Blue House Fully Opens to the Public for the First Time

I took a Blue House tour many years ago that was closely monitored by security and I didn’t really get to see much. I definitely need to go back and experience visiting the place without any security restrictions since it is now fully open to the public:

 Cheong Wa Dae was flooded with thousands of visitors Tuesday morning, the first day the former presidential office and residence fully opened to the public after new President Yoon Suk-yeol relocated the top office. 

Following an opening ceremony, more than 6,000 people entered the compound in central Seoul at 11:38 a.m. to look around the 250,000-square-meter space, including the main office building and the residence that were used by South Korean presidents for the past 74 years, as well as gardens and the state guest house of Yeongbingwan.

South Koreans experience more freedom: North Korean sympathizers hardest hit.

LOL! If you want to meddle in internal Korean affairs, at least know what you are talking about, instead of making incoherent and rambling statements as if you are on meth.

If you can’t do that than you should stop this meddling instead of making a big fool out of yourself.

Korean Person, if you want your imaginary conclusion to have power, you have to put “, you racist” at the end.

Yes Setnaffarism™ is alive and well here

Article 2

Should others present facts that do not fit with the world that exists only in the world of Setnaffarism™ fight vigorously against it. For if the others look over the facts and find them to be true, it will show that the world that exists only in in the world of Setnaffarism™ is not true.

If necessary, call those who present the facts, “leftists”, if this helps to discredit them.

Article 5

It does not matter whether the Korean right are inept and corrupt, as long as they support keeping the USFK in Korea, forever.

Give them your full support and look the other way when allegations of incompetence and corruption come against them.

However, when it comes to leftists do your utmost to criticize and discredit them, since they do not support keeping the USFK in Korea forever.

Setnaffa, you had better stop voicing your opinion now or you will wind up giving Jesus a run for his money.

Your thoughts and words are already being codified.

I just hope you will change some water into wine… or cash into 18 year-old single malt.

CH, I don’t know why these fake Koreans wantbto date me; but how do I tell them I love my wife and have no interest in people with such poor mental hygiene?

Theae trolls make the banjo kid in Deliverance look like Einstein…

The sad thing is they, like most leftards, can’t laugh at themselves. And until they learn, they’ll never figure out why they themselves felt compelled to tattoo my name inside their lower lip.

It’s quite an ego boost to be living rent-free with Trump inside thwir low-sloping foreheads.

I wonder if they’re going to buy Ultra-MAGA teeshirts next?

Regarding setnaffa.

As a proud and sensible Korean, I do not like it that he attempts to disparage Koreans who do not agree with his right wing views and his strong belief that Korea and Koreans should agree with and do everything the US(the right wing part that is) tells it to do.

I mean look at him. He thinks all Koreans are docile and will agree with his views. So for those who do not agree with him he labels them as “fake Koreans” or “Chinese.”

I also do not like his overt support of a corrupt right wing government just so he can keep his precious USFK in Korea.

That and the fact although he has little knowledge and understanding of Korea and how it works, he is not willing to learn and instead thinks whatever is in his twisted right wing mind is correct, even if they do not reflect reality. For those who try to teach him, expect much verbal abuse, insults, and troll like behavior.

As such as long as setnaffa keeps up the despicable behavior above, expects the Koreans of the ROK Drop to keep up the attacks against setnaffa and the Church of Setnaffarism™.
