South Korea has something that the West fears

South Korea is one of the most peculiar countries. On one hand, Korea is really good with their products, brands, technology, innovation and distribution around the world. On the other — to the western eye local internet industry is weirdly lagging behind in some vital parts. For instance, when you browse Korean websites, it seems their design an
