If I've understood korean age correctly, you simply add a year to your age at the start of every year. Edit: Kinda forgot to add my point, if it would have been korean age, she would turn 23 next year, or she would have turned 22 already this year. | ||

That's correct, but you also start at age one instead of zero. So if you're born very late in the year, your Korean age could be two years more than your age according to the Western system. If you were born on the last day of the year, for example, you'd turn two on your second day of life. East Asian age reckoning on Wikipedia | ||

i will wait for her play to judge her though. Not sure why they felt it necessary to state that she was partly picked for her looks. Sketches me out a little  also, is she staying in the team house? Either way, gl to her. Slayers Fighting! | ||

Yes she was. Jessica publicly announced it! Jessica publicly announced it. Doesn't that mean anything to you? for me personally it's just another reminder that Korea isn't England or American or Germany etc. You need to apply some culteral context to the sitaution as I said earlier Let's not forget Korea is on the other side of the planet, being attractive in Korea is a big deal, seeking beauty isn't looked at as being something shallow or insubstantial. Cultural context is important, I agree, but it is not an excuse. It's hard to argue for cultural relativism in a globalised world and the starcraft scene of wich this is a part goes far beyond Korea. In particular, this picture is not just presented to Koreans but to us as well und is thus not just a part of their culture but of ours as well. I do not see good looks as virtuous because I do not think it is a conscious decision to look good and if Koreans think otherwise (I trust you on this) then I have to disagree because I do not see how these values could exist independently of each other today. Also, I do not have a problem with "schemes" to exercise womens rights publicly. My problem is that this appears to be one while it is actually reinforcing unfair rolemodels.

Wait, you honestly think there are grandmaster girls that aren't getting into teams because they're not pretty enough? | ||

Considering that most of the fanbase is male, an attractive female player is great for viewership. I'm sure she'll gather a good amount of fans, even if her play is lackluster. Ka Yeon made a good move recruiting this player. Can't wait to see how she plays! | ||
