Well, screw you, too. :) Why tie a bad food experience to the cuisine type, given that you're eating at what's clearly not a good restaurant?
Metal chopsticks aren't hot unless you're cooking with them. At that kind of place, they're usually hollow, anyway.
The white ooze is mung bean jelly; the beans are probably kongjaban (e.g.) and way too sweet for my taste; if there was tempura on the table, the cooking is automatically too Americanized to count as "Korean food"; the "shredded grass" is pickled daikon and carrot, usually, also too sweet most of the time (what was the third color?); and yes, grilled eggplant, probably made from little Japanese or Thai eggplant instead of the big bitter kind sold in American supermarkets.
