- Ep.14: Ibailo’s mother-in-law is always frustrated that her son-in-law does everything so slowly. He also can’t understand his in-law’s Busan dialect. Meanwhile, the restaurant owner wants the Hindu Indian chefs to make beef dishes.

KBS World TV

ibailo...has not endeared himself to me and that restaurant owner is kind of unbelievable. how do you go out of your way to recruit indian chefs from india and then look shocked when they play hindu music and refuse to cook beef/kill animals???

Mary Ann Conlin wears a bikini in Seoul to promote body positivity

Article and pictures by Maxine Builder for Bustle

On a Saturday night in Hongdae (the crowded neighborhood of Seoul perhaps best known for its raucous nightlife), English as a Second Language teacher Mary Ann Conlin stripped down to her bikini, placed a blindfold over her eyes, and held two markers in her hands. She stood behind a sign, written in both English and Korean, that asked passersby to draw a heart on her body if they supported self love. Now, this experiment isn't novel: Jae West was the first woman to make this statement about self acceptance in London, England, and soon after, Amy Pence-Brown stripped down in Boise, Idaho. However, it was the first time it was conducted in South Korea, a country with strict standards of beauty, especially when it comes to weight. Having just moved over to Seoul myself, I couldn't miss the chance to attend Conlin's demonstration.

"My experience as a full-bodied woman here in Korea has not been a positive one," Conlin tells me in an interview after the Sept. 19 event. She's lived in Korea for about four years, working as a teacher at different hagwons, or cram schools. "The first work environment that I was a part of, there was a lot of harassment about my weight," she explains. "I would have my manager tell me, 'Oh, you gained weight,' or poke my belly."

What do you think of her experiment? How do you think the responses from onlookers would have differed if she wasn't a white foreigner?

BTS fans, largely known as ARMYs, have expressed their outrage and utter anger towards organizers after they were mistreated due to an oversold concert and more.

The popular Korean boy group recently kick-started their second tour with TGM Events around North America called Highlight, which began in San Francisco, California on September 22nd, followed by Houston, Texas on the 24th, Atlanta, Georgia on the 26th, and finally, Toronto, Canada on the 27th.

What made this tour oddly unique was that no formal tickets were sold for the concert and instead, fans looking to attend the BTS concerts needed to purchase a promotional t-shirt through TicTail as this was a fashion collaboration between Community54 and the boy group.

what the fuck is going on? this whole thing has been a bad from day 1. i feel so ridiculously bad for the fans. especially for those that didn't get to go inside even though they had tickets! they were promised they would get a meet and greet/high touch at the end of the show as a compensation and they didn't get that. they really have been screwed over.

apparently bangtan weren't told either that there were still 100+ fans waiting outside the venue in the rain. it has been said that bangtan are not happy with the situation either. they were getting yelled at by tgm staff for trying to talk to their fans and giving them an enjoyable experience. namjoon also apologized yesterday because they only got to perform 4 songs and they themselves didn't know about that (they were cut short basically). to think that they could have been home spending chuseok with their families but instead they took the time to see their fans and this is how everything goes. MESS tbh.
