I don’t know. There are a ton of Korean supplier plants in UCLA - the Upper Corner of Lower Alabama, the I-85 corridor from the GA state line (and the huge Kia assembly plant just across it in GA) down to Auburn-Opelika. I’ve seen Korean types lunching with locals in a meat-and-two place and getting along quite well. I have seen a good KBBQ yet, but I’m not down there much and haven’t looked.
Correction, I haven’t seen a good KBBQ yet.
Keep going down I-85!
The huge Hyundai assembly plant is in Montgomery.
The supplier plants go all the way to Montgomery and beyond. Auburn-Opelika is the epicenter.
I believe Hyundai owns KIA.
