"T.K. Park, who runs the blog Ask A Korean, says that the phrase [sent by
Dennis Rodman to Kim Jong Un] is best rendered in Korean as 내 얼굴을 봐서 케네스 배를
석방해달라. That translates literally to “Look at my face and release Kenneth
Bae.”
“Look at my face,” Park says, is a Korean expression that’s like a special,
for-friends-only version of “do me a favor.” It’s an expression you use with
friends and for favors that they might not otherwise be willing to do. It
carries, Park says, “the implication that someone will do that favor purely
based on his personal relationship with you.”"

They've got some new machines in there since my last visit, and the
instructions on the new ones all advise the use of "Solid" quarters.
