What's with all the college students in Korea wearing Che Guevara t-shirts?

Question

It is way more common than in the U.S....

All i can do when I see kids like this is shake my head and think, "Do they even know what they are wearing..."

Answer 1

Most Koreans don't know what they are wearing, but English print has always been popular.

Answer 2

Che Guevara, heh. It's exceptionally popular in the US, most colleg campuses are covered with kids who own them.



Guevara is believed to be a socail revolutionary and has become an idol that is touted by people who believe that change is necessary.



The ironic part of this is that Guevara was a killer, not a freedom fighter. He presided over the post-revolution courts in Cuba and sent countless people to their deaths (and carried them out himself in many cases) for frumpted up charges and for things that were completely fabricated.



And before anyone sends me the hate mail, let me say this: save your time. I have living history in the form of eye witnesses on my side.
