#korea proxy service

[muuuumin]

Does anyone know and preferably have experience with trustworthy Korea proxy services?

I did find one that also allows (I think) for me to buy off people secondhand merch if they put it up on that site but the prices are in USD and the service fees are quite large.

Would appreciate the help!

[alukaforyou]

stuff i bought this month, one of them is not like the other..

[protect-namine]

zenmarket accepts gcash? and paymaya? woah I did not expect that. I wonder how many of their customers live in the philippines that they'd think to offer these as payment gateways

[yowzeight]

the time has come for me to show off one of my most prized possessions😌😌🙏

look i'm glad he's an actor and all, but it's a crime that with that singing voice paul mcgann has never recorded an album AT LEAST

[homara8524]

And to continue on from yesterday's story.

As a matter of fact, some of those 42 illustrations are still in my possession.

I really want them to go to the people who want them, and if they are sold to the people who want them for the right amount of money, it will help to pay for the treatment of a government-designated incurable disease.

However, because the original artwork was drawn in a 5.5cm square, it was so small that it did not go to the right person at the comiket.

To tell the truth, the BOOTH site I mail order from has a proxy purchase service, so people from overseas have a chance to purchase my works.

Up to now, I have had people from Indonesia, England, Portugal, Korea, and Turkey buy my products on my behalf.

If you are not able to come to Japan to attend the event, but would like to buy the goods by mail order, please visit the Booth.

How could so much rabid and vulgar Jew-hatred suddenly erupt everywhere? Did someone flick a switch that unleashed millions of haters programmed to disrupt public meetings, graduation ceremonies, legislative sessions, and singing and athletic contests? To block streets, schools and bridges? To smash windows, deface synagogues and kosher or Israeli restaurants, and publish false narratives about Israel and the Palestinians all over the world?

I’ve been asking myself this question ever since Oct. 7. Today, I may have something of an answer.

This worldwide non-stop attack on the world’s Jews did not happen when the U.N. passed its infamous resolution equating Zionism with racism in the 1970s. It did not occur after Palestinian terrorists bombed synagogues, hijacked planes and murdered Israeli athletes at the Olympics. Nor when Arab countries launched attack after attack on Israel, subjecting it to countless wars.

It did not even happen when Palestinian terrorists blew up Israeli civilians on buses and stabbed, car-rammed and shot Israeli civilians to death on Israeli streets. Nor did it happen after Iranian proxies launched rockets at the Jewish state, sent flotillas of armed assassins in the name of “peace” and declared their intention to exterminate the Jews once and for all.

Despite incredible losses, Israel rose triumphantly each time.

Here’s what’s different now:

First, back then, the well-funded and well-organized media and university assault on Israel had not yet indoctrinated three or four generations of Westerners.

Second, on Oct. 7, perhaps for the first time, Israel looked genuinely vulnerable. This rendered both Israelis and Jews everywhere fair game.

It’s as simple as that.

Once the terrible sight of Israeli blood, of charred and/or raped Israeli corpses, was broadcast the world over, the haters knew it was possible to chase the Jews down, to try to destroy us yet again. Who would protect us? The IDF was under the most profound siege on Israel’s northern and southern borders and in its historical heartland in Judea and Samaria.

Diaspora Jewry was seen as safe because Israel was militarily, economically, culturally, scientifically and technologically strong. Israel led the world in counterterrorism and was the only country in the Middle East that protects all religions, not just Judaism.

Israel’s strength meant that left-wing Diaspora Jews who loudly criticized Israel’s every imperfection and failure, and right-wing Diaspora Jews who kept supporting Israel no matter what, were safe because Israel existed. Israelis who excel at dissenting politics and are geniuses at criticizing their government were also kept relatively safe because Israel was and was seen as strong. Without this, we would all be subject to the historically endless pogroms and persecutions that have characterized Jewish existence in both the Muslim and the Christian world.

Things have changed. Israel looks vulnerable and the Jew-haters have been emboldened as a result.

So, if Diaspora Jews and our Christian, Hindu, Sikh and Muslim friends the world over want to help both the Jews and the West to defeat barbarism, they must strengthen the IDF in every way. These precious young men and women are on the front line fighting for civilization. However imperfect Israeli and American leaders and political systems may be, they are far better than those of Iran, China, Russia, Turkey, Afghanistan and North Korea.

