Willkommen im »Land der Morgenstille«! Martin Hyun, Sohn zweier in Deutschland lebender Südkoreaner, erkundet für uns die Heimat seiner Vorfahren. Dabei stößt er auf jahrhundertealte Tempel und weiße Sandstrände ebenso wie auf pulsierende Millionenmetropolen und eine ausgeprägte Popkultur, die derzeit als koreanische Welle über Europa schwappt. Augenzwinkernd verrät er, dass im Parlament gerne mal die Fäuste fliegen und wie Unternehmen der Work-Sex-Balance ihrer Angestellten auf die Sprünge helfen. Worauf es in der hiesigen Küche ankommt. Weshalb man beim »Koreanischen Dreikampf« – essen, trinken, singen – standhaft bleiben muss. Und warum ein Koreaner, dem es niemals schnell genug gehen kann, immer bei guter Laune gehalten werden sollte. »Der Autor dieser interessanten Zeilen ist ganz Deutscher und ganz Koreaner, damit ist das Buch insgeheim auch ein politisches Signal. Diese Art von Multikulti ist eine, von der man sich noch viel mehr wünscht.« ("FAS") »In ›Gebrauchsanweisung für Südkorea‹ gibt der Autor einen persönlichen Eindruck und Einblicke in Brauchtum, Traditionen und Ratschläge zum Heimatland seiner Eltern, damit bei einem Besuch auch für den Touristen alles reibungslos verläuft.« ("Rheinische Post") »Alles in allem eine der wenigen Bücher über Südkorea, die man zum Vergnügen lesen kann.« ("Asia Bridge") Über den Autor: Martin Hyun, 1979 in Krefeld geboren, Sohn koreanischer Gastarbeiter, studierte Politik, International Business und International Relations in den USA und Belgien, war der erste koreanischstämmige Bundesligaspieler in der Deutschen Eishockey Liga (DEL) und Junioren Nationalspieler Deutschlands. Sein Debüt-Buch "Lautlos-Ja Sprachlos-Nein: Grenzgänger zwischen Deutschland und Korea" erschien 2008 im Eb-Verlag Hamburg. Das zweite Buch trägt den Titel "Ohne Fleiss kein Reis: Wie ich ein guter Deutscher wurde" und wird im Frühjahr 2012 im Randomhouse Verlag erscheinen. Hyun ist Initiator der Hockey is Diversity Kampagne und Pate für die "Schule ohne Rassismus" Kampagne.
