This document summarizes an article about the online harassment and accusations faced by Daniel Lee, a Korean rapper known as Tablo, who is the frontman for the successful Korean hip hop group Epik High. At the height of Epik High's popularity, anonymous online commenters and a growing anti-fan club accused Lee of lying about graduating from Stanford University. The accusations gained widespread attention in Korea and led to death threats. An investigation later confirmed that Lee had indeed earned his degrees from Stanford. The document explores how the online witch hunt unfolded and the environment in Korea that caused the accusations to seem plausible.

Bridging the gap between classroom and real-world listening
“I've studied English for years, but I can't understand anyone!” This was a common complaint from students I worked with in the UK. Inspired by their problems and the work of John Field and Richard Cauldwell, this workshop aims to introduce you to practical activities and materials you can use to help students transition from understanding scripted listening materials to feeling comfortable with real-world English.

Final Project Annotated Bibliography and Methodology
I. Short Identification:
Korean American artists, including Jay Park and Eric Nam, are very popular in the South
Korean music industry, and seem to have secured fame throughout the globe while promoting as
Korean artists. However, they may not have been able to achieve this fame if they had tried to
debut in the U.S. prior to becoming famous, due to various stereotypes of Asian Americans in
the U.S., and a lack of Asian Americans in the mainstream music industry. This research paper
will try to identify the reasons why Korean Americans have not been able to easily promote in
the mainstream U.S. music scene as Americans, and why South Korea seems to be a hub for
Korean Americans to showcase their musical talents.
II. Annotated Bibliography:
1. Castro, Christi-Anne. "Voices in the Minority: Race, Gender, Sexuality, and the Asian
American in Popular Music." Journal of Popular Music Studies, vol. 19, no. 3, Sept. 2007, pp.
221-238. Accessed 31 Oct. 2017.
Castro gives a slight overview of Asian American stereotypes in the media, particularly gender-
based stereotypes, and then uses the punk music genre, especially through artists Mike Park and
Magdalen Hsu-Li, to show how those stereotypes are just stereotypes, and that Asian Americans
are able to identify these stereotypes as false. Castro does, however, reiterate that what has been
obtained in the punk scene cannot be easily recreated in the mainstream music scene. Castro’s
writing will be useful for me if I need to utilize any type of gender-based argument in my
research, and this leaves me interested to see how I may be able to incorporate effeminate
masculinity trends in Asian American men in my research. However, more importantly, Mike
Park is Korean American, which means I can cross-compare him to the artists I will be analyzing
in my research.
2. “Eric Nam.” YouTube. YouTube, n.d. Web. Accessed 31 Oct. 2017.
I am identifying Eric Nam’s YouTube channel as one of my primary sources, because Eric Nam
will be one of the more prominent Korean American artists that I will focus on in my research
(although it is important to note that his official music videos are featured on his label’s
“CJENMUSIC Official” channel instead.) Eric Nam, a Korean American singer and entertainer
who turned down a stable consulting job in the U.S. in order to try to pursue singing as offered
by a Korean broadcasting agency, is an interesting artist to analyze because he seems to be
branching out into American music by collaborating in songs with both Gallant and Timbaland,
who are American artists, and continuously mentions in interviews across online media that he is
very interested in breaking into the American scene. His songs and image tend to fit Korean
ideals well, in that he appears to be gentle and soft-spoken, but he does enjoy R&B and seems to ...

