Do I have any followers that speak Korean? Could you chime in on this Pull Request?

Edit: if you are a westerner who took a semester of Korean once, you're probably not qualified to help. This is a question for Korean DokuWiki users.
Status in the half-lotus seat, red pine wood (common on the #Korean peninsula), Koryu-ji, #Japan. It is said that the powerful Hata Kawakatsu family received a #Buddha statue from #Korea and presented it to Prince Shotoku, who founded Koryu-ji. A #Buddha statue in the style of the Southern Dynasty. It is called the "Poet of the East" because it is reminiscent of a sculpture by Rodin.

This is a really interesting but tragic story. I learned things that I had no idea about. I remember the "moonies" being a big thing in the USA in the 70's and early 80's. I was approached by one when walking around by myself in San Francisco back then. The volunteer woman invited me to dinner without disclosing her affiliation, but the sign at the address clearly displayed "Unification Church."

My kid's elementary class created the school's award-winning pumpkin this year, decorating it to look like Derpy and Sussie from K-Pop Demon Hunters. It's kind of amazing what they did on their own

Big ask: it looks like I’m going to be in #Seoul for a few weeks in November, and I’d really love to give a Lifehouse talk to an appropriately engaged audience while I’m there. The trouble is that all my #Korea contacts are twenty years out of date. So if anyone happens to know a group, venue or bookstore that might be interested in having me speak, please do let me know ASAP, and I’ll reach out to them – many, many thanks.

Nothing says you're a sovereign republic like presenting a golden crown and its highest honor to the Emperor. A truly stable and dignified geopolitical tribute, perfectly normal for an independent state that's totally not a vassal to do.

I always get overwhelmed by the sheer number of cafes in #Seoul. It feels like, to me, that there are 5-10X as many cafes here compared to a similar neighborhood in #Tokyo or #Osaka
It's so hard to tell which ones are good for #coffee and which ones aren't - most are mediocre but some are amazing.
In #Japan I've got this skill down - identifying good vs mediocre just from appearance, but in #Korea I'm lost.
