Essential Blogs About Korea

The Marmot's Hole is a blog where people come to talk about Korea. It's run by Robert J. Koehler, a magazine editor living in Seoul and a 10-year-resident of Korea. The blog represents a rather poor attempt to mix "hard" news and intellectually enriching discussion of "serious" topics such as Korean history, Korean politics, North Korea, the U.S. troop presence in Korea and regional geopolitics with less-serious fare-Korean tabloid crap, booby pics, "dumb foreigner" stories and the like.
