I love South Korea. I did part of my university degree there, learned to speak Korean, and drank a lifetime's supply of Soju. But I actually think it reinforces the hypothesis. South Korea only looks good compared to North Korea. They have relatively few rights, and most Koreans are locked into a pseudo poverty and don't get to travel like the rich Koreans. Government power is intertwined with chaebol power, and that power is at a level typical of a western state, where it can do whatever it wants, be as corrupt as it wants, and the population pays for it via inflation and absurd property prices.

Sorry to any Koreans reading this - I love you guys. You know its true.
