More Koreans Rethink Study in US
description: By Kim Tong-hyung Staff Reporter The senseless tragedy that took the lives of 33 people at Virginia Tech University has some Korean students reconsidering their plans to study at U.S. schools. After the gunman of the worst massacre in U.S. modern history was identified as 23-year-old Korean-born student Cho Seung-hui, who took his own life during the rampage, there has been an apparent fear among Korean students that the anger toward the killer might bend toward those who share the same ethnic background as him. Most U.S. media outlets seem to be downplaying the issue of race in their coverage of the incident, focusing more on the issue of gun control. However, there have been sporadic reports of verbal abuse and threats against Korean and other Asian Americans, according to Korean communities in Virginia and other parts of the U.S. Cheon Do-sang, a 30-year-old office worker in Seoul, has been studying between working hours in the hope of taking a master of business administration (MBA) course at an American university. Now, he is having second thoughts. ``I am thinking about choosing a school in London instead, where I might have an easier time finding a shorter course with cheaper tuition fees,'' said Cheon, who worries that enmity toward Korean students might develop in U.S. schools. ``I have already applied for a number of schools now, including a U.S. school which had originally been at the top of my list. However, should I be accepted to attend that school in September, it will still be a tough decision for me,'' he said, adding that he might look for other options next year. Justified or not, Cheon's concerns seem to be shared by a lot of Koreans preparing to study overseas. An official at a consulting agency in Taechi-dong, southern Seoul, which specializes on helping Korean students find foreign schools, said he has been getting numerous calls from students and parents over the safety of studying in the U.S. The company had recruited 28 middle school studen…

US Denies Worries About Racial Backlash
description: By Jung Sung-ki Staff Reporter Washington has dismissed Seoul's worries about a possible racial backlash in the United States and a crack in their alliance following Monday's shooting rampage at Virginia Tech University, diplomatic sources said yesterday. Senior U.S. government officials held the South Korean government from sending a condolence delegation to the U.S., stressing the incident would not be an issue of racial prejudice, they said. In a meeting with South Korean correspondents in Washington, D.C., a U.S. State Department official reiterated the shooting case was made by a U.S. immigrant from South Korea, not South Korea itself, according to reports. The official said the U.S. government regards any immigrants to the U.S. as its nationals regardless of their ethnics, referring his country as a ``melting pot'' of different peoples, the reports said. William Stanton, deputy chief of the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, told Korean lawmakers on Wednesday that the incident would not affect the two nation's long-standing relations, their aides said. The gunman in the shooting rampage, the worst in U.S. history, was identified as Cho Seung-hui, 23, a South Korean studying at the university. Cho was a permanent resident in the U.S. While many South Koreans have been feared of a racial backlash, U.S. public sentiment was focused on gun control laws, reports said. Put on high alert, the South Korean government has been making efforts to ensure the shooting rampage would not lead to any ethnic confrontation in the United States. About 100,000 South Koreans are residing in the United States for study, making them the largest foreign student group in the U.S. President Roh Moo-hyun expressed deep sorrow three times over the deaths of 32 people in the shooting rampage. ``I and my fellow citizens can only feel shock and a wrenching of our hearts,'' Roh told a news conference after a summit with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi on Wednesday. He expressed his condolences to th…

Sour Memory Disturbs Va. Tech Students
description: By Kang Shin-who Staff Reporter Virginia Tech (VT) students didn't want to think about the massacre incident any more during the press conference with Korean media. Eighteen students and two professors of the school visited Konkuk University on Tuesday where they will attend summer school programs for a month. When it came to the shooting rampage by a South Korean immigrant student, they were firm in not talking about the past, saying none of them personally knew the killer or were at the scene of the crime. ``We do not judge Korea on the actions of one. We really ask that the media respect our grieving process,'' said Adnan Barqawi, 19, who is studying accounting and information system at VT. ``I personally lost two friends during the incident, I think that being on my own and being with my friends is what is going to help me.'' ``Coming to Korea happened because this is a part of my education. We have an increasing participation of the people of this world. My intention is not to stop my education because of adversity. I am here to learn and pursue my education,'' Adnan added. All students were wearing maroon and orange ribbons on their shirts. Asked the meaning of the ribbons, Cheryl Tait, 22, said that they represent the support of VT from all the universities in the United States. ``The ribbons symbolize our hope and all the support for one another,'' she said. Instead, VT members were excited about their new experience in Korea and wanted to talk about the programs they are scheduled to take part in here. ``This study abroad program was planned before the shooting. The students signed up and although they could have cancelled their decision to come, none of them did,'' VT professor Devi Gnyawali said. ``The study abroad program is a joint one with Japan and Korea. To learn about the culture and to tour various Korean companies for example Samsung and Hyundai, we came here.'' Lastly, they confirmed that the brutal incident will not affect Korean people at all. …

