As an aside, and because I don't want to devote a whole nother post to this, does anyone know how to search and access Korea Times articles from when the url was still times.hankooki.com? I've tried google news searches and I've tried to see if the articles I'm looking for were mirrored on any other sites, but they weren't. Just curious.

use one or a combination of the operators found here:

of use might be the "intitle:" and "allintitle" (very specific) operators
I haven't a clue about whether stafford's advice would work or not, but considering the Korea Times changed its website quite some time ago, I'd figure you're SOL. Hell, even recent articles I've linked to there within the last year are no longer viable.
There used to be another option, the KINDS database, but it seems it's no longer working. It really is something I need to blog about to see if anyone knows more about its disappearance.
I'm glad I did my research there using Korean language articles from 1997 and 1998 about the origins of wonjo gyoje awhile ago and saved them in a word file - it would seem I'd be unable to do it now.
An interesting note - in mid-June 1998 (months before any reports of police arresting anyone for taking part in wonjo gyoje), a news program interviewed a few middle school girls and happily publicized their pulled-out-of-their-ass figures of 40% of the girls in their class taking part in wonjo gyoje. Several newspapers (Hankyoreh especially) criticized such sensationalist journalism. The name of the show?

Sorry to hog your comment space, but I just found this post by Don Park (who broke the dog shit girl story in the US 3 years ago) who made the same observation about the dangers of cars as you did - after the very first anti-beef candlelight vigil.
I don't mind at all, thanks for the tips and for that link.
