The assailant, identified only by his family name Park, argued that U.S. beef is safe for consumption before assaulting the men just outside the Jogye Temple, headquarters of the country's largest Buddhist sect.
The victims are members of the Anti-Lee Myung-bak Cafe, an online community supporting organizers of the anti-U.S. beef protests who have been taking refuge since July in the Buddhist temple to evade arrest.
"A man approached arguing that Korean beef is more dangerous than U.S. beef, and then appeared to leave before coming back with a knife," a witness was quoted as saying.
Police said the suspect runs a restaurant near the temple and plan to seek an arrest warrant for Park on charges of attempted murder.
It's titled "Drunken Man Attacks 3 After Argument Over US Beef," and it's apparently noteworthy that he was drunk since alcohol is the cause of, and excuse for, so many incidents here.

I don't know whether to say "That's terrible." or "That's awesome."
I'll say "That's sad."
Did anyone die? No? Then...
THAT'S AWESOME!
