Why can't I copy text from these types of webpages (usually Korean blogs)?

I want to copy the text on Korean blogs, but I can't even select the text... or anything on the page (not even pictures). Anyone know a workaround for this? I'd really appreciate it!

Example blogs:

These sites uses a script to (somehow) disable selection. To copy from these sites, you might need to disable JavaScript. There is an on/off button type extension that you can use to do that quickly/temporarily.

Perhaps there is a more targeted workaround, but since I do not read Korean, it's challenging to investigate.
