Kulture Klash: Korean Blood Oaths and the American Bar Association
If there was one document you’d expect to be honored it would be a contract written entirely in blood.
Not so in the land of round eyes where even faced with a promissory note in blood an American lawyer is arguing its validity. While Independent Sources cannot attest to the circumstances by which it was signed, for God’s sake it’s in blood! If you are planning on weaselling out on a contract then just print it out on an ink-jet printer instead of writing it out by hand in your bodily fluid of life.
Perhaps our man in Korea will shed some light on this.
