[LETTERS to the editor]Showing Korea’s charming side
Published: 09 Feb. 2006, 21:54
I am writing to express my enthusiasm for your article on McDonald’s (“Speak softly and carry a Big Mac” Feb. 9). The article was very interesting. Your paper provided the reader with information about a subculture that most of us know nothing about. You also attracted and kept the reader’s emotions by focusing on the elderly and on Mrs. Kim in particular. Another important point: I think you made a few good points for Korea. An article like yours shows readers that there are outposts of warmth and humanity in what most of us regard as a pretty cold-blooded society, beneath the charm that is always turned on for foreigners.
You might consider writing a series on such subcultures; there must be many of them. Such a series of articles would show the human side of this society and also provide readers with interesting insights into the various worlds that make up this fascinating nation.
