Arirang TV English Video FAIL: How OinK Facebook Group Forced Korean Media Giant To Pull Poorly Produced English Video Series

Published: June 12, 2016, 1:09 p.m.

b'OinK - Only in Korea Facebook group creator Travis Hull joins former Arirang employee Daniel Lee & Korea FM\'s Chance Dorland to explain how Daniel\'s Facebook post criticizing the poor English of Arirang TV\'s "Aerial Korea: Ep 13: Busan \\ubd80\\uc0b0" video led to the removal of all "Aerial Korea" videos from the company\'s YouTube channel. The trio then discuss how rather than hiring based on English ability & actual experience in the field, the visa-centric hiring system used by many of South Korea\'s English media companies creates the conditions that allow these & other mistakes to be made over & over again. The original Arirang video is still available on their website at http://www.arirang.co.kr/OtherVideos/Aerial_Korea.asp?F_KEY=3043
