세월호 참사- 4th year anniversary of the tragedy. Commemorations all around the nation. Still a lot of unanswered questions. The "Katrina moment" and "Emperor has no clothes" revelation for the former 박근혜 regime. 김경수/민주당 댓글조작 의혹- Ruling party and lawmaker/경남지사 예비후보 김경수 embroiled in allegations there was a concerted effort to sway online opinion through the news portal sites. Minjoo and Kim deny the charges. 드루킹 is the central figure in these allegations. A disgruntled and spurned greedy activist? Opposition is making hay out of all this, calling for a special prosecutor and even questioning the legitimacy of the previous presidential election. Deja vu all over again? 2012 vs today: what’s different? "내로남불" a widely used term by netizens. But something doesn't add up. Why would the ruling party call for an investigation into online manipulation with the 단일팀 if they were in charge of a wide-scale scheme of their own? The anecdotal observations show that suspicious activity definitely coincides with the anti-government trolling that goes on. A full in-depth investigation into all online suspicious activity is needed, especially into Naver's comment system. Nobody's hands are clean, but the idea that the opposition will come out of a completely transparent probe with their reputations in tact is a pipe dream. 조현민- another case of deja vu all over again with memories of elder sister 조현아's "nut rage" incident. This time the projectile of choice for this 재벌 scion was a water bottle. Lots of outrage online. Recording emerges of Cho berating an executive at Korean Air 20 years older than her in very derogatory terms. Offends the sensibilities of this Confucian culture. Unfortunate latest episode in a string of endless 갑질 incidents involving the prince and princesses of Korea's conglomerates. Police investigation ensues. Will her being an American citizen be a snag in the prosecution of this case? Cho is trying to put forth a contrite image. Same playbook as sister Hyun-ah. Will she also get a slap on the wrist? She vowed "revenge" allegedly during the Hyun-ah controversy via text. Perhaps the "revenge" this time around will be directed at her via the Korean public.
