Via Extra Korea, Yonsei University’s Kim Dong-gil is not satisfied with ONE leftist ex-president’s suicide: he won’t be satisfied until they’ve both jumped off a cliff. He had made comments that Ex-President Roh should kill himself just days before the man actually did.
Because of the failure of the sunshine policy, Mr. Kim thinks Kim Dae-Jung should follow Roh Moo-hyun’s example and “to throw himself off from the nearest cliff”
He’s taken a lot of heat for his crass comments: his website was shut down.
I can’t wait until political discourse and commentary in Korea resembles something other than “livin’ in a powder keg and giving off sparks,” to quote the Bonnie Tyler song. And like that song, until then, if things remain so overblown, they’ll always be ripe for mockery: yeah, folks…. like the song (watch till the end. The last minute’s the best).

This Mr. Kim is a definite jerk ass.