Virginia Massacre Shocks Netizens
description: By Bae Ji-sook Staff Reporter The Virginia Tech massacre by a South Korean student shocked the entire nation, including netizens. On Tuesday, netizens posted articles expressing their shock as well as paying condolences to the victims of the tragedy. On portal Web sites, special categories were made to express how sorry they feel for the victims and their survivors. Everyone said that there should never be violence that threaten other people's freedom and lives. After CNN and other reports broke the news that the suspect is Cho Seung-hui, a native Korean living in the United States with a green card, many people were astonished. ``I couldn't believe that someone like me was really involved in this brutal murder,'' a netizen (ID hahaha) said. Other people showed the same response as they said they have begun to feel more responsibility for the case when they found out that a Korean was involved. Others said that the case looked similar to some cases happening in the Korean military where young soldiers try to desert from their barracks out of love or relationship issues. There were also rising concerns over the safety of Koreans living in the U.S. According to some reports, in Centerville, where Cho has lived with his family, American students throwing bread at Korean students were reported. In Los Angeles, some students were threatened by their peers who told them to go back to their own country. ``At the moment many people are concentrating on the issue of private weapons, and there are not many people accusing Koreans. However, I assume there will be some more talking about his ethnicity, and the hatred will pour out,'' another netizen (ID: Menia) said. Some are concerned whether the case would bring a bad image to the country and work as a setback to issues the country is trying to push such as a visa waiver or hosting PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Those who are willing to visit or study in the U.S. are worried over the possibility that getting visas would become …

See How Alike We All Are
description: By Kim Heung-sook ``We will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears and through all our sadness ... We will prevail...'' _ Nikki Giovanni, Virginia Tech Distinguished Professor, poet, activist. Ten days have passed since 33 members of Virginia Tech community died in a shooting spree. Though many journalists have written about the 23-year-old Cho Seung-hui and his victims, I'm adding my two cents as I can't help thinking about him. Human beings are like china made of the same clay and a few other elements. No matter how great or vulgar a person is, the common things he shares with others far outnumbers the differences he has. The similarity, so to speak, is the ocean and the differences, the sea foam. Whether it's God or genes that create them, it is apparent that too much or too little of some ingredients are put into certain men and women. For Jean-Baptiste Grenouille in Patrick Suskind's ``Perfume,'' it is human scent that he is born without and the lack of it turns him into a serial killer obsessed with perfume. For Anna in Leo Tolstoy's ``Anna Karenin,'' her dazzling beauty is the starting point of the tragedy she will live through. People's lives are usually ruled by their excessive or deficient qualities owing to the human tendency to determine who is desirable or not on the basis of the small disparities. Babies are babies, but babbling, smiling ones are loved whereas crying, autistic ones are shunned. Seung-hui seems to have had too much silence from early childhood, a trait reportedly attributable to his father. For senior Cho, his quietness may not have been a serious social hindrance in his youth because such a quality had been regarded as a male virtue in his native Korea until recent years. For the eight-year-old immigrant Seung-hui, however, his reticence must have incurred double trouble as American culture cherishes expression, particularly verbal and articulate. The pressure to talk, let alone the stress of adopting an unfamiliar l…

Thank You, Ambassador Lee
description: CAMBRIDGE, Mass. _ For ethnic Koreans, hearing that the Virginia Tech killer was also a Korean was shocking in an almost physical way. Although I can speak only for myself, I feel a primeval sense of horror that someone connected to me by ethnicity could commit such a foul act against everything we hold sacred and decent in our common humanity. Of course this was an act of a lone, disturbed individual who could have been from any race or ethnicity, but I cannot deny that his being ethnically Korean somehow brands me with a mental Scarlet Letter that is visible only to me but nevertheless seethes painfully against the screen of my self-identity as a Korean. While being an ethnic Korean neither automatically qualifies nor obligates me to speak to this horrible heartbreak any more than any one else, there is a terrible connection here that is inexplicable yet all too easy to feel. Judging by the outpouring of anger, condolences, and grief from Koreans everywhere, I am apparently not alone in feeling a terrible connection to this tragedy. However, I was surprised at the angry resentment that many Koreans, while sympathetic to the victims, feel at this terrible connection forced upon all Koreans by the killer's ethnic identity. This resentment could be felt in the reactions at Ambassador Lee's words at an emotional gathering the day in which the world found out that the killer was a Korean. His use of the word, ``apology,'' elicited a heated public debate. Many felt that, given his position, it was inappropriate. Some felt that he actually put Koreans in danger by somehow painting all of us with collective guilt. Still others felt just angry that he would apologize for something that we Koreans had absolutely nothing to do with. All these criticism are valid. Perhaps Ambassador Lee did go overboard in his choice of words. However, we must consider the context. This was the evening of the day in which we found out that the perpetrator of the worst mass killing in the U.S.…

