The koreans are cool and weird.

IceBorg

Sorry this may not be the right sub-forum and it might not even deserve its own thread for this but lets see how this goes, its about a korean webcomic that I found on a thread in a another forum.

And now you are all like "I can't read a korean comic so what is the point?" well my dear this comic is really cool and it really shows how japanese aren't the only who make weird stuff, but sometimes cool stuff and you don't even need to know a different language for this.

Ok enough talking, its time to show it, scroll down the page slowly to get the full experience.

@Sniper:

I don't get it….

You must open your mind and heart.

Gokuyuske

Saw this webcomic on Reddit earlier. Definitely worth checking out.

MasterKingJC

Pfft. I've seen weirder stuff….

But I still soiled myself.

Prismeru

Just stopped crying in fetal position in the shower. It´s a great use of hipertext. Pretty sweet (well, apart from fucking scarring me for life).

Sniper King

@IceBorg:

OH GOD WHY!!?!! I'm never doing that again!
Don't go down the page slowly!!

Oga Simpson

Aaah, what a delightful and pleasent end to my day. In terms of Koreans being cool and weird, I know it's not a manga or anime but one of my favourite movies is Oldboy. If you haven't seen it, then you should.

AtomicFruit

Fucking hell, it made me jump out of my chair.

'ko

i just wonder what the text means…

Flux

I hate these kind of things.

Isn't it a niche genre called Manhwa?

Robinchen

Damn!! I wanted to go to bed in some minutes…>.< I should read some comments before I click on a link -.-"

WarshipArc

FFFUCK YOU ICEBORG!!!

Hekti

Oh my f*cking god!
I shat my pants !!!

DoctorPhil

I'm all alone in the middle of the night. If i didn't have my cheerfull techno music on i'd have pissed myself.

pyromonki

I've never noped so hard. To make matters even worse.. if I tried to scroll up during an animation it dragged me back down. Was that just my computer? If not.. this is awesome.

Luxor

Oh my god…... I'm gonna turn down my speakers now. WTF WAS THAT?

GJardim

Oh dear, I'm glad I forgot to turn on the speakers. Really awesome.

loneassassin

That was awesome. Some straight up Silent Hill type shit

IceBorg

Hmmm now I wonder if someone would punch their computer because of this.

@loneassassin:

I'm an enthusiastic Silent Hill gamer, but that shit still got me off guard…TWICE!
I literally jumped.
I still love it though. And I think it was better that I wasn't able to read it. Just being thrown in without knowing what the fuck's going on. Still would like a translation though.

And Koreans are cool. Homeboys for life.

Refii

Can't… stop.. rocking...

Pachylad

This is one of those few times I'm grateful for visiting /b/ and beefing up my immunity towards this picture.

LuffyWinner

The movie pics caught me off guard…...

Pookiez

umm, that is all.

Oni_Santoryu

…Did that girl just kill the zombie at the end? I don't know how else explain that last pic.

Sick_Fool

I literally jumped off my chair. NO FUCKING KIDDING, HOLY SHIT.

Damn you Iceborg.

That was really cool btw.

tigerlilly

@Oni_Santoryu:

…Did that girl just kill the zombie at the end? I don't know how else explain that last pic.

Looks like it. But honestly I don't know, maybe she was turned into the same…thing?
I'll just go with the happy ending and say he messed with the wrong independent korean woman.

@Flux:

I hate these kind of things.

Isn't it a niche genre called Manhwa?

Don't know if you're joking, if yes just disregard this. But Manhwa is just Korean for Comic.
So every kind of comic from Korea, of all kinds and genres, is called a Manhwa. It's not a niche genre at all.

It has strong country and culture specific connotations, like the word Manga as in Japanese comic.

captain usopp

i just sent this to my friend who is obsessed with koreans. :ninja:

…....she is going to kill me now.

GJardim

@captain:

i just sent this to my friend who is obsessed with koreans. :ninja:

Now I have to send this to MY friend who is also obsessed with koreans, I hope she'll like it. :ninja:

Pachylad

Now I have to post it on Facebook and wait for my sister to click on it.

captain usopp

lol ya, she said she hates me. and now she posted it on our other friend's page. >:3

Outerspec

Well, I didn't jump but I was startled. I was prepared because I read the comments first.

Yes, I cheated. :devil:

Pachylad

You believ__ed us? :blink:

Luxor

He believed us because we're trustable, right?

Gekko135

Fuck you. Just… fuck you

piratemarimo

I'm okay!! I think my heart has stopped beating, but I'm fine!!

loneassassin

I sent it to a friend I met in my JAPN1 class (who's from South Korea), who showed it to his girlfriend who then flipped the fuck out as he was laughing.

Kylor

Wow, how did you know I didn't ever want to feel safe again? I love shaking uncontrollably and being able to only speak in weird mumbly sounds, thanks for asking!

Got this translation from Reddit for those interested:
2011 Mystery Sketch Bong-Cheon-Dong Ghost
The story is based on true personal accounts.
It was probably around 11:20 at night. I was heading home after long, tiring night-study sessions. But I didn't see anybody around that day, which was weird, since the apartment complex is pretty big and I usually see a lot of people even at night.
Anyways, I was a little scared so I was just walking while looking down on the ground,
when I saw a shadow stretching towards me. Even though there had been no one around just a moment ago.
When I looked up..
I saw a woman walking in front of me. But it just didn't look right.
I could say she looked slightly indisposed.. She was limping pretty bad.
She was walking very slow, and I soon caught up with her. I was able to see her even better up close.
She was wearing dirty pink pajamas.. and it looked like every joint in her body was twisted. Her hair was a mess and sticking out in every direction.
It seemed really weird, so I stopped walking.
I felt like I shouldn't get any closer to her, and I didn't have the guts to pass by her.
[The ghost turns around.]
They say when you're really surprised, you can't even scream. I couldn't move, and just froze there.
"Where's my baby?"
Her question made my thoughts race..
I don't even know why I did it then.. And it still scares me.
I pointed as far as I could and answered.. "O.. over there."
I just wanted her to get away from me.
She limped towards the direction I pointed to..
And I couldn't see her anymore.
I didn't want to risk running into her again, so I tried to turn around quickly and leave the apartment complex.
I couldn't think of anything but to get to some place where there'd be people around.
Then
"She is not there!" [The ghost runs towards you.]
I don't remember anything afterwards. I heard that my neighbor found me passed out on the ground and took me home.
In 2007, at an apartment in Boncheon-Dong, Gwna-Ak-Gu, Seoul, a 33-year-old woman jumped off the apartment and died on the spot. Jo, who was divorced due to her affair, had lost the custody of her daughter and decided to kill herself.
She was seen walking around the apartment complex many times after her suicide. She was barefoot and wore the pajamas she was wearing when she died; every joint in her body was twisted, and she was an awful sight.

Cyclone_Baroness

That was actually disturbing…

! I wasn't expecting to see the animated parts o_o.

Mild heart attack. I'll have to watch this at work lol. I was gonna go to bed but I'll need to stay up a bit now. Had way too many nightmares like that lol.

Pachylad

Does anyone else actually have a problem with the fact that

! The first time round you get the animation/sound effects when scrolling down, but unless you refresh the page it doesn't happen again?

Luxor

@Gokuyuske

I have to refrain from reading that translation, because… I'm about to go to bed. ^_^;
