Tim, > He was a South Korean citizen, and a permanent legal resident of the US.

His South Korean citizenship is just a remnant. It's obvious his family moved here to stay. Seung Hui might as well have been a U.S. citizen, if not technically.

But another reason why the media refers to him as a South Korean citizen is the fact that South Korea is taking the tragedy very seriously.

Secondly, why do they keep referring to him as a S. Korean when he has spent most of his life in the US and is a citizen of the US?

He was a South Korean citizen, and a permanent legal resident of the US.

"Seung-Hui was a South Korean immigrant who had been in the United States since 1992 and who held a green card signifying his status as a legal permanent U.S. resident, federal officials said Tuesday."

Who lived most of his life in the US.
