    How do they even know what koreans eat? How do they know what Kim eats? Why do they feel the need to make shit up and present it as fact?

    Love the 'shark fin soup' for added racism :kombucha-disgust:

        funny enough "kim" pronounced with a gh mixed with the K, is dried seaweed wrap. alternative name is "nori" in japanese.

        So FYI that restaurant is apparently the byproduct of some weird trade deal DPRK has with Singapore. It serves "American Cuisine" and is run by some sketchy Singaporean business dude. But the food they serve doesn't look terrible.

      How do they even know what koreans eat? How do they know what Kim eats?

      mainstream media used to run stories about how :kim-jong-il: abducted a Japanese chef who had to make him sushi while being held hostage in DPRK for several decades and this r*dditor just assumes that :kim-peace: loves sushi just as much as his dad. The sharkfin soup is most likely just the usual anti-asian racism a reddit brain makes up on the fly, the reports about Kim Yong-Ils sushi hostage only described how fond he was of sea urchin sushi when they got into naming specific dishes that the chef had to prepare.

        I wonder, with so many 'hostages' that the Kim family has kidnapped and forced to make art and food and hang out, how many of those are actually just doing kayfabe to not be labeled as traitors and defectors? Maybe some of them are just sympathetic to Cool Korea and didn't want their family to get harassed at home.
