This was a random sign that I saw as I was heading back to the HBC. It’s a long winding rant with a cryptic message. Who is the mysterious “The Press?” Is there an underground Fight Club society in Seoul where embittered expats release their angst through their fists and poetry? What does it mean to “choose rice?”

I need answers!

Or a new distraction.