Now is the time to act. I am urging you, imploring you, to do so.

Send money to the IDF and Israel’s ambulance and medical services. Volunteer as physicians and physical therapists, nurses, harvesters, fruit pickers and compassionate caregivers. Stand with pro-Israel demonstrators. Attend your local city council meetings, write articles for and letters to newspapers. Sue schools for harassing and chasing Jewish students away. Work to end the poisoned curriculum that has turned students into Jew-hating zombies.

This work may take decades to complete. Begin it today. And whatever you choose to do, never stop.

The fate of the world is in your hands

Hi, do you know where to buy manhwa merch and have it reach Latin America? thanks 🥹💕

Hello! It depends on what version you want (I assume you want the Korean volumes. If you want the English ones, you can buy them on Amazon, but I don't recommend this because fuck Amazon).

You can buy the Korean volumes on many sites. The easiest way is to use Harumio, they ship world-wide and for free to some countries (but I believe that's not the case for Latin America, so it can be expensive depending on where you live). The good thing about using Harumio is that you won't need to hire a proxy service to send the books from Korea to your country, so it's a lot less of a hassle. Alternatively, you can buy them directly on a Korean site (such as KW Store (Carrotoon's official store), Kyobobook, Aladin, or Yes24), but you'll have to hire a proxy service because none of those stores ship internationally.

What I did when I got tired of paying Harumio's shipping fees was to find a local manhwa group who does group orders. They charge a lot less, but you'll have to find a trustworthy one, and it might take longer because they usually ship their orders at the end of the month. You should be able to find them on Instagram!

Another option is to buy them second-hand on Japanese sites. Obviously, most of what you'll find there will be the Japanese volumes, but from time to time people sell Korean, or even the Chinese and German volumes. Mandarake and Mercari are really great, and they sell for very cheap, but you'll have to hire a proxy service (I know Mandarake works with Buyee, and they are very easy to use). I explained how to do this here, but feel free to ask me more questions if you have any!

Lastly, you could wait until the Spanish translation releases in a couple of months and they bring it to Latin America. That would certainly be the cheapest option, but it'll take longer, and also- well, it's in Spanish.... Spanish from Spain...

EDIT: I just realized you asked for merch specifically. I would recommend Mandarake or Mercari for that! Or any of the Korean sites listed above. Harumio also has a bunch of things but they are pretty expensive.

Creo que eso sería todo! Espero que puedas comprarlos sin ninguna dificultad. Y si tienes alguna otra duda, mándame otra pregunta con total confianza <3

hmm.. as per a recent lico team post on twitter, im gonna stop uploading screenshots of new episodes of the webcomic until theyre free 2 view for the public..... but on that note, while i definitely understand their stance on the matter and the legality of it all, i really think its time they (being rotmhs ip holders) need to start making it a little easier for foreign fans to indulge in their work.. the official eng webtoons is lagging a dozen or so chapters behind, paid for episodes are locked behind pay walls mostly inaccessible to foreign fans (or at the very least, a hassle to buy), official merchandise is region locked and only obtainable if u want to even bother with a proxy service, etc etc.. im still unsure why theyre not making more of a push to get rotmhs out there, especially considering its so well known in korea, if they just made it more convenient im sure it would explode further in popularity.. scratches head

longwinded guide for not spending too much on shipping for things purchased from korea

I couldn’t find the post on reddit so here’s a longwinded explanation lol: @felixs-voice-makes-me-wanna

Korean addresses (usually called K addy’s) are sites that let you ship to them and consolidate your package bc shipping is usually very cheap or free within korea and then they optimize your package and make it as affordable to ship as possible in my experience. This is great if you buy from multiple sites or buy things like albums and merch in particular.  Essentially you buy items from sites and have them shipped to the address. They take those packages and when you submit a repack request, they consolidate them into one, more affordable package. Most of these sites will also buy these items for you if you wish and act as a proxy of sorts. They are free to use (you can get a Korean address and ship things to them for free but if you want to ship to you that’s when you would pay or use them to make purchases there are fees)

Some examples:

Orderkorea.kr – 1 year of free storage as well, they offer inclusions only (if you buy an album they will take the pcs out and send them to you to lower the weight of the package). Lowest shipping rates I’ve seen to US so far. How I got my Skzoo set back when they did the restock with the jeju merch and jypshop was gonna charge me almost 200 in shipping (I swear they pocket that money) and orderkorea charged me 60 and it got to me in less than a week.

