Tin tin in Korea
0648748 Grace Min
Tin tin and snowy are boarding in Korean airline, government sent him on a diplomatic mission to an extradition treaty but, his real task is to investigate the serial murderer who was vanished after committing homicide of six women in Philadelphia. At the same time, snowy is sitting on the corner of cargo shivering with fear of imagining Korean who eats dog.
As soon as entering a hotel room, Tin tin heard a knock at the front door, “Sir here’s a message for you.” Tall and handsome uniformed bellboy said when he opens the door. “Thank you” Tin tin shortly replied with glancing suspiciously at him
- criminal disguised himself as an English teacher working in the private language school around Kang Nam-
He took out some orange juice from the refrigerator and strolled to the veranda repeated muttering to himself about the message, pondering who sent it? CIA? Who else?
Next morning, Tin tin found interesting news in Korean times is that an American English teacher who was invited by Ministry of Education was accused of deceiving his qualification of teaching. The story is that one of student’s father went to school because of the parents meeting, the English teacher introduce himself, he studied in H university. However, unfortunately boy’s father also studied in the same university as well as the same year but couldn’t memorize him properly and started to doubt, finally, he secretly searched about teacher’s background, and ended up, his real identity was revealed. Patting snowy on the back, Tin tin fall in deep thinking of finding the clue. Suddenly, Tin tin got up, grabbed the news paper and running down the street, snowy is also merely following him without knowing anything. ‘would you please tell me where we are going’?!?!?!?!........

Cool basic idea of Tintin in Korea - it's time the little guy got out an about around Asia a bit more. Guess what you've posted is still pretty much a sketch as I can't quite connect all the dots yet. Keep with it - could be really interesting.
BTW - Harim in blog #2 has written up some ideas about Mitsuhirato in Tintin TAs I suggested to her, maybe you guys can cross blog and hook up with each other to dicsuss your ideas (up to you).
Here's the link:

First I have to say that I don't know much about Tintin and the first time I read Tintin comic was this semester when we were learning about him. I agree with Paul that the idea of introducing Korea into the story is interesting.
When I read the Blue Lotus, I had a picture of China in my head. I think maybe you can add something about Korea, or Korean culture and beliefs, in your story so we will not only enjoy the story, but also learn more about your country.
it's just my suggestion though :)
I'd like to explain what I'm going to make story in Tin tin.
There is growing concern about the report that middle class Koreans are spending up to 40% of their disposable income on English study. This is true and I've considered this matter since I've studied this course.So, I feel that it's a good opportunity to observe such phenomenon as I'm an outsider.Likewise, Tin tin his view on this, will be a main story together with introducing Korean traditional culture.
Although Tintin's point of view on that issue could slightly be negative or sarcastic, it should be a valid comment on Korean language planning.
In addition, I'm aiming for my audience's age ranging from 10 to 25 so, I'll try choose language simpler but expecting that they'll find some lessons in Tin tin.
Also I'll try to draw cartoons but you'll see them nearly the end of this story.
Hi, Grace! I am Harim from group 2. I think writing Tintin in Korea is a great idea and frankly I haven’t thought about it. My fanfiction is also about Tintin but I am going to follow the original story line of 'The Blue Lotus'. I think yours is more challenging task. I am aware of the negative effects of private English tuition in Korea and concerned about it. I will be looking forward to Tintin’s opinion and suggestions about the issue.
Aha, "false documents and fake qualification" I though they were all made in Asia, especially made in China. Interesting! Americans do so. Actually, there are some dodgy ESOL teacher training colleges in US making good money from selling their inrecognized diploma. of course, there must be reasons when the market exists. Will the reason lead us into your story,Grace?
