Koreans on Twitter react to Trump's victory with humor and satire

American citizens were not the only ones who are deeply interested and invested the 2016 U.S. presidential election. When it became clear that Donald J. Trump would be the next American president, many Koreans -- who are dealing with its own political chaos -- reacted on Twitter to express their concerns and shock, and some did so through humor and satire. Here are some of the best reactions from South Korea:

"We will pretend like we didn't see that, so elect again."

"Swiss doctor: Why are you guys here?

- "I am American."

- "I am Korean."

Doctor: I get it."

"What about President Obama? lol So unbelievable because for the last 8 years, he worked so hard against racism to change the world as the first black president, and it all became nothing when a white supremacist, racist person got elected..."

"As a citizen of a Shamanistic nation, we need to do this for the world..."

"In America, they are saying, will they have the first female president or the first crazy president....But in Korea, we have already accomplished both. The first crazy, female president..."

"Busan Daily News has gone mad lol"

"Hey, if you're going to throw away Hillary like that, give her to us."

"Got a message from my American friend: Sorry I mocked your country for being Shamanistic. We have just become a circus."

"Let's forget that happened and let Obama continue"

"Korean: Park Geun Hye would never get elected, no way, lol

British: Brexit would never happen, no way, lol

American: Trump would never get elected, no way, lol

Impossible is nothing."

"I thought, of course, Hillary will win, but I had too much faith in humanity. I am sorry."

"NASA: 'Earth might end in 7 years by getting hit with astroids.'

That's one good news."

"Korean: Oh my god...Korea is ruined... Why is Korea like this?

God: Haha, what a pitiful country. I will have mercy on you and...

Korea: Oh, will you save us?

God: ...ruin the entire world."

"It is difficult to live as a woman in her 20s in Korea --> It is difficult to live as an Asian woman in her 20s on the Earth."

"Okay, lets elect my Taru as president. She is pretty and cute and soft and always sticks its tongue out. She isn't racist or sexist. She only eats once a week and poops with her butthole, in the corner or in the drinking cup. Tiny Taru for president!!"

However, as this is also quite the serious issue, stay tuned for more grave concerns voiced by Koreans.
