South Koreans Not Happy About Rodman Visit to North Korea

Not making any friends, outside of Kim Jong Un

American basketball star Dennis Rodman's trip to North Korea is not winning him many friends in South Korea.

South Korean social media sites are filled with sneering comments about the former National Basketball Association All-Star—accusing him of going to North Korea for money and calling him names like "psychopath."

One Twitter user wrote, "Dear North Korea: Rodman is a gift.  Happy (belated) holidays" @MangJang_chb(01.06).

Comments became especially angry after a video showed him singing "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
