User blog comment:ItsukoChan/Petition for Im Yong Soo?/@comment-67.85.199.247-20100610000041

Hmmmmmmm.....There have been several posts on Korea and there aren't many people who believe Korea will ever make an anime appearance. I'm sure the majority of the Hetalia community do want Korea on the mainstream (I personally before Korea is a one of the kind). Heck, there may even be South Korean citizen who like Hetalia and wish thier country's representation was still on the show. Even with that said, the controversy over there was HUGE. I mean, they were airing this stuff on the news. Unfortunetly, Hetalia is a very controversial series, what with country steriotypes AND the "gay factor", it's not typical general audiance franchise.

Now, I'm not trying to discourage the idea. I'm sure Yong Soo would glomp you for the effort, but I'm not sure how well this would turn out. I'm sure Himaruya doens't want Korea to be retired, but there isn't much we can do.

I might sign it, dispite the odds, but I don't know...
