https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F25RC_YAxq4 It seems that the word the best describes Korean work culture is NOT "crazy", but "abusive". The minimum hourly wage is US $7.25. Korea's is a few cents higher. THAT A SLAVE WAGE that "hurts" the economy. THAT IS NOT SMART. The "other" wages mentioned are ALL on the LOW SIDE. Korea would be MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE by offering "better" wages. IBM learned that there is A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP between PAY and PERFORMANCE. Will the Koreans ever learn? (Ha! Ha!)
