Does Korea still have a somewhat tainted rep of trustworthiness in research?
Having lived in Korea many moons ago, I recall the nationalism being absolutely bonkers in romanticising anything Korean being superior. I remember hearing many times that Korean scientists are better than anywhere else in the world because Korean children eat with metal chopsticks. Yep, this was considered a fact.









It’s harder to eat with metal chopsticks because they are more slippery than wooden ones.
