“Another delay?! Geez Louise! Do they have any idea how excited I am to go to Hop’o?” 
   Yes, the opening of Pusan Subway Line 2 has been put off yet again. The problem? You tell us. One source says it’s a glitch in the noise dampening system. Others say the signals aren’t working so well. Or maybe they’ve discovered the mysterious land of Og down there and don’t want anybody to know about it. 
   Well they won’t keep their secrets for long now that Exit Magazine’s crack team of investigative journalists are on the case. Armed with a disposable camera and a Tico, here’s what our news hounds were able to discover about the enigmatic second line...

We set off from Somyon and headed west. As we looked back at all the department stores, robadayaki houses, and giant TV screens we thought,
“What the hell are we doing going to Hop’o?
 
 
 

The cheerful promenade at Kaya showed promise… … 
  
but the urban renewal project underway in front of Dongeui University dashed all our hopes for civilization … 
 
 
 

… as did the condo theme park at Kaegum. Care to visit your 50,000 friends?

Sa-a-a-ay! Who’s this stranger coming out of Tokchon Station and what does he know about the mysterious land of Og?

There seems to be nothing but piles of sand at Sujong Station. Unless you count the concrete company.

A tree grows in Yulli. Actually there’s a lot to be said about Yulli. Slap a beach on it and you could call it Haeundae it’s so pretty. It’s also home to the famous neolithic site, the Yulli Shell Mound. According to the sign “it can be assumed that human beings had lived under the rocks behind and this rock-shelters may be called academically rock covered shelters.” Hmmm?

We reached the verdant forests of Hop’o, at last! So, did we find anything? You bet your hanaro card we did. We’re just not going to show it to you. In fact, in the interests of your personal safety, we suggest you forget everything you saw here. Given how iffy our printing process is, this page is probably just a bunch of formless blurs anyway. Maybe that’s just as well. When the new line opens you can come and see what we mean  for yourself.
