Segye Ilbo: Goh Kun Will Not Run

At a press conference tomorrow, Goh will supposedly make it official.  [Update:  he made it official.]

First, Goh was Korea’s too-short vacation in what seemed a lot like reality.  Later, for exactly 15 minutes, Goh was the Paris Hilton of Korean politics:  arousing to a desperate, lonely few, whose adoration couldn’t quite mask the fact that he was just more of the same talentless, plasticky pap  we’ve seen so many times before.  As with Hilton, a merciful God will allow us to forget all about Goh very soon.  This is not to say that we will.  It’s only to say that in a just world, we’d have never known either of their names  to begin with.