Korgou – not used by me yet but has good reviews and tutorials made by users on youtube

Paysable – I have used, gives you a year of free storage (you can hold things there without fees up to a year if you want to wait to ship for any reason), not my favorite, they seem slowest to me

Kfriday – never used this one either but I’ve heard great things

Delivered korea – the most commonly used/general favorite from what I’ve seen. I like that they always let me choose which international shipping service I can use (I use DHL bc I can presign for delivery with them but it is always the most expensive)

Another alternative is GOMS or group order managers on Instagram. This experience varies by GOM but I’ve never actually had a bad experience. Just make sure if you use someone it isn’t a new account and they have proofs on their story (posts from other people like reviews stating they got their goods), but the bonus of a gom is that you can find one from your country and split shipping frees on that group order with everyone involved! So for the aniteez plush if the gom purchased one set of plushies and you claimed Seonghwa, your shipping fees would be drastically reduced because it would  be split between you and 7 other people. Downsides are if you collect popular members it can be hard to get spots on group orders (like Wonyoung, Wonbin, Seonghwa, etc). In most circumstances I recommend a GOM over ordering yourself or using a proxy (detailed below) bc you end up paying less if you are collecting for one member. If you collect full group or buy a lot of things a k addy and or proxy is good.

Proxys are people who actually go to events like pop ups and buy for you. They have fees but if you want to be mostly guaranteed something, they are a good alterative, but make sure they have good reviews from people who have used their services as well.

Group order managers = no profit, they are just trying to get a members cards without paying for a full set,  so open the other members’ cards up to other people to lower their costs

Proxys = usually a full or part time job. They do make money off of it from fees.

A lot of pcs and merch can be found from Japanese sellers at much lower prices than us sellers and have similar websites to purchase off yahoo Japan, mercari Japan etc, I’ve used buyee and neokyo for this before but if the item details says “Korean shop purchase”, it’s a fake/replica, be wary of fakes in general

My Last resort is always mercari us or ebay bc it is usually highest priced but sometimes you will find reasonable prices on there, never for things like the aniteez plush though my guess is there will be resellers on those sites listing as over 100 dollars as soon as they ship out :’ )

[the-bjd-community-confess]

Asking all my European girlies: Do you know how to get a doll from Korea w/o having to pay the insane customs? I was thinking a proxy service, but in that case I'd need to be sure they're also willing to undervalue parcels sent, and have a good rep for packing and sending. (B4 anyone starts bickering about my reasons: Having to pay 25-50% on my purchase + a default fee of 20-100 usd (depending on parcel size and price range) the audacity just won't be entertained.)

Every now and then I think about how a game with the plot of Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory could NEVER be made today

