Can it get any worse? Not only do we have a Korean MJ representative, but he’ll now be the face of Korea until 2012. Bae Yong Joon was officially appointed by the Ministry of Tourism to help promote tourism in Korea at Lotte Hotel today, as part of the new initiative “2010-2012 Years to Visit Korea.”
The hallyu star was ecstatic for his new job title and promised to deliver. I’m sure that Korea will witness more ajummas visiting the country to show their support for their favorite actor, which I hope will stimulate the domestic economy.
I guess congrats to Bae Yong Joon and I’ll just make sure not to visit Seoul anytime soon. I would never want to compete with those determined ajummas from around the world priaising Yongsama.

hahaha…then don’t visit. he’ll be the ambassador until 2012 if my comprehension in what i read in other news is correct.
Did BYJ dump you, seoulbeats dear?
^ Maybe she just doesn’t want a heshe representing Korea.
why couldn’t it be someone younger?…
you know why?
cause it’s the old people who has money!
especially the ajummas who’ll be flying a
long way to see yongsama…
SAD BUT TRUE…
anyways,whoever thought of appointing BYJ
as Korea’s whatever is pure genius!
SOUTH KOREA!
prepare to be attacked by the universal ajumma assoc.
commonly known as BYJ fans…(>_<)
Well, I guess he’s the right choice. I mean, who ELSE is a better representative to be the “face of Korea”? He’s got thousands of ajummas wrapped around his finger…
My gosh, he could probably even become the president of South Korea.
Oh wait… am I predicting the future?? =o
not sure if you know about this, but since 2002 he has been contributing to the tourism of korea.
rijae00 why not someone younger? because they don’t know anything except crap.
i wish you people will not be deaf and blind to the truth, even your idols have ajummas pictures don’t lie.
His hair is too long now. He needs to cut it so it’s barely touching his shoulders.
He’s still hot.
…and I’m surely not an ajumma!
He just needs a good hair cut. Then everything will be fine. Hahahaha.
WTF!
BYJ is the last hope. the ajummas fly in on groups, packaged tours lasting many more days even weeks! they gotta spend, shop, splurge on yonsama! no amount of boyband teen fans can match that. just pray BYJ never turns in his korean citizenship, or hell freezes over!!
Tsuma , Back off people! leave him and his hair alone. You don’t just change your style ’cause some people don’t like it, right?
BYJ truly deserves to be the ambassador.
Next, he is going to recieve the cultural medal on Sat.
Another feathers to his cap.
Wonderful awards for a truly wonderful man.
God bless you and Korea!!