In Praise of Korean Apologies
description: In Praise of Korean Apologies By Yitzchok Adlerstein Despite initial apprehensions, Korean-Americans were not victimized in reaction to the Virginia Tech massacre. But this tragedy seems to have brought out the best in most Americans. Koreans initially took the news hard. Lee Tae-sik, South Korea's ambassador to the United States, suggested that Koreans in the U.S. fast for 32 days, one day for each victim. President Roh Moo-hyun devoted a press conference to the story; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt compelled to issue a statement. Cardinal Nicolas Cheong Jin-suk said, ``As a South Korean, I can't help feeling apologetic about how a Korean man caused such a shocking incident.'' Many in the United States followed with apologies of their own. Not everyone found this outpouring of apologies so admirable. One Los Angeles talk show host accused Korean-Americans of using the tragedy to stimulate sympathy for their community through a display of exaggerated contrition. He accused them of ``playing the race card.'' Now look who's stereotyping? An online Korean news source offered its own retort. ``It's an overreaction. It's doubtful whether the South Korean reaction will really help anyone.'' Perhaps it's now time to reflect on what it was that disconcerted Korean-Americans in the first place? If it was only fear of reprisals by other Americans, they were remarkably off-base. Their fellow Americans saw no more reason to target Korean-Americans than to go after gun shop operators or college administrators and hold them responsible for the shootings. Equally unfounded were any fears that the horrific crime would somehow impact the special status Korea enjoys in the United States, with more foreign students hailing from Korea than any other country, including China and India. Our country isn't that kind of place. Even more inappropriate were any pangs of guilt, a feeling that often defies understanding. Several times a year I get cold-calls from Germany, with someone on …

Americans Show Understanding Over Koreans' Backlash Worry
description: By Korea Times Reporters Koreans and Americans appear to have different views on the causes of the Virginia shooting spree as the Korean fear of backlash was overcome by an American outpouring of compassion and help. Koreans, especially those living in America, are still fearful that the recent Virginia Tech tragedy would spawn an anti-Korean backlash but Americans in general have extended their hand of support to Koreans, claiming that this incident had nothing to do with race. Rather, they say, it was the case of a deeply troubled young man. Following the tragedy, readers worldwide sent dozens of letters to The Korea Times to express their views on the massacre. ``Not once has anyone blamed this on Korea, Koreans, or the fact that this troubled young man was of Korean heritage,'' American D. Rittner wrote in an e-mail to The Korea Times. ``It is important for Koreans to realize that Americans do not blame Korea or Korean people for the psychotic crimes of Cho Seung-hui, just because he happened to be Korean. What is surprising to Americans, and regrettable, is that some Koreans actually expect Americans to somehow hate Koreans because of this tragedy. Such a mob-justice `backlash' is in reality abhorrent and unthinkable to us.'' Ryan Rafferty of Burke, told The Korea Times from Virginia. He added that on a national level, most Americans view South Korea with admiration, and consider the Korean people to be close partners. He said many American families or their adopted children are of Korean descent, and the personal bonds between Koreans and people of other backgrounds in America are strong. ``Therefore, for these reasons as well, to anticipate any wide-spread enmity developing toward Korean people in the United States is as unlikely as to expect a person to develop hatred toward his own brothers and sisters,'' he said. Currently more than 90,000 Korean students are studying in America, according to the U.S. Embassy. ``The shooting is quite a tragedy, but I find …

