Rhie Won-bok (b 1946) is a contemporary Korean cartoonist. He writes pedantic books about the politics and culture of countries. He is also an asshole.
Nice cover, you hapless dick.
The following photos were taken from my English copy of…whatever this bullshit book is called. The following is, at best, misinformed, at worst, bigoted. I’ve selected the atrocities that can be contained and explained in one or two frames.
If one loses his job, no one in American society, including parents and siblings, can really help out.
It's rarely safe for anyone to take a walk after sunset in a major U.S city.
Panel 1: In America, you should never put your hand inside your pocket when asked by a police officer to present ID Panel 2: because he might think you're reaching for a gun!
One of the most common phrases in America is... Woman: I will sue you!
Panel 1: A basic principle of American society where everyone puts up a protective shield Panel 2: is that 'distrust' is a fundamental premise. Left Man: I can't trust you. Right man: How am I supposed to know who you are and what you are.
It's difficult though for people to trust each other in this multi-racial society where all sorts of people live.
Even though it heavily advertises the 'harmful' cigarettes overseas
The author is obviously an enraged smoker. He spent several pages of this book complaining about not being able to smoke in offices and at restaurants in America. Ahem, I’ve been known to indulge as well, but my proclivities don’t make me ironically consider the effects of cigarettes on my health. Shoot – why elaborate? It’s obviously ridiculous.
Panel 1: Even though American society tends to be very conservative and strict on free sex, Panel 2: the frightening AIDs disease rages throughout society due to the unhealthy sex habits of many young Americans.
Panel 1: Whether true or not, it's commonly said that only a small percentage of Americans hold passports. Panel 2: People who make this assertion are probably suggesting that America is not very open and global, at least not as much as it's held out to be.
Whether true or not, a writer should use a fact checker. People who make this assertion hold author’s accountable for what they write.
Panel 1: Understandably, other racial groups found the close-mindedness of Koreans to be very offensive. Panel 2: Left Man: Koreans are diligent and tough, Right Man: and whatever business they do, they are almost as successful as Jews.
This is just a sampling of some of the gut busting, jaw dropping, outrageous crap this guy espouses. You’re a dick, Mister.
I researched (cough googled cough) him and found out that a couple of years back he generated a righteous shit storm for including in this series conspiracy theories about Jews in the United States. He has since apologized to the KOREAN AMERICAN community for endangering their relationship with the all-powerful Jews and deleted those sections. If you’re thinking that I don’t have excerpts from this, you’re right. But this guy does.
You look so sweet. But guy, really, you suck.
[...] is also much loved as a popular comic book.” That is the series from which I took these photos and which contained a large and now retracted section containing conspiracy theories about Jewish [...]
Is this guy taken seriously in Korea?!
was this book at your school? if it is, then im guessing he is.
The thing about Americans not traveling abroad is kind of true. I came to a similar conclusion based only on the people i interact with, I thought it only applied to this area of the country(Georgia), but it doesnt. I read the article below yesterday and couldnt believe the statistics. Only 30% of Americans have passports, the article goes more in depth.

He seems to be taken seriously. This book wasn’t at my school. I bought it at the giant bookstore Bundi and Luni’s. . According to this website called Korean Book Publishing project (or something close to that) his series about foreign cultures (these pictures are taken from volume 10) have sold 13 million copies in Korea. Currently he’s a professor at Duksung Women’s University.
Thanks for the article. All of the reasons I assumed we travel abroad less were confirmed, though I am surprised at how low our percentage of passport holders is compared to some of our peers.
My point, I suppose, in pointing out that particular cartoon was that by saying “Whether true or not, it is often said that…”, Rhie allows himself to make unfounded assertions, though there is evidence to back it up. But why not just use the god damn figures? Of course he comes to the wrong conclusions. Wrong conclusions seem inevitable with this guy.
You’re a dumb bitch, but at least you’re not a Jewess. Everything he wrote is true, and your post has prompted me to buy his book even though I don’t speak Korean. I should thank you for that but your arrogance is something only an American skank is capable of. The Jews run the west, especially America. If you’re interested in disproving this, let your education begin at zioncrimefactory.com/jew-world-order/
I’m sorry that you have such superannuated notions about the world and how it works. I also have a lot of sympathy for what your anger must do to the people closest to you, as well as what it does to your own mental and physical well-being daily. You’ll never win a thing here; keep your pathetic, abusive language to yourself.
PS
was only $35 on amazon. I heard he toned it down in 2007 after the kikes started complaining. But anyways.. Thanks again.
