They are not evil, they are Borg, collectivist society. Individual life means very little to them. They all are like that, yellow peoples. South Koreans only differ in behaviors you guys implanted over the decades, otherwise, they are the same as their Northern brethren.
One good thing about collectivism is that it is scared of diseases that spread fast and are deadly. That's why we saw such a strong response in China, Vietnam, South Korea. In society which values individualism, no one cares about the collective and thinks it is not gonna be me therefore very little to nothing is being done about this virus.
Must admit I thought America was way cooler back when I was a kid. The only knowledge I had about America back then was movies and tv shows. Internet managed to spoil that and show me the other side, the poverty, the inequality, ruthlessness of American society. It is better than where I am right now but not much better and at least I do not have to pay 20000 dollars every time I get ill and have to stay in hospital for a few days. Kinda wish UK fucked off sooner and Germany pushed different model for European culture which does not involve anglocentrism at all. By now I would speak German instead of English and that would help easier get a job now when I have EU passport.
