When I was going to school at Yonsei (in Kolea, 2002), there was this ad on TV showing some cartoon terrorists flying a plane into a building, but then superman comes and throws a copy of the Joong Ang Ilbo (a newspaper) over the cockpit window and saves the day.
My students in Korea sometimes wanted to name themselves “Terrorbomb.”
