The first meeting between the pope and the president of Korea, Lee Myung Bak has been a cordial one. The president surprised Benedict with a photograph of Cardinal Kim, one of the pontiffs schoolmates. The pope gave the president medals from his pontificate. Myung Bak, who is Protestant, has invited Benedict to South Korea. It would be the third trip a pope makes to that country. During his encounter they exchanged views on the economic crisis, the situation on the Korean peninsula, and cooperation between church and state in the education and social realms. This time, the colorful moment came on behalf of the first lady who was dressed in white, a symbol of peace in Korea, in spite of protocol which normally calls for black as the standard color for these occasions.

Hahahaha, are you so desperate that you have to declare your "superiority" to the world as nobody is giving you credit??? You seem to have forgotten to claim Jesus is Korean origin in the list!

Typical modest Korean below - reputation is usually made by other people, not by self declaration. I can argue on everything declared below, but one example here. WiBro the first wireless broadband? WiFi's origin goes back to 1985 and commercialised in 1999, while WiBro did not exist until Samsung got associated with Intel a few years ago. My Kendo-expert-friend in LA got furious when he found out the Koreans' claim of its origin and showed me the video below. Enjoy. /watch?v=bZ6v65__ewc

@askjiir Germans do look a little scary. I for one was initially scared of him.

@jigsgabas1 Pres. Lee Myung Bak wants the Pope to visit Seoul to bolster his (Pres.Lee) popularity in the Catholic community in Korea? FAIL!
-
the Koreans came to Rome, the first lady should have worn black, only women with the privilège du blanc are allowed to wear white while meeting His Holiness
-
@Kleeeenex1 He sure has that "German" look to him..
-
@tomsega Did you find the hitting the doorknob funny as well...I am glad I wasn't.

For QEII, the British [royalty] are an extremely proper people and good manners and proper conduct are inherent in them.
-
Protocol is there for a reason. Regardless, it was all taken lightly, except of course for those whose job is maintain diplomatic protocol and tradition. God bless the Pope, St. Michael protect him!

the pope looks like the devil himself!

I don't understand if this is genuine ignorance or an obvious intent to respond offensively against the president's wife. If one watch the clip, one can hear the man commentating clearly stating that she wore white as it represents peace in South-Korea. How can you not have heard that?
-
Shes the wife of the Prim minster The second most powerful man in Korea The can wear what ever the !@#$ she wants If you brits have a problems then BRING IT TO KOREA THEY HAVE MISSILES WAITING!!!!!
-

-

-
