Well-being
Re: Korean 'well-being' slogan for some, not others
The English term "well-being" is a buzzword in Korea these days. The trend on the whole seems positive, something akin to the "slow food" movement. It means different things to different people.
Marketing, however, has taken over the term and it now means nothing. Fast-food chains have "well-being" menus. There is "well-being" junk-food (with calcium). A nude model has released a "well-being" nude photo-album. There is even talk of Kim Jong-il's "well-being" program.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