I felt like talking about this in light of some recent news in East Asia. TL;DR but Chaos Theory, despite being a game ostensibly inspired by the writings of Tom Clancy, is essentially a political thriller where a rogue American PMC company and Japanese Admiral try to start WWIII, and where China and NORTH KOREA are kind of presented as the good guys in the conflict?! Here's a general plot summary: Japan has just created a new warfare branch, the "Information Self-Defence Force" or ISDF, headed by Admiral Toshiro Otomo. The role of the ISDF is to conduct and intercept electronic warfare, which many in Asia feel is a violation of Japan's post war constitution forbidding them from maintaining a military force capable of striking outside its borders. In response, China and North Korea mobilize a naval blockade in the Yellow Sea to intercept and search all Japanese shipping, so America sends their newest electronics warfare ship, the USS Clarence E. Walsh to the area as a show of force, carrying the NSA's top operative (and player character) Sam Fisher. While on the way, Sam is sent to Peru to rescue kidnapped American computer programmer Bruce Morgenholt, who was part of a two-man United Nations to decipher a cyber warfare weapon called the "Masse Kernels" which were part of a previous game. Sam unfortunately finds Morgenholt dead, and pursues the kidnappers to sea, where he finds they were paid for their services using a Panamanian bank as a proxy. Sam is then sent to Panama, where he finds evidence that the payment was went by the other member of the UN task force, computer programmer Abrahim Zherkezhi (and also steals $50 million in French bearer bonds in the process, best level in the game). Further implicating Zherkezhi is that both New York and Japan are hit with a Masse Kernel attack that shuts off their entire electricity grids,so Sam is sent to his Penthouse in New York to investigate, where he finds out that he has a protection detail from American PMC outfit Displace International, headed by his best friend and former war buddy, Douglas Shetland, who were also supposedly protecting Morgenholt. Reluctantly, Fisher infiltrates the offices of Displace and learns that Zherkezhi was relocated to Hokkaido for his protection, so he is sent there, meeting up with Shetland along the way, and the two watch on the news in the bar that the USS Walsh was just hit and sunk by a North Korean anti-ship missile. North Korean officials, backed by China, claim they did not intentionally fire the missile, and the Secretary of Defence claims that the Walsh's cyber warfare systems were way too advanced to be tracked and hit by a fifty year old Chinese-manufactured missile, but Sam's boss, Irving Lambert, believes that before the attack, the Walsh was hit by a Masse Kernel attack disabling it's defence systems. Fisher is sent to Hokkaido to bring Zherkezhi in for questioning, but as he witnesses a meeting between him and Shetland, the latter reveals his intentions to start a war in Asia before murdering Zherkezhi.

Fisher wants to go after Shetland, but with diplomacy rapidly deteriorating after the sinking of the Walsh, war in Korea seems inevitable, so he is instead sent to the North Korean missile battery that sank the Walsh to find proof of the North Korean claims. Fisher finds evidence of the Masse Kernals being used to force launch the missile, but before the information can be sent, North Korea crosses the DMZ and invades the South.

After a stop in Seoul to gather information from a data routing centre, Fisher learns that Shetland is meeting a third party at a bathhouse in Tokyo, which turns out to be the ISDF, who are revealed to be collaborating with Shetland to start a war. Fisher catches and kills Shetland, and is then sent to the Japanese Ministry of Defence to find out if the Japanese government itself is involved. There, Fisher eavesdrops a meeting between high ranking SDF members and finds out that it was Admiral Otomo acting alone, wishing to use the pretext of a war to restart Japanese Imperialism. The GSDF attempt to apprehend Otomo, but fail, and in retaliation, he uses the Mass Kernels to launch a North Korean missile aimed at Japan, knowing that if it hits, World War III will truly be inevitable.

Fisher stops the attack by destroying the ISDF's servers, and apprehends Otomo as he tries to commit seppuku. Otomo confesses to his actions, North Korea withdraws its forces, Displace and the ISDF are disbanded, and the Chinese Ambassador to the United States wins the noble peace prize for his efforts in trying to mediate peace in Asia. Job finished, game over. So, you can probably see why this would never be made today, right? Anything that even remotely positively portrays China, let alone North Korea in a positive light nowadays would get torn to shreds, not to mention the game makes the taboo of bringing light to how the Japanese government has never really owned up to the crimes they committed during WWII because of Cold War politics, as well as showing how Japan rebuilding its military has created lots of tensions in East Asia.

No other real point to this, I just wish we had more complex stories like this where the stereotypical "good and bad guys" don't automatically fill their roles.

Milley is uttering deluded nonsense.

U.S. Joint Chiefs' Gen. Milley cites Ukrainian counteroffensive 'breakthrough'

Ukraine's soldiers have penetrated the first line of Russian defense in spots along the southern front between the two countries, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley said Friday during a television interview with a Jordanian news outlet. "Specifically on the axes of advance that (Ukrainian forces) are attacking right now, (Ukrainian forces) have attacked through the main defense belt," Milley told Al-Mamlaka Television.

Show me a picture of Ukrainian tanks tackling a dragon's teeth barrier.

You have none? Well, then you haven't even reached the first defense line.

Ukraine has taken Robotyne, a hamlet in ruins that once housed 480 people. It has cost the Ukrainian army at least a full battalion, 500 men and 30 armored vehicles, of its dwindling forces.

