm.org right now, prompted by a seemingly innocuous interview with Park Chan-wook in the NY Times. What I like about Darcy’s site is although tempers can get heated sometimes the debate usually is very civilised. Meanwhile there’s an interesting discussion thread, prompted by the visit to Korea of a mixed race Korean-American sportsman, entitled “Gates of the Minjok” on Korean views on racial purity at the Metropolitician’s blog. I haven’t had a chance to absorb either of these discussions yet, so I’m posting these links so I don’t lose them. I’ll be going back to them.
Check out some of the Metropolitician’s podcasts as well. His latest musing on is on Korea and Star Trek - and why it hasn’t taken off there.
