A furor erupted this week in Korea over a single letter. Haphazardly written by a female high school student in Seoul to a male soldier, it appeared to be on a piece of paper ripped from a notebook with no regard for proper language.

I am about to become a high school senior and feel fucked, but I still have to participate in events like this, so you, too, should give it all."
