Uniform of the staff － “(일본에 가는) 비행기값 아까워서 ㄷㅋㅎㅌ(돈키호테) 직접 만듬” “Because it is a waste of an air fare (to go to Japan), we made Don Quixote directly.”
Pierrot Shopping side officially announced that it did a benchmarking of Don・Quijote. In Korea benchmarking means imitating.
(Korea・namu.wiki)
In Korea, it is criticized if you say “I plagiarized or imitated something”, but it does not have any problem if you say “I did a benchmarking of something” instead. |

  Pama is the Japanese word that means permanent wave. “美容室” that means beauty parlor is the Japanese word too. 70% of Korean words derive from Japanese words. This is meticulous about details unusually. The animal has permed hair. |

City Hall “활기찬 중심도시 동래” (Vigorous metropolis Dongrae) Is this “ドラえもん”? 
No, it is not “ドラえもん”.
It’s “동짜몽”,
a plagiarism of “ドラえもん”.
“동짜몽”
“Tongchamong” is pleased to stamp on Japan.
“Tongchamong” seems to be abbreviation of “tonglcharimongtang” that means “round and short”.
“동짜몽” (Namuwiki)
The elderly persons memorize it with this name. Its pictures are delicately different from the original. This is because Korean writers copied the original drawing by hand and made books in Korea. They were very popular in those days. 1979s’ versions were not made by drawing by hand, but Korean writers just copied Japanese editions from volume 1 to 6. They were copy books from top to bottom, except Korean writers cut only the parts that had Japanese-styles and overwrote crudely. The 90s’ books were not the pirate editions, but plagiarisms. And Japanese-styles were all deleted. The school stationeries were also sold well.

二宮 金次郎 (Japanese)  
Kinjirō Ninomiya was a prominent 19th-century Japanese agricultural leader, philosopher, moralist and economist. The statue is depicting the popular but fictitious story that said Kinjirō was reading a book while walking and carrying firewood on his back. |

韓 石峰 (Korean)
 There cannot be a statue of “Kinjiro Ninomiya” in Korea. This may be one of the traces of the rule by Japan. |
