Now for this week's question...

As many of you may already know, this Friday is the first of April. Now this means April Fool's day or "Manujeol" in Korean. Many people play tricks and pranks on one another.

This got me thinking, in a way, tricks are harmless, short-term lies. Most people would agree that lying is bad. However, some lies are more forgivable than others. For example, the very popular lie that many guys tell their girlfriends or wives: "No honey, you DON'T look fat in that dress."

What kind of lies do you think are okay and what kind of lies do you think are not okay? For example, would you think it's okay if someone lied to you about their age on a first date? What about lying to you about your horrible outfit, saying that it looks nice? What about not telling you that you had a big piece of spinach stuck in between your teeth? What about lying about a previous relationship? Lying about a criminal record?

What do you think is okay to lie about and what is not okay to lie about? Let us know and you may be chosen as our next KBS World Radio Your Two Cents winner!

Have a great week everyone! smile emoticon