The CIA media asset David Ignatius has delivered the latest White House message on Ukraine. It is continuing to push for a fight down to the last Ukrainian:

As Biden administration officials assess Ukraine’s slow progress in this summer’s counteroffensive, they have been candidly discussing with Kyiv what they see as “lessons learned.” The bottom line for the administration is that this war will probably grind into next year — and that the United States and its allies must remain steadfast in helping Ukraine keep pushing forward. I heard this same sentiment across all levels of the U.S. government in recent days. The summer has been frustrating and, in some ways, disappointing for Ukraine and its Western backers. But rather than look for a quick diplomatic exit ramp, most senior U.S. officials appear more convinced than ever of the need to stand fast with Kyiv. The United States, in their view, cannot be seen to abandon its ally.

There is a shimmer of realism breaking through but it is mixed with fantasies about the chances to bog Russia down:

But Ukraine probably won’t deal any decisive blow before year’s end. That means a continuation of this grueling war into 2024 and beyond, and a continuation of the heavy casualties and emotional trauma for both sides. U.S. officials believe strategic patience remains the best weapon against Russian President Vladimir Putin, who still thinks he can outlast Ukraine and the West.

Well, yes, Russia can outlast Ukraine and the West. Just look at the stupid advice the West is giving to Ukraine:

American commanders have long believed that the Ukrainians waste artillery fire in crushing barrages that emulate Soviet tactics. By one U.S. estimate, the Ukrainians have fired about 2 million rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition since the war began, nearly exhausting Western stockpiles. U.S. officials urge Ukraine instead to weight its artillery fires toward the most important targets and use them to advance quickly toward their objectives. Pentagon officials have also urged Ukraine to rely less on drones for battlefield awareness and more on ground reconnaissance forces, which can assess Russian positions better. And they have pressed Kyiv to give junior officers more latitude to exploit opportunities along the sprawling front. On all these points, U.S. officials believe the Ukrainians are responding positively. But the discussion has been prickly in recent weeks.

The above is not sound military advice but an acknowledgement that the West can not produce enough artillery ammunition and drones for Ukraine to proceed:

A recent Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) report estimates that Russia fired 12 million artillery shells in 2022 and estimated the military would discharge seven million in 2023. This could indicate that Soviet-era stockpiles are thinning out. Still, the report notes that Russia is producing 2.5 million shells a year, in addition to munitions imports from North Korea and Iran. In stark contrast, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimated in January that the United States could only produce 93,000 155mm shells a year, all of which go to training exercises. If the military achieves an accelerated production schedule, it will produce 240,000 shells yearly, still less than 10 percent of Russia’s current production. Ukrainian artillery fires 8,000 rounds daily, consuming an entire month of current U.S. munitions production. Even if the Pentagon achieves its stated goal of manufacturing 90,000 shells a month by FY 2025, it still is only half of Russia’s current production level.

That lack of production capability is being covered up by a 'send anything we have, no matter how useful' attitude:

As Biden administration officials assess the likelihood that the war will continue into next year and perhaps beyond, they’re considering several important new augmentations of Western support. There’s growing backing in Washington for providing rocket-launched cluster munitions, for example, which could strike deeper than the artillery-fired versions the United States began supplying last month.

The White House also wants Ukraine to increase its terror attacks on Russian ground:

With Ukrainian forces stymied on the ground, U.S. officials believe that President Volodymyr Zelensky will take the fight increasingly to Russian territory and occupied Crimea. Friday’s reported Ukrainian attacks — with 42 drones launched at Crimea and a missile aimed at Moscow, according to Russian reports — is a foretaste of what’s ahead. The Biden administration’s position is that it doesn’t encourage or enable Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory, but officials do expect more.

They try to play innocent but in reality, as the Economist reports, the targeting of those attacks is done by Western intelligence:

Russia’s extensive air-defence and electronic-warfare capacity means that any Ukrainian attack requires meticulous planning. Ukraine has developed algorithms that appear to work. Operators launch in the early morning (when defenders’ concentration might be lapsing) and use an order of attack designed to keep air defences busy. They gather intelligence (often from Western partners) about radars, electronic warfare and air-defence assets.

Those are diversion attacks, not stuff that will decide the war.

