Korea is homogeneous in mind, if not in blood and DNA. The mind makes it so, regardless of the truth. There is no reason for Korea to be a part of the nation branding program as only their own propaganda keeps the nationalist thought processes in a constant inward-looking pattern that creates disdain for all others. I love it here. It’s so easy to understand the ignorance.

These are people with little ability to compare other places or ways of thinking. Korea is the most homogeneous nation in the OECD, with little consideration for foreign visitors or migrant workers. PR may improve the opinions of armchair travelers, but visit Korea? There are many dozen better places to enjoy & to spend your money. Avoid!

Anyone who has lived in Korea, or even interacted with Koreans anywhere, knows that LYING forms a large part of the Korean psyche and culture.

Lying is seen as a “clever joke” in Korean culture, as is witnessed by many Korean folk tales.

Nuff said – Koreans are not to be trusted – they LIE and LIE and LIE again – ask Kim Jong-sick(Ill).
