(Hyun-Ki) Check this out! [file attachment: horangi_sajin.jpg]  (Chul) Where did you get this? (Hyun-Ki) This is a photo of Writ O’Thyme’s maternal grandparents.  He was here during the war 1950-53. This horangi was hunting her in the mountains bordering China. He killed it to saved her life. (Chul) WOW! It is thought the last southern Hanguk horangi was killed in Gwangju province by the Japanese occupation in 1921.

He said things like: “Only the mean girls are genuinely the most ugly things on Earth!”, “Why are sasaengs so brainless! Unthinking drones that swarm like flies and clog the drain like poop?”, “They can’t tell the difference between a ______ and a _______!”, and “South Korea needs to get rid of  _____, they are a menace.” THAT IS SO HIM!  Hyun-Ki smiled as she laughed on