The strategic advantage is clearly on the Russian side:

Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke the Elder, the military architect of German unification and one of history’s most famed soldiers, would instantly grasp the state of affairs in this summer of Ukrainian discontent. After Kiev and its Western backers hyped the prospects for the spring counteroffensive against Russia, the counteroffensive has posted fitful progress to date. Moltke would ascribe the disappointing results to the fact that the Ukrainian military confronts a foe waging the strongest form of warfare. Strategic offense coupled with tactical defense.  Moltke lays out the logic succinctly: “The tactical defense is the stronger [form of war], the strategic offensive the more effective form—and the only one that leads to the goal.” In other words, the contender that seizes or occupies some object or parcel of territory, then defends it tactically, primes itself for strategic and ultimately political success. In colloquial terms: grab something and hold it, and dare your enemy to come and take it back while fighting at a daunting disadvantage. For the German sage, in short, waging offense through defense blazes a path to triumph. Advantage: Russia.

Tactical defense is what Russia has been doing over the last months. It has ground down the attacking Ukrainian forces by all means  available to it. When they are done with it the Russian forces will launch their strategic offensive campaign. They are then likely to rapidly progress through thinned out Ukrainian lines.

No illegal rocket-launched cluster munitions, no F-16, no terror attack on Russia, can prevent that.

The Ukrainians are simply fighting the wrong war, for the wrong cause:

Ivan Katchanovski @I_Katchanovski - 14:49 UTC · Aug 27, 2023 Commander in Chief of Ukrainian Forces & popular Ukrainian writer pose with red & black flag & popular Ukrainian newspaper propagates this. This was flag of far-right OUN & UPA which collaborated with Nazi Germany & was involved in mass murder of Jews, Poles & Ukrainians. This flag was used by far-right Right Sector. Mainstreaming & whitewashing of OUN & UPA symbols, such as their flag & their "Glory to Ukraine & Glory to the Heroes" greeting, continues. https://life.pravda.com.ua/culture/2023/08/27/256152/

That flag, and the mindset behind it, is why Russia will not allow the Ukraine, and the U.S., to win.

Structure of Korean plastic surgery hospitals

The demand for cosmetic surgery in Korea has rapidly increased since the 2000s, and the appearance of the cosmetic surgery market has also undergone rapid commercialization. Once upon a time, the hospital was in the form of a general type where the representative director was the president, but now it is evolving into various forms such as MSO and office hospitals.

First, to explain MSO, it is an abbreviation for Management Service Organization, a company that provides various services related to hospital management such as purchasing, talent management, medical fee billing, and marketing that are unrelated to medical treatment. The outline of the MSO system can be briefly explained as follows: by investing in MSO through capital, medical corporations or medical professionals can strategically collaborate, and the medical institution provides a certain percentage of the revenue or profits related to management support to MSO. Medical professionals who cannot establish one or more medical institutions under medical law can also own various medical institutions or become representatives of MSO to reduce tax standards, but it is also common for non-medical professionals such as marketing specialist companies to become representatives.

The next topic is about "Sajumjang Hospitals," which are medical institutions established by borrowing the name of a medical professional after paying a certain amount of money as a fee. This is a way of avoiding the Medical Law, which states that only medical professionals can establish medical institutions (in fact, there are many Sajumjang hospitals in the form of MSOs).

Some people may wonder why they need to know this when they simply want to undergo plastic surgery in Korea. The reason for explaining this is that the structure of hospitals itself has a significant impact on the direction of profit-seeking. What do you think is the reason why non-medical professionals engage in illegal activities to own a plastic surgery clinic? What do you think is the reason for entrusting hospital management to professional companies while providing a certain percentage of profits to MSOs? In the end, these types of medical institutions can only focus on profit-seeking compared to legitimate medical institutions. It goes without saying that illegal practices such as various proxy surgeries are carried out in order to generate maximum profits during this process.

