Koreans have always suffered at the hands of Japanese, Chinese, and various foreign powers. It's not easy for them to forget the years of abuse by Japanese imperialists. In fact, my granfather was a POW (Prisoner Of War)(POW refers to Japanese prisoners of war) and he's always cursing the Japanese for forcing him to work in the prisoner of war camps. He still all these scars from whips on his back, and he never received compensation. I can understand why Koreans hate foreign powers who look down on them as underdeveloped.

Not important, as I think the whole issue is pathetic, but thought that I would throw in my 2 cents.

Just to be clear since it's your blog, I live in Korea and have no interest in just bashing Koreans. I root for the home team, but so often I've seem them drop the ball (sorry for extended sports metaphor...).

I mean, face it, xenophobic, protectionist South Korea trying to be the "business hub" of Asia is like Saudi Arabia vowing to become the nude sunbathing capital of the Indian Ocean or the United States declaring itself a handgun free country. This is an aspiration that is diametrically opposed to everything Korea has stood for. It is the “big picture” I worry about.

I think that if the South Korean government can get its economic policies straight AND the geopolitical situation becomes somewhat more conducive, those plans can (but not necessarily will) work out, regardless of some of the antics pulled by some (and I stress "some") sectors of the population. That's not to say that these issues needn't be worked on - they probably need correcting eventually - but frankly, I'm just not sure how important they are when you look at the big picture. Besides, from what I understand, many of these problems are just as apparent in many of Korea's biggest competitors.

Last week there was a protest that cell phone operators were "excessively" competing for customers. WTF? This week it's publish stamps with some disputed rocks on them to get the Japanese going, then attack them for reacting. Mr. Marmot, you say Koreans shouldn't care about their "brand image," and I agree with you, but then tell their government to forget "hub of Asia" and "free economic zones for foreign corporations" while the people do their damndest to sabotage these ambitions.
