    This is so cool! I am a fun of the Korean culture myself (even though I am European) – all those colours, and cultural issues so different from what we have in the old Europe!

    As a fan of a few Korean pop bands, I always use Korean translation services to translate some songs and information about them (Internet provides so little translated info from Korean!)

    I was never disappointed!
