Also, this random guy obviously was being socially awkward , while tasteless is known for being very comfortable to talk to and communicates well. That is one of the most important things when you meet somebody and especially when your asking them for a job.
I would agree with this sentiment. In person translation requires a certain level of social comfort and confidence. Had he not chocked as he put it, I am sure this story may have went down a different path. Not only did he insult John, he seemed to do it in a very awkward manner. Based on this story, if I was Tasteless, I would have thought it was some sort of practical joke. Granted, I wasn't there and can't really judge.
Respect to the guy that was able to own up to his own mistake and face the consequences. It takes a certain character to do something like that, especially when nobody really knew who he was. He didn't have to post anything in regards to this.

It's quite ironic that the guy messed up so badly while trying to convey his thoughts. I don't think he should have gotten the job even if there was one available, obviously he wouldn't have been able to handle the pressure of translating for an audience anyway...

"Trying hard" stops being as reasonable an explanation when you transition from community volunteer into paid professional.
One thing that amazes me is how all of speeches and mother's interviews for the finals are pre-written and pre-recorded, yet GOM never has subtitles or a pre-written English translation available for said events. Even if you had the UN's translators, it would make more sense to do that stuff before hand.

Cheers.
I always like to see things like that. It's crazy what we can do when we don't really think about it.

weren't the translators reading off a script for the last final?

Hope Tasteless/John post somewhere on this.

A simple misunderstanding between both parties.
Both parties made some unprofessional mistakes.
If they got together now, they would all apologize to each other and be cool. No drama to be had here.

Yea, Tasteless was angry because eventually GOMTV decided that the OP would replace John (Nick's friend).

In all fairness to the guy who wanted Johns job. I would be much more comfortable in Korea with John's cellphone number than some random guy who just might possibly be 5% better in translation.

real mature dude. im being serious. just tell me im mistaken and its the end of it. instead you post a picture of your face. what does that accomplish?

There are mistakes on both sides, it doens't take much sensitivity to realise that maybe a socially awkward guy wouldn't react very well to public criticism, and I'm sure Tasteless wishes he'd never said it now. There's being confident in your job, but then there's also arrogance in not assuming that you have a professional responsibility and that making videos that thousands of people will watch has a certain responsibility attached to it, as the wrong word can be magnified and over-exposed and turn in to hurt.
The real response was for the team to have a laugh about it behind closed doors, as it is simply naive and immature to do something like that. On the other hand it's also incredibely unprofessional to talk about someone critically on air, like a little snarcky remark made in school and the classroom laughs at you. Consciously or not, it's bullying.

I cant believe how many people are backing this guy up. I mean hey, good for you to post an apology, but you seriously fucked up.
I think Tasteless is completely right in telling us what happened, so what if it humiliated the guy: Maybe humility is what he needed to learn. Walking up to somebody like Nick and flapping your gums about how you think you can do a better job then one of his friends. I mean, how did you think that was going to go?

That's my opinion as well.
