President Lee Myung-bak dons a military uniform and sweats with a puzzled look as he attempts to shoot a gun. His shots represent his hardline and unsound policy towards North Korea. The military uniform does not suit him well since he never actually completed his military service.

His cabinet members clap and cheer behind him, saying “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” One of them wears a sash designating them as “cabinet members who have not completed their military service.” In fact, a number of cabinet members never completed their compulsory military service.

Meanwhile, civilians and soldiers are startled to see the way in which President Lee erratically shoots his gun, indicative of the concern South Koreans feel about his recent moves for inter-Korean relations.
