Wow, hello Captain Obvious!

Hears an even bigger shocker … as the number of Koreans increases so do the number of crimes committed by Koreans *gasp*

I just want to say that I don’t personally condone going to any websites blocked by the Korean government.  It can get frustrating for anyone researching North Korea.