Of course, it is very natural for each economic entity to pursue profits in a market economy system and it is an expected phenomenon that is encouraged. However, what I want to say is that we should be aware of some malicious medical institutions based on their strong marketing power, which monopolize the market through agenda setting. As an example, I will tell you about the current state of a certain hospital. The owner of a plastic surgery clinic in Gangnam was a female nurse (junior nurse) and counseling center manager, but she ranked in the top 5 of Korea's plastic surgery clinics with aggressive and extensive marketing strategies. The hospital performed dozens of surgeries every day, like a factory, and the female owner accumulated a vast wealth. Various illegal acts were naturally committed during this process, and people were abundant. Eventually, the owner and representative director were investigated, and the hospital closed down, causing patients who received surgery at Korea Plastic Surgery to lose their chance to access their surgical records or postoperative management.

There are countless medical institutions run by business managers like this, and I believe that we should use a simple method to differentiate them that we can actually utilize. Firstly, people who have no relation to medical institutions (men and women in suits aged 50 to 60) often visit these hospitals, and they hold meetings and such inside the hospital, making the atmosphere unprofessional. (Many petit-specialty hospitals that sell cheap event products on apps have this issue). Secondly, there are individuals in the hospital who are not doctors but great people (this is not common nowadays, but it was common before). Recently, most of them have resided in external offices and occasionally visit the hospital. Thirdly, men or women dressed in suits or casual clothes roam the hospital, not wearing nurse uniforms. (This is often the case for marketing company employees)

While business manager-run hospitals are illegal, MSO hospitals cannot be said to be 100% bad. It is a clear advantage for our consumers that consumer prices are falling or the range of consumer choices is widening due to competition among management experts. However, some dishonest medical institutions still exist, and if we understand the basic structure of Korean plastic surgery, we can easily understand the hospital's profit structure and our approach to dealing with it. Therefore, I summarized it first.

Currently, there are not only orthopedic clinics with a typical form of a hospital with a chairman, but also those with different forms such as MSO and administrative office hospitals.

MSO is a type of orthopedic clinic that acquires shares to support hospital management and earns a portion of the profits.

Both types of hospitals are not necessarily bad, but due to the fundamental differences in their characteristics, which stem from their respective ways of thinking, they tend to prioritize profit-seeking more than general medical institutions. Therefore, it is important to be aware of this difference.

MGA anon again here, I love your Bitter Vacance art sm!! Power move for Mrs to release the song during the winter months where most people are burning out bc of the lack of sun :'D

What's your opinion on MGA 10th Anniversary? Happy and also so jealous of South Korean fans 🥹 - I would also sell my left toe to get to the exhibition where they display props and clothes of previous MVs.

Speaking of which, do you know what the perks of the membership are? I'm new to stanning a group to this level so I'm not sure what happens if I do sign up for one

Once again thank you for your MGA Art you're keeping me sane in this drought and the loneliness of being the only mrs. fan 🤣 sorry for the mrs spams

SDLFKG thank u!! the mv is so much fun and drawing fanart for it is just as fun :’) tho as someone who lives in a place where winter is practically nonexistent, i’m jealous of places with even a smidgen of cold weather LOL

i think all the stuff they have planned for their 10th anniversary is cool!! Of course, not being able to participate in majority of it due to not living in japan as an overseas fan is unfortunate (rattles cage), but being as busy as they are, they planned everything with the idea of how much they can entertain fans :’) i also really wanna go to the exhibition and also see the documentary film...😭

(putting under the cut bc once again this got kinda long lsdkfjdksdgh)

And yeah! I think the biggest perks for the fanclub membership, mainly for jp fans since i think it’s still unavailable for overseas unfortunately, is ticket sales for fanclub seats at their lives and fanclub limited merch 🤔 them having a concert in south korea in february tells me that, while it’s unavailable for now, it could very well be implemented in the future if they eventually do more lives overseas (i am hoping very very much that this is the case). As for merch, the site they use for their online store doesn’t accept overseas card as payment, so while you might be able to use a proxy service to purchase their regular merch (i have done this LOL), you wouldn’t be able to purchase fanclub limited merch (such as their birthday goods) even with a proxy because it prompts to connect to your account with the membership. but again, the fact that they opened up their fc to overseas fans tells me that, while it may not be immediate, they might try to make stuff like this more accessible to overseas fans eventually 🤔 (once again, i am hoping very very much that this is the case sdflgkg)

