[1st Session 7:30-8:10]

Mina: Omgosh Hyun! I need your advice! My boyfriend popped the question yesterday, and I don't know what to do!

Hyun: He did what?! Well, what did you say?!

Mina: I said that it was out of the question! Was that too harsh?

Hyun: Oh, no! I'm sure you crushed his heart! I got to say though, at least he asked the burning question and got it over with.

Mina: Okay, but back to me! What should I do?!

Hyun: I think he's a nice guy. Go back and say YES to him, no questions asked.

Mina: ...THAT's your advice?!

Hyun: Yeah, off you go~~

Social media - accomplice in murder

Only in his death was singer Lim Yoon-taek able to silence the sadistic online rumors that described him as a shameless attention-seeker faking stomach cancer. But this doesn’t mean that the Internet haters are ready to let go of the 33-year-old vocalist, who is scheduled to be buried today.

Granted, the majority of comments on Facebook and Twitter about Lim, who is leaving behind a wife and a three-month-old daughter, were expressions of mourning and admiration. Still, reactions of anger and hatred were easy to find.

``Finally, he’s dead,’’ read one blog posting.

Another online writer chimed in, saying, ``Of course, cancer patients are supposed to die. Who knows if he killed himself (to hide his lie)?’’

“Maybe the anonymous comments coming from behind the computers and smartphones are the true indicators of where we are in terms of our Internet culture,” said Kim Hyun-min, a 27-year-old businessman.

It’s debatable whether the thousands of immature and horrific comments should be seen as a reflection of society’s mental health. It’s easy to call Internet users anonymous, but the uncomfortable truth is that these are real people who could very much share the subway to work.

Lim’s cancer has been a target of some people ever since he revealed his illness during the band’s victorious run on “Superstar K3” two years ago.

They accused the band of fabricating Lim’s condition to help them win the reality singing contest. Lim’s doctor Ra Seon-young at Yonsei University corroborated the diagnosis, saying “He is doing really well probably because of his positive mindset,” but it didn’t stop such verbal attacks.

Daniel Seon Woong Lee, better known as Tablo and front man of rap group Epik High, had to fight against groundless accusations for years that he failed to earn his degree from Stanford University.

Former MBC anchorwoman Song Ji-seon was also victimized by the Internet users’ bitter remarks following disclosure of her relationship with Doosan baseball player Im Tae-hoon. She leaped to hear death on May 2011.

1. Do you think Koreans’ netiquette is good, normal or even bad?

2. What should we do for a victim of malicious anonymous internet users?

3. Have you ever gotten bad messages or behavior from anonymous on line and off line?

4. Recently noise in neighborhood is making a problem. Have you made or got hurt from neighbors bother and how did you solve it?

5. Back to the life without internet, what can we do to find pleasure of living life with others?
