Anyway, I cited this post on <A HREF="http://kushibo.blogspot.com/2009/04/gotcha-media-takes-on-planned.html" REL="nofollow">a new post</A> I am writing some four years later. <br /><br />And it's too bad the migukin.com link is dead (well, the whole blog is defunct).

I googl...Thanks for the kind words (and the link). I googled around when it first happened and found lots of photos on Daum, including that one you mentioned that was taken by someone who recognized her (apparently the next day). Even though the Joongang Ilbo article which broke the story in English left out the more ominous aspects of the story, <A HREF="http://wagle.planet.daum.net/pcp/puzzle/photo/Read.do?dataseq=200395" REL="nofollow">that photo</A> alone was enough to make me realize something darker was going on (which I mentioned in my <A HREF="http://populargusts.blogspot.com/2005/06/internet-witchhunts-and-conflict.html" REL="nofollow">first</A> DSG post). <BR/><BR/>What I find interesting is that it was DSG that finally brought about recognition of the (at this point) distinctly Korean problem of, ahem, 'cyber terror' in the Korean media - at the same time that your post caused it to become a part of a discourse on surveillance and the dark side of technology in the US. <BR/><BR/>It's a bit of a chicken and egg argument when you ask where the 'event' originated - was it the reaction of the angry mob to the posted picture, or the actions of the person who took the picture (whose reaction to the actual incident was considered a justified and culturally sanctioned response (atleast among certain segments of Korean netizens)). In the end, the entire debacle consisted of reactions to reactions to reactions, to the point that the Korean media's reaction to the Washington Post article is so far removed from the original event that it elicits amazement when you consider how trivial the original event really was.matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10296009437690229938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12946845.post-1121237451304360502005-07-13T15:50:00.000+09:002005-07-13T15:50:00.000+09:00Awesome recount of what happened, Matt.Re missing ...Awesome recount of what happened, Matt.<BR/><BR/>Re missing details in my post, they are based on hundreds of comments I've read on Korean newspapers, forums, and hompys. For example, if you examined some of the photos you'll see a couple that was taken on another train by someone who recognized her. That was not mentioned by any of the newspapers I read.<BR/><BR/>-- Don ParkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
