@MarieMyungOkLee (Some foreign students did flout policies in some places, especially Seoul. But that was exaggerated—and Koreans doing the same were ignored—to paint the usual xenophobic picture of irresponsible foreigners. It’s what Korean media literally always does.) @MarieMyungOkLee Also, for the commenter who equated foreigners with “colonizers”: not really. 🙄 Many non-Koreans living here are effectively immigrants, and they face plenty of the same kinds of marginalization and exclusion immigrants face anywhere. (The majority aren’t even Western or white.)
