Baduk has been insisting that Roh Moohyun has faked his death and in fact it was his body double that was offed.
When it comes to clones and doubles, you ignore Baduk at your own peril.

Pearls of witticism from 'Bo the Blogger: Kushibo's Korea blog... Kushibo-e Kibun... Now with Less kimchi, more nunchi. Random thoughts and commentary (and indiscernibly opaque humor) about selected social, political, economic, and health-related issues of the day affecting "foreans," Koreans, Korea and East Asia, along with the US, especially Hawaii, Orange County and the rest of California, plus anything else that is deemed worthy of discussion. Forza Corea!
So was PD Such'op.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much you were following Marmot's Hole in the latter half of 2005, but Baduk beat PD Such'ŏp by many months.
ReplyDeleteThen again, he thinks Dolly the Sheep is also fake.
Really, this post was rather pointless, though I must admit I was doing it largely for your benefit, KB. :)
I was referring to one of their more notorious reports from last year, actually.
ReplyDeleteKushibo,
ReplyDeleteI am sure this post was intended as a comic relief of sorts, but "baduk" is really not worth your attention.
As for his being "right" about "Hwang": That was not exactly a difficult guess. Besides, even a drunk marksman may hit a target if he fires off enough rounds.

I do agree he's certifiable (and have said so several times).

In fact, I've said something quite similar (that's a funny old thread, dogbert's gratuitous jab at me notwithstanding).
BUT... I do find his wild-eyed fantasies to be entertaining. Moreover, since this is such a crazy world with nine billion individuals, some of the crazy shit can be right sometimes.
Frankly, I want this to be a slam-dunk suicide (meaning I want that to be what really happened, not that that's what I wanted to happen to Roh), and I can think if a whole bunch of reasons why a guard who did nothing wrong might have initially lied, but now this whole thing got real messy, and I would now be considerably less surprised if it turned out foul play was involved somehow (whether it is the M-word or an actual accident or whatever).
