All hail Communism.
The Korean people are some of the most intelligent on the planet. The South Korean are #2 in the entire globe, and the North Koreans are the same people.
Communism destroyed them. North Korea should be one of the richest nation's on earth.
But - you know all of this of course. Not trying to preach to the choir, but it is such a tragedy, isn't it?
IMO the strength of the South Koreans is their willingness to work hard. Education is held in very high regard.
Socialism is working hard to break this though.