Other than that, there’s video content where they do a variety of stuff every once in a while (they posted a 2023 demme(?) award video on their yt channel for a limited time which shows clips of the different kinds of stuff they post there that fc members voted for their favorite moments), they have a daily gacha where you pull once a day to get a behind the scenes photo of the members n stuff, a moments thing which is kinda like insta story?, and other member news/photos/reports and stuff that they post on their website under the member's menu. And depending on which annual plan you go with, you get bonus items (a membership card?) if you’re willing to pay a lil extra for shipping (the other annual plan and the monthly plan don't come with the bonus items if you don't want to pay the extra for shipping and have no need for them)

I also have never stanned an artist to this extent ever so this is a very new experience to me too LOL also this is available even without a fc membership but if you download the “bubble for japan” app and sub to one or all of the members, the members will send messages n photos n stuff to you like in a regular messaging app (this is also an experience HFSDKGH). I think each member was abt 500yen a month but iirc, fc members get a slightly discounted price

Thank u for enjoying my mrs content tho bc they are definitely the thing that has kept me sane all year so i’m glad there are others that enjoy my fanart of them 🥹 (also as i type this they are coming out with yet another new song on christmas day omg)

WHY IS THE GENOCIDE HAPPENING????

Why has every genocide happened?

Why has every war been fought?

Money. Oil. Gas. Resources. 

Land Acquisition. Settler Expansionism.

Colonialization. Empire building.

War machines.

Gems. Minerals. 

Genocides

•Senegal: Diamonds

•Congo: Cobalt

•Sudan: Gold

•Middle East: Oil & gas - Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen

•Myanmar: Jade

•Etc. Etc.

Wars

•WW II: Consolidation as top world power - Germany, Japan & Russia

•Korean War: Ideological Proxy War - Communism

•Vietnam War: Ideological Proxy War - Communism

•Gulf War: Oil & gas - Iraq

•Iraq War: Oil & gas

•WW III: Oil & gas & Ideological — Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran & Iraq + Russia, China & North Korea

Aerospace Defense, Logistics & Tech War Machines

•Boeing: Bombs, weapons & aircraft

•Northrup Grumman: Bombs & weapons

•Lockheed Martin: Bombs & weapons

•Raytheon: Bombs & weapons

•Maersk: Logistical carrier

•Google: Surveillance tech & drive services

•Apple: Warfare tech

•Samsung: Warfare tech

Money is causing all of this misery, pain, death, torture, heartbreak, starvation, suffering, destitution, despair, hopelessness, violence, rapes, imprisonments, pathogens, airborne diseases, untreated sewage, lack of sanitation, famines, suicides.

Boycott. Divest. Agitate & advocate for sanctions. 

Strike. Walk out of school. Walk out of class.

Dont show up to work. 

Dont spend any money for a day, a week or a month.

Be the glitch that disrupts & short circuits their system.

McDonalds provides free meals to the IOF.

Thats not a happy meal.

Stop buying from Amazon.

Recognize blood money for what it is & do all you can to avoid it in the capitalistic citadel hellscape that every American citizen finds themselves ensconced in.

Resist.

If you can, stop paying your taxes.

If you can, stop working.

Stop funding their imperialism, their genocides, their bloodshed, their Roman shields. We need millions of revolutions to defeat one army of the United Imperialist States of America.

Activate yourself if youre a starseed.

Crystal children, indigo children, star children.

Open your third eye.

Awaken and self actualize.

Induce your ego death.

Self ascend.

Understand your mission.

Understand who the Reptilians are.

Understand the beings that inhabit the center of the planet that control our “free elections” and put global elites into positions of power and influence in entertainment, politics, government & militaries.

Understand we are in a 3D realm.

Understand you originated in a 10D multidimensional multifractal realm.

Understand you are very temporarily manifested as a human being — 75 to 80 years vs an eternity.

Understand you are only temporarily manifested & incarnated as a human being in our current 3D physical material realm.

Your actual original state is your 10D multifractal Crystalline Light Body. 

You are a limitless eternal energetic being.

Remember who you are!

Activate yourself for your mission.

We must raise and elevate humanitys consciousness from 3D to 10D so that our planetary consciousness elevates and the grid that the beings inside the center of the earth placed on our planet millennia ago can finally be removed & we can save the planet. We only have until 2100!
