#2 No. However, they have a knack of adopting from other cultures things that 'work' without the usual tribal/nationalistic/cultural resistance which makes them a little more dangerous in a competitive sense than the Chinese or Japanese.

Anger at the nation's chaebol has risen in recent years as many people blame widening economic inequality in South Korea on the conglomerates' rapid expansion.

Which is nothing compared to the 'income inequity' between being a South rather than North Korean. (You don't see South Koreans streaming across the border going North, although you'll see North Koreans sneaking north into Manchuria)

Is also ignited by manias:
On a KAL plane,
This is Cho Hyun-ah's brain;
This is Cho's brain on wrapped macadamias.
