Korea WHY?
"From 2018, the South Korean government will actively pursue massive immigration to counter the declining working population from 2017. Nearly 5 million immigrants are needed by 2020, 10 million by 2030 and over 17 million by 2060, at which point immigrants will represent over 44% of the total working population."

I didnt knew you elected such people, is there no opposition towards this? I thought our current situation in europe would have served as a warning shot for others who want to make up for a lack of ferility by importing foreigners.
And there I thought countries under pressure (by agressive lurking norks in your case) would be more wary of subversion or hypothehtical causes of instability.

North Korean Animated Show "Squirrel and Hedgehog"
Anyone ever watch this show? It's hilariously blatant propaganda at its worst. The animation quality is terrible in the early episodes which might as well be an entirely separate series due to that and the storyline, so I don't suggest checking it out starting there. I linked the "newest" episode I could find.>It is about the inhabitants of a place called Flower Hill, which is made up of squirrels, hedgehogs, and ducks.

#1 this board was literally only created 4 days ago (don't expect /v/ rate of posting in 4 days, or ever really). People need to realize that growth for almost all image boards here is currently a very slow process. I have been trying to spread the word about the board as much as I can and I maintain threads/make new ones in multiple relevant sections of the site. I do this because I have a love for Korean culture. As Carl Sagan once said (yes, a real quote, not some made up internet quote) "When you're in love, you want to tell the world."
#2 most people don't even know that this board exists, and the same can be said for the vast majority of user created boards. Hotwheels is eventually (if not already) supposed to be working on ways to help people find boards that they would be interested in, so hopefully that happens soon.
#3 despite the very slow pace of posting, /korea/ is doing far better than most user created boards. Crazy, right? Due to the position that /korea / is in (See for yourself here: https://8chan.co/boards.html), which is pretty high up compared to most, the slow rate of posting says far more about 8chan that the board itself, in my opinion. Currently 8chan is very focused on only about 3 boards. If you aren't posting in those 3 boards, you will often be seeing very slow responses. Even /a/ is pretty inactive, though that will possibly and hopefully change when the 2ch integration happens.
So all of that said, I would just like to encourage everyone to help promote 8chan itself so that all boards, including this one, may grow.
Also, here's to hoping we get featured as a board of the week soon.:P I will only leave this stickied for a little while so that it doesn't annoy the very few people that we have here. Thanks for reading.:)

So, what is Tower of God? Let me use Wikipedia as a guide, because the official English description on webtoons.com makes little sense and is in broken English.
>Tower of God is a manhwa style webcomic, or webtoon, written and drawn by Lee Jong-hui (Hangul: 이종휘), also known by the pen-name SIU (Slave. In. Utero). It was created in 2010 as the first story in the Talse Uzer universe. It is edited and released for free by Naver, a popular South Korean search portal. It has been phenomenal in its success, and is translated into Japanese and English by Naver, and additionally to many other languages by way of fan translations.
>The story centers around a boy called Twenty-Fifth Baam, who has spent his life trapped beneath a mysterious tower. Chasing after his only friend, he manages to open a door into the Tower, and must now face challenges at each floor of this mysterious tower as he tries to find his companion.
I decided to start with blocks of 10 episodes because I feel it really isn't that much to read when it comes to manhwa, if it were lower there wouldn't be a whole lot to discuss in the thread, and most importantly I want the barrier of entry to the initial discussion to be low. If people actually participate, I will make a new thread every (?) days for the next block of chapters, depending on the feedback given.
Original Korean: http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=183559&no=1&weekday=mon
Official English Translation: (It has some errors, mostly grammar related) http://www.webtoons.com/viewer?titleNo=95&episodeNo=1
This is very important: Don't talk about anything beyond chapter 10, because you will spoil it for people who are just picking up the series.
P.S. Special thanks to /a/'s hostile community for inspiring me to create this thread with their anti-everything Korean attitude, and essentially telling me to GTFO and come here to /korea/, despite discussions of manhwa being allowed by the volunteers.
Tower of God Season 1 Episodes 1-10 Reading/Rereading
I noticed in the manhwa recommendation thread that some or possibly most people here haven't read what, as an anon in that thread put it, is "essential Koreaboo reading". If you are into manga, or never read any Eastern comics period, and you want to start reading manhwa, there are few series that are as good of a place to start. So I figured, instead of making a thread where everyone is expected to have read all 201 episodes (and counting) before contributing to the discussion, why not start a reading (or rereading for some of us) thread series? It will hopefully help liven things up here too.So, what is Tower of God?

>“In my country we don’t even know the term ‘political prisoners,’ ” Mr. Jang, a 32-year veteran of the North Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in a session with about 40 members of the Council on Foreign Relations. He insisted that the camps in the satellite photographs were “reformatories” and denied that anyone had been forced into labor. “It is a normal prison,” he added.

Esports in Korea
Are esports really as popular in Korea as we in the West are led to believe, or is that just a popular misconception? We read about stadiums being filled in Korea during big tournaments like the recent LoL World Championship, but that also happens here in the US when there are big tournaments, and yet, the average person here doesn't give a crap about esports. Many don't even know that they exist. Is it the same way in Korea?
