I knew this would be an interesting topic!

Taichan, it is good to get everyone's opinion. Please don't hold back.

My goal when building the gallery was to create the largest FREE Korea-related gallery in the world. Adding the female stars just kind of happened. There are a lot of fans out there that truly love Hyori Lee and other Korean singers and actresses. Korea pop culture is exploding throughout Asia quickly placing Korea as the Asia "Hollywood" in my opinion. Korean stars are in huge demand in Japan and other Asian countries as much as American stars are. Additionally, Koreans now have large populations outside Korea. For example, there is a huge chunk of Koreans in Hawaii and I think they make up the third or fourth largest communities on Oahu.

Now, what I am considering doing is separating the Beautiful Women gallery from the rest and make it either password protected or only verified members may enter. Meaning they have verified their age.

Everone's opinion counts! I cannot build this forum alone. I need great ideas and even more criticism from the members. People like Joe and Eddie have already had a huge impact on this forum. I remember when Eddie made some suggestions on the forums and I made many of the changes that day.

When I re-open the gallery for uploads, I will make it unmoderated. Meaning any member can upload an image. BUT, if any image is in poor taste they will be warned and their image will be deleted.

This post is a fine example of how a member can change this forum. Shsong21 suggested this and now I am making the change.

Mike

Hi ! Taichan !
Are you a child ? Really ?
this forum is space for an adult. Ok ?
Don't worry !
anybody will never upload such as nude or pornographic pictures !
We have to advance ! Do you know it ?
We have to repair an illogical system. This is a just right ! Ok ?
Good luck to you !

uh-oh...I foresee much misunderstanding....

Taichan, try not to take his comments offensively. shsong21 is trying to talk to you in a "cute" sort of talk (in the Korean way). Literally translated into English, it just came out a bit funny.

Mr. 송, 그런 (나뿐) 뜻으 로 얘기 한건 아닌거같아요; 너무 꼬마한 테혼내지마세요. 한국인 족으로 나뿐 얘기 아니라...여성 들 위한 말이었어요 (지가 여자 니까)...아시죠?

I was going to pull the post, but was too late. Yes, Taichan , please hold your thoughts until we clear up Misunderstandings. Please don't be offended- Yet.
Shsong clearly didn't understand that you were standing up for the honor of the Korean women!

Nor did he understand that some people MAY upload pictures that we will have to delete. I'll let Eddie run with the ball, as his Korean is better than mine.
In the meantime, I have sent an email to Shsong21 explaining his "bad".

All hang loose until we get him educated.

YES, You're right !.
We are called it "The Korean Wave" - in Korean, "Hallyu" (한류).

Hi ! Joe !
That's not bad it !
You look as not understanding a young generation.
[My goal when building the gallery was to create the largest FREE Korea-related gallery in the world.]
I will help Mike. because that's spread Korean culture in the world.
You seem don't know this point.
Mike's think is very down-to-earth and very practical. I see no objection to Mike's idea.

Ok ! I see ! eddie .
I'm sorry !
내가 헐리우드영화를 너무 많이 본것 같애요 !

Taichan !
My (sincere) apologies about my bad expression.
I look like mistake analysis about your writing. I'm very sorry.
I hope to talk with you about it in this fourms.