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Korean Hip Hop Superstar

3. It was Friday night, May 22, 2009, and one of
New York City’s most storied music venues, the
Fillmore at Irving Plaza, was sold out. The line
stretched all the way down Irving Place, turned the
corner onto East 16th, and kept going. People had
come from as far away as Michigan, Toronto, and
Ohio, but they weren’t lined up for the latest indie
darlings or house music sensation. They’d come to
see an improbably successful Korean trio named
Epik High, which as far as anyone could tell was
the first Korean hip hop act to attract a mainstream
American audience.
4. The group was headed by a skinny 28-year-old
named Dan Lee, and when he danced onto the stage
that night the audience started dancing with him.
Lee—whose nom de rap is Tablo—had a puckish
charm, a sly grin, and a reputation as a genius. In
South Korea, Lee was already a superstar. He had
released four number one albums with Epik High
and published a best-selling collection of short
stories in both English and Korean. Talk show hosts
almost always found a way to mention that he
graduated from Stanford in three and a half years
with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in
English. Though that would probably count against a
rapper in the US, back home he was lionized as a
symbol of success.
5. Now the group was building a fan base in the States. In
addition to its New York show, Epik High had sold out
major venues in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The
crossover success was visible on iTunes, where the trio
was soaring up the hip hop charts and would soon hit
number one in the US, topping Kanye West and Jay-Z.
But then, at the height of the group’s fame, the
comments sections of articles about Epik High started
filling up with anonymous messages accusing Lee of
lying about his Stanford diploma. In May 2010 an
antifan club formed and quickly attracted tens of
thousands of members who accused him of stealing
someone’s identity, dodging the draft, and faking
passports, diplomas, and transcripts. The accusations
were accompanied by supposed evidence supplied by the
online masses, who also produced slick YouTube attack
videos. It was a full-fledged backlash.
6. By that summer, Lee’s alleged fraud had become one of
Korea’s top news items. Death threats streamed in, and
Lee found himself accosted by angry people on the
street. Since his face was so recognizable, he became a
virtual prisoner in his Seoul apartment. In a matter of
weeks, he went from being one of the most beloved
figures in the country to one of the most reviled.
But in fact Lee had not lied about his academic record.
He actually did graduate from Stanford in three and a
half years with two degrees. His GPA had been in the top
15 percent of his undergraduate class. The evidence
marshaled against him was false. It was an online witch
hunt, and last spring I set out to discover why it
happened.
7. I first heard about Lee when editors at Stanford
Magazine, a publication of the Stanford Alumni
Association, called to tell me about the rapper’s
plight. The university’s administration and the
alumni association had tried their best to defend
him, seemingly with little success. The editors
asked if I would write an article about the
controversy, and I agreed to. (I attended Stanford
as an undergrad.)
8. I started by tracking down Lee’s classmates and
spoke with four who lived in the San Francisco Bay
Area. They felt terrible about what had happened
to their friend. He was smart, they all agreed, but
what set him apart was his dedication to music. He
could have taken a more traditional path after
graduation—law school or consulting—but instead
he chose to return to Korea to start a hip hop
group. “It was a risky career choice,” says Conrad
Lo, a former dorm-mate and now a product
manager at Google. “Koreans didn’t even like hip
hop back then.”
9. Sure enough, Lee struggled when he first returned to
Korea. Epik High released two albums to little fanfare.
Lee titled the third album Swan Songs, on the
assumption that he’d have to get a real job after it failed.
Instead the 2005 release was a hit and helped introduce
Korean audiences to hip hop. It also turned Lee into a
celebrity, and his star power only grew over the next five
years.
The campaign against him took off on May
11, 2010, when someone formed an online forum titled
TaJinYo, an abbreviation in Korean for the phrase “Tell
the truth, Tablo.” The leader of the forum identified
himself as Whatbecomes, indicated that he lived in the
US, and explained that he was contacting news
organizations in Korea and the States to inform them that
Lee was a liar. Chief among the accusations was that Lee
10. Diploma falsification had been a sensitive topic in Korea
for some time. In 2007 the chief curator of a modern art
museum in Seoul was found to have fabricated a Yale
PhD and was jailed for 18 months on forgery charges.
The scandal prompted prosecutors to investigate at least
120 cases of diploma fraud, ensnaring
celebrities, soldiers, and even a monk. “There are
definitely more people out there,” one of the prosecutors
told Bloomberg News. “We just can’t spot them.”
In that environment, the accusations against Lee
seemed plausible. After all, it usually takes four years to
complete a bachelor’s degree. A master’s normally takes
another year or two. Lee had done it all in less than four.
Students also typically write a thesis to attain a
master’s, and yet Lee admitted that he never wrote one.
(His program didn’t require a thesis.)
11. After entertainment gossip sites wrote about the
anti-Lee site, TaJinYo’s membership swelled to
more than 100,000. Not content to wait for more
allegations to emerge, many forum members
launched their own investigations into Lee’s past.
Soon, in a birtherlike onslaught, Stanford
professors and administrators were flooded with
emails from people questioning Lee’s educational
background. Thomas Black, the Stanford
registrar, received 133 emails on the subject.
Everybody wanted to know one thing: Was Lee
telling the truth?
12. Forum members seemed to relish the digital
inquisition. “We call this game <Tablo Online>,” wrote
one heckler, who referred to himself as a Tablo Online
player, as if it were a casual pastime to be enjoyed
during work breaks. What becomes expertly fanned the
flames, threatening to reveal dark secrets about Lee
and promising to unveil them slowly for maximum
dramatic effect. It was, he said, “more fun that way.”
What becomes began hinting at a broader conspiracy:
The media was colluding to protect Lee, because he was
part of Korea’s upper crust. But the average citizen
could fight back. “By proving Tablo’s fraud this
time, the deep-rooted symbiotic relationship [between
the media and the rich] can be cut off,” he wrote.
