You can find a little more information on the play and the troupe performing "KKK" on their page at the Fringe Festival site, or perhaps can glean something from their Cyworld club. For the benefit of international readers, "KKK" refers to Ku Klux Klan, a hate group in the United States that has traditionally worn a hood such as that on the flier.

Huh? Is this like when Koreans celebrate Nazis and rejoice in other forms of racism, forgetting that in other countries the racism would be directed at them...?
If this is for a play or a performance, then whats wrong??
Imagine the reaction of Korean netizens if they came across the use of Colonial Japanese imagery in New York to market a seemingly unrelated, American play...
Indeed!
Not that the whole KKK thing bothers me anyway.
arvinsign,
it's wrong because the play has nothing at all to do with the KKK at all. The fliers are to attract attention only. IMO, it's the wrong kind of attention:
"Miss.Kim is ordinary career woman working at woolen fabric company. While she's on the way to bank for pay something with company's account, chanced on retired sergeant who's previous relationship with her. ( Every weekends she's doing volunteer work as a member of Hyang-Woo which's a club for keeping a relationship who's leaving in different city but same hometown)
He offered her to take her company by his zeep labeled the "Hyang-Woo Club". She got in his car accepting his kind offer.
but, destination was not a her company but a some basement.
He seized company's money from her, then suddenly forced her to admit a terrorist.
The sergeant insists Miss.Kim is a terrorist but she protests she's not". Under the examination, she've heard from angry sergeant why it was happened..."
@ROK Hound,
yeah..thanks for the clarification. If thats the case, then i agree with you.
I wrote to them here and got assurances that their play "isn't related with Ku Klux Klan" and that "our KKK means Korea Korea Korea."
I wasn't particularly satisfied with that answer, since the advert you displayed clearly shows a KKK hood, but so far no one has responded to my second query.