Korean Students in US Nervous Over Rumor
description: Korean Students in US Nervous Over Rumor By Kim Yoo-chul Staff Reporter Tensions have risen in Korean communities in Virginia as rumors and allegations of Koreans being attacked spread. Even a U.S. university sent a letter of assurance to international students after police had confirmed the university shooter was a native of South Korea. ``Friends told me some Koreans who were living Richmond, the state capital, were hit and even Korean-owned stores were robbed,'' Choi Min-jin, 27, told The Korea Times in a telephone interview yesterday from Centreville, VA. She said tensions around Centreville were high as this was where Cho Seung-hui, the shooter lived. ``I am so scared to go outside as hostility against Koreans seems high,'' she added. A student in Virginia Tech said Korean students were hesitating to go to the school's cafeteria for fear of possible retaliation. ``They gather in threes or fours when they go out for lunch or buying something. Some of my friends stayed in their dormitory all day long,'' the student, said on condition of anonymity. Indiana University also advised its international students to report inappropriate behavior on the campus or in the community if it happens, a copy of an assurance letter obtained by the Times shows. ``While we believe it is unlikely that you will experience inappropriate behavior on campus or in the community, I am writing to assure you of our continued concern for your well-being and our commitment to provide you with assistance and support during your time at Indiana University,'' Christopher J. Viers, director of the Office of International Services said in an e-mail to the students. ``The Indiana University Police Department (IUPD) will respond promptly to requests for aid in emergency situations, with officers who are courteous and sensitive to cultural and linguistic differences,'' the letter added. Park Seo-kyoung, a senior of the school said the school's security officers handed out emergency contact numbers to…

Cho Family's American Dream Broken in Pieces
description: By Kim Rahn Staff Reporter The family of Cho Seung-hui, the gunman of the Virginia Tech massacre, was a typical immigrant success story of the American dream until a few days ago. Father, 62, and mother, 56, moved to the United States in September 1992 with their daughter and son, and started a laundry business, one of the most common businesses among Korean residents in the U.S. They achieved financial stability and purchased a two-story house worth $400,000 in Centreville. Their children entered prestigious universities - their daughter going to Princeton University and their son to Virginia Tech - a dream come true for the average Korean immigrant. Before heading for the "land of opportunity," the Cho family lived a poor life, renting a room in the basement of a building. According to Cho's grandfather in an interview with local daily Hankyoreh, the family ran a small secondhand bookstore before emigrating to the U.S. According to neighbors, the parents devoted themselves to the success of their children, as most Korean parents do. Some said the parents drove their son to and from the university, about four hours away from where they lived. However, the almost realized American dream was suddenly shattered, with the son committing the deadliest ever shooting rampage. What went wrong? People who knew Cho in Korea, including his grandfather, a teacher at an elementary school Cho attended before heading for the U.S., and the owner of the house where the family lived, said Cho seemed just an ordinary kid who was very quiet. But people around him in the U.S. said with one accord that Cho behaved strangely - talking to nobody, avoiding eye contact, writing morbid scripts and sometimes behaving violently. They say he never got along with anyone - a complete loner. Some experts say Cho's problem in interpersonal relations and depression may have resulted from a young Korean immigrant's hardship in adapting to a whole new world. Many young Koreans who move to the U.S. wit…

Koreans, Americans Differ Over Collective Guilt
description: By Kang Hyun-kyung Staff Reporter The latest Virginia massacre has shown that Koreans and Americans tend to handle cases of violence differently. Many Koreans have shown a collective guilt after the killer was found to be of Korean descent. But many Americans have said Koreans have no reason to feel guilty for the killing. ``I understand why some Koreans are feeling a collective guilt, and I think in some context it makes sense. But Korea is not the United States and what makes sense in Korea sometimes doesn't work the same way in the U.S,'' said Thomas Kim, executive director of the Korea Policy Institute (KPI) and professor of Politics & International Relations at Scripps College. In an e-mail interview, the Korean-American political scientist said, ``No white American in the U.S. felt the need to apologize because a white person _ U.S. military veteran Timothy McVeigh _ killed hundreds in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. Kim also used as an example the two school girls run over by a U.S. tank in 2002, which stirred civic group activists to organize anti-American rallies in Korea. ``When the two girls were run over by a U.S. tank, Americans did not feel any collective guilt. Americans weren't even aware of it,'' he said. He and many other Korean analysts said Americans viewed it as a pure car accident, which angered Koreans at that time. The misunderstanding came out cultural differences between the two countries. The U.S. Embassy in Korea last week categorized the Virginia incident as a domestic issue for which Koreans do not need to feel any guilt. Washington has shown reluctance over Seoul's plan to dispatch a condolence mission to the United States and to have public offices fly their flags at half-mast. President Roh Moo-hyun expressed his deep condolence for the victims and the family members three times to apologize for the fact that the shooter is an ethnic Korean. In its latest edition, Time Magazine reported that South Koreans' collective sense of regr…
