1 п. “Не имей сто друзей, а имей сто шекелей” тоже хорошо рифмуется

9 п. Сто пудов !

I would like to support your cause but THE MAGAZINE IS BORING!!
i mean just because i am korean doesnt mean i have to support a magazine that doesnt do anything for me. i dont learn anything from it. i dont get entertained by it. i am not proud of it. i feel like i m wasting my time reading it.

sorry and its nothing personal but i just cant buy a magazine that looks like a loser. so what if you feature koreans who were on tv, movies, etc. so what if you have korean politicians, businessmen,etc. i mean anybody with average intelligence can do that. show us something different. let me be proud that i am buying your magazine.

i felt proud when i watched bruce lee movies because he made asian guys feel confident and masculine.

if you want us to save your magazine do something that is not boring, ordinary, and fluffy. do something that can make a difference in korean americans.

Ive heard of this mag back when I was going to college. I personally have not subscribed to the magazine but I think its nice to have this type of publication available for KoreAm’s. Its nice that you have benefit events to keep your magazine alive but this is simply a bandage to the problem.

I think your team needs to sit down and concentrate on the business side rather than spending time on donation events. Think of ways to get more Korean businesses to advertise in your magazine, create a paid classified ad section, generate more traffic to your website. Think about cutting the fat from your company, printing costs, etc. Go to your KoreAm church and professional groups to promote your magazine.There are plenty of ways to increase your business so your magazine continues to stay in business.

Its pretty tough lately for all businesses but you have to hustle in order to stay ahead. Good luck!

I’m fairly new to KoreAm magazine, but from what I’ve read, KoreAm is essential in uniting the Korean American community. As a part of the E-board for a large Korean American conference this spring, I find myself continually drawing on KoreAm for inspiration and perspective.

I found out about this magazine from my friend I met at a MeetUp.

I had no idea such a great magazine for Korean Americans was out there. I definitely plan to subscribe and donate. I’ll also see if I can find a way to get the word out.

To increase the subscriber base, why not target the many Korean American students associations around the country – perhaps entice their members with a free introductory issue? Playing up the ethnic guilt for not supporting KoreAM wouldn’t hurt either.

I agree KoreAm is a great publication worth saving. Everyone please do whatever you can to help keep KoreAm going. I came to know KorAm when they visited the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey, CA and they published a highly detailed, very informative 5-page article about how the US military teaches the Korean language and culture.

I began reading KoreAm when it was published as a newspaper. It was the only source of Korean American news and features, and it remains so today.

We are lucky to have our own ethnic publication. It helps build a sense of community among Korean Americans throughout the country and fills a large void in the vast media landscape. Without it, we would never know the great and varied accomplishments of our people.

Let’s do our part to save this very important piece of our Korean American culture.

Koream was sent for many years to our church ed. dept. and it’s been so valuable in keeping a finger on the pulse of KA culture and news! Ever since I borrowed my first issue from my roommate at school, I’ve always made it a goal to make it into the pages of Koream! Now THAT would be an accomplishment! And this past August, I my mini-dream came true! I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Koream for supporting KA artists, musicians, and newsmakers.

We’ve put a link to this blog from our site and I hope through this campaign, more people will find out about this excellent magazine.

I’ll be getting my workplace to get a subscription! Also, one idea is maybe having a fundraiser gala concert in LA and NY, at the very least, Koream could get valuable press and visibility. I’d be honored to participate!
