This blog will be updated as usual; some of the stories here will be cross-posted at Iggy, and I’ll write a few extra stuff for the folks there during my stint.

Hope that the short project will benefit both parties and Asian pop culture fans; check out my updates at Iggy.

To be frank, I’m not keen in websites’ awards… so I’m not going to bore you with the poll, especially if you are not familiar with the nominees.

The nominee list provides some good links though, with bunches of Korean related blogs in various topics… might find a few interesting ones if you are keen in Korean stuff.

Thanks for the nomination, although I still find it a bit odd considering the fact that this blog is not dedicated entirely to Korean matters.

The blog war started when Lee mentioned in a radio show that his request to exchange blogroll with Kim was rejected by the 16-year-old figure skating star.

Lee’s fans began sending hate messages on Kim’s blog shortly after, and Kim’s fans retaliate. As of the time of writing, the message board for both SuJu and Kim has been shut down temporarily.

SuJu’s fans are giving themselves a bad name really. Just a month ago, some of the fans posted hatred message to a girl after a picture of her posing with one of Suju’s group members was spread online… the girl was so depressed with all the harassment that she finally committed suicide.

Seems like they haven’t learned a lesson from that.
