At last, we are at the finale of season 4 on Café Seoul. This show is all about gates, but not about the kind of gates you're thinking of. No, we're talking about scandals, especially two very recent ones that have severe political and economic ramifications for Korea.
News of the Weird -Reviewing an opinion piece regarding batterygate, Samsung's exploding battery scandal.
Ask Rob & Eugene -Gatey McGateface asks why there's no Bukdaemun, when there's a Namdaemun, Dongdaemun, and there used to be a Seodaemun.
