Via Standblog, Open Web Korea. Nice design – albeit by Andreas Viklund, not très Korean… – but would have been better had they pushed the envelope a bit and converted to UTF-8… I guess another decade is required for that.

Note the 고발 [file a complaint; report someone] activities, something that is very Korean. I like the idea of reporting official websites that require IE to function – and they’re gonna be fuckin’ busy, pardon mon French, since ActiveX/IE-only web sites are the norm in Korea, not the exception! I am a little more reserved about their planned Hall of Shame!, pointing out personal web sites that are of “low quality”…

It’s nice to see Koreans move toward Open Standards – I’ve noticed a few web sites that are friendly to non-IE browsers, but as far as Firefox, Opera and Safari are concerned, it’s still the dark ages over there. I guess I’ll be watching this site…
