> [@Whiskey\_Dickens](#): > > The name of the network is actually ā€œBest Koreaā€™s Social Networkā€? > > Let me be the first to call bullshit. Iā€™m guessing this is a Korean Onion -type story that has been repeated as fact by western media outlets. It does seem suspicious, especially since ā€œBest Koreaā€ is [a mocking internet meme](http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/best-korea). And Western journalists are overly credulous when it comes to joke stories from Asia, even modern countries like China and Japan. > [@Whiskey\_Dickens](#): > > For your own safety, ignore any requests to stand still at a specific spot in the Sea of Japan! Thatā€™s ģ”°ģ„ ė™ķ•“ (ā€œKorean East Seaā€) to you, capitalist dog! ETA: missed **Monty** ā€™s last post - Wikipedia says SK uses just the ė™ķ•“ part. ---
