Editor/Consultant: Undisclosed
Country: Korea
Type: Online magazine
Description: All ABOUT 3wm— The Three Wise Monkeys: somehow you get it; have heard it; maybe even experienced it. Why are we using it? It goes back to the beginning of this publishing project originally called DDD. DDD is local speak for the jobs and lifestyles that young Koreans (and not so young and not just Korean) want no part of: Difficult Dirty Dangerous. It’s a maxim that signifies being uneducated, underemployed and dare to say it even unfashionable. It was also the title of a bilingual and open submission magazine started in Daejeon, South Korea around the time of the 2002 World Cup which was hosted in different cities here on the peninsula. The east meets west magazine was a thoughtful squeezebox of cutting edge featuring first person stories about being inside a boy’s prison, getting caught up in a cult and exploring the Falun Gong movement here. It also carried poetry and sculpture spreads, student essays, political and NGO profiles… even being at punk rock gigs and experiencing dog cafes and fat farms were in the mix.
