GM Food?

OK! After a long hiatus, I'm back blogging away!

Bought 5 corns from 하나로 마트 near by campus, for ₩1980. Since I hardly had any corn while I'm in Korea, I thought it might be the best time to buy for a bargain. Hmm... purple or red corn, looks pretty strange to me, hope that those are not GM corn.

BTW, corn is called 옥수수 in Korean, which sounds smacking similar to Chinese 玉蜀黍, but I have yet to find any entry in Korean dictionary that actually explicitly stated any Hanja for 옥수수. This might imply that 옥수수 is not a Hanja word. Also, 玉蜀黍 is pronounce as 옥촉서 I will go and find out from larger dictionary, and hope to get come clue out of it.
