as a follow up fyi, he lost. the election was past saturday. it was nuts. it was probably the most competitive k-fed election ever. among the 4 candidates, he came last. he might have been the most qualified though. he atleast speaks english.

This kinda stuff happens all the time in Korea. It was the first place where I saw full color billboards of middle aged men in macho, but friendly, posses going for some public office or another.

I'm so tempted to refer to the Korean-Am Federation as K-Fed.

I'm most impressed that the background of the poster matches the wall color so well.

Thanks Sarah & Dood! You both rule. I'm still wondering why he's stuck to the side of an apartment building -- but heck, he probably owns the apartment building.

The red writing reads something like, "If we stick together, out future is hope." (Somehow I butchered that lame line.) And from big black writings I can make out, I guess he's running to be a prez for Korean-American Federation of LA? http://www.koreanfed.org/ I'm not sure. I thought he was some pastor for a church.

Hi, he's not my dad, but my friend (who's a fluent Korean speaker) told me that this guy's running for the President of the Korean American Federation of Los Angeles, and his slogan is: "If we come together, hope is our future." Not quite "Imma hit you with an uppercut." Haha.
