When people abroad to Korea, people became more like zombie. Why?

Of course, there has so many other reasons. And some of the people didn’t even effect of it.

But this is almost main reason, I believe.

If someone ask to you about things such as artistic things or  people’s reaction (or behaviour) about something, for opinion or what do you think about the thing, you don’t have to think anything. All you have to do is just say ‘weird’.

It doesn’t matter what kind of art form (or cultural thing) you saw. 99 out of 100 of them, you can just say ‘weird’. So if you live long here, you don’t even need any thinking skill.

If you don’t believe me, you can check out Korea’s famous ‘dslr club’ website. And you can see what kind of photos people like and what kind of photos have more people’s reaction than others. You will notice most famous photos are like weird woman (or who pretending like ten-something years old) wearing weird cloths and posing weird pose.

And if you can read and understand Korean, you will get shock because people are saying like that weird cloths and that weird pose are most sexiest cloth and sexiest pose on earth. You will get more weird feeling when you read their comments on the photos.

I didn’t see the photo but one of quite famous (weird) scene expats in Korea have talk about is high-school girl(or possibly middle school girl) wearing very sexy cosplay costume and twenty to fifty something years old photographers (all are man) are trying to take photo of her very competitively in a very weird and pervert-ish way.

If you need more evidence, I will give you one more. You should find any of crowd place where has many Korean couple or family who has three to ten years old daughter or son and try to see what they were doing.

You will see couple are posing very weird pose to taking photos themselves or parents suggest to their kids for posing weird pose-because they learn weird pose from TV or their parents. Not just some place. You can find everywhere, if you look carefully.

This is reason I am trying to avoid them but I am a Korean and living in Korea so I just have to keep saying ‘weird, weird and weird’ or ‘What an weird scene!’

So I don’t need to improve my thinking skill or I don’t even have to something to think about. So I feel like I became more like zombie everyday.

I would (and someone) call it ‘zombinization.’

If you aren’t aware, you could be like one of them.

p.s. I didn’t include photos here because I don’t like put weird photos in my blog. And other reason is that I have plan to write more things about it in my other blog. I will prove with writings and photos. So this story will continue in my other blog.
