"New scarves" - the token of the Korea-US alliance against North Korea


Suk Koo unfolds An email sent to her by a certain American who said in his mail,
"I have become a "fashion trend-setter"! This is surreal! I can't believe it myself! I am about the last person we all know that anyone would ever expect to be thought of as a "fashion trend-setter," but in the circus-like atmosphere of intense left-versus-right struggle here in Korea, that is what I have somehow become, at least according to some new Korean media reports.
As you know from my emails, for the past several months, Korean conservatives forces,
at their large rallies here, have been prominently displaying American flags to show
their friendship for the USA, to support the US-Korean alliance against the North, to
express their opposition to left-wing political leaders who are not pro-US and who
would appease the North and thereby damage relations with the US, and to more
generally annoy local leftists, who become enraged when they see all those US flags.
When I arrived in Seoul, last week, I gave American flag scarves to some of the leading
conservatives and pro-US activists in the country, the very ones who are in the media
all the time and giving speeches to huge rallies of millions of people in the heart of Seoul,
such as the lawyers representing the president in her impeachment trial, leading legislators,
defectors from North Korea, and famous activists from local conservative organizations.
The Korean media have started noticing that these leaders have in recent days all been
wearing such US flag scarves, and they are calling it a new fashion trend among Korean
conservatives, but these media outlets have not yet been able to discover just who the mysterious fellow was who gave these scarves last week to the top conservative leaders."



Our comment:

In Korea there is no such thing as "leftists" and "rightists(Conservatives)". Only "those who are of the Trojan Horse, the tool of North Korea" vs. "the freedom-loving people of patriotism".
