“South Korea unveiled its new ‘tourist police’ force Wednesday, with snappy uniforms from rapper Psy’s costume designer and a ‘Gangnam Style’ launch in central Seoul. Around 100 young policemen and women make up the first batch of the new force — formed to protect tourists from being ripped off during their stay in the South Korean capital. The officers were handpicked for their linguistic skills, and can speak a range of languages including English, Japanese and Mandarin. ‘Those who think they were overcharged by taxi drivers or street food vendors can come and talk to us. We will help settle the problem,’ English-speaking recruit Park Jae-Hyoung told AFP.”
