Does South Korean Rapper PSY Hate America?

66. I came to Korea at the beginning of 2004 and have been here since

So I wasn't here when the incident with the schoolgirls getting killed happened. I do know there was a lot of anti-American sentiment from the people and the Korean Government. Roh Moo hyun was elected at the end of 2002 on a anti-American platform.

There were also massive protests against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as the human rights violations in the Iraqi prisons. The first year I was here I was in one of the larger cities near the southern tip of the peninsula and I remember two things. One a shit load of riot police watching protesters (seriously never fuck with the riot police in South Korea they mean business) and second a group had set up booth with pictures of the torture in the Iraqi prisons. It was not a good time to be an American here in Korea.

Fortunately things have changed, but the anti-American sentiment comes and goes. The protests over the beef were actually pretty ridiculous. You still can't find US beef here much even though it can be sold. No one wants to carry it for fear of reprisal, which of course keeps the price of Korean and Australian beef high.
