A video of Koreans reacting to mister roger's neighborhood episodes. I have so much respect for Rogers, the man was a gem we lost far too soon.

@freemo When I was 4 years old I asked my parents if I could change my name to Mr Rogers.

@twotwenty Thats cute.. I'm sure fred would have been honored. The man was nothing but positivist.

@freemo The footage of him in talking in the senate is pretty amazing.

He was one the greats to have lived in our time.

@twotwenty Yes I've seen it (and countless other interviews and talks he gave)... the man was extraordinary for sure.

@lucifargundam thanks for that info... I'd kinda be surprised if people didnt at the very least know who he was or about his show. I feel bad for anyone who didnt grow up with his show honestly.

@freemo

I really enjoyed this, I feel more connected to Koreans now to :).
