Korean exclusive - King Sejong the Great
« on: March 18, 2024, 00:12:44 »
By chance I autotranslated one of the Korean articles JLMatterer posted and saw a mention of a Korean exclusive, searching the Korean text gave me these images:









Appears to be King Sejong, considered one of the great leaders of Korea and the man who invented the unique Korean script!

Why are the Korean promos so... special?  He's gorgeous!

So far these proved hard to get - or should I say expensive? (unless they appear in other sellers around..)

Shipping is not cheap, and afaik, we DO pay customs on it - though I saw something on amclicks about a deal between EU and South Korea... Does anyone know about that? My sister gets her guys from there on occasion, and I believe ransom was always demanded..

My wallet is crying at the thought.

Mine is giving me THE LOOK.

Wow, he's a great figure. I just got back from Seoul, and the screen is one of the symbols of the Royal family and sits behind the throne in each of the palaces.

Thanks for sharing the news of a very attractive klicky

Now to find one
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
