I found some other Korea tech that has nothing to do with Samsung or LG but it certainly has the edge over the chaebols when it comes to style. There are other Korean sites that demonstrate the long-standing tradition of DIY “Do-it-yourself” thinking in Korea that I have found in many places here, from the neighborhood adjoshi who actually repairs umbrellas to the hand-made recycling carts and sweet potato roasters that one can find out in the street everywhere in Korea.
Though some try to peddle things North Korean as being cool (huh?), maybe there is a future entrepreneur that can harness this sort of DIY ethic as being the real Korean cool. How about fitting a video player inside one of those neat 55-gallon wood stoves that one can find out on the sidewalk during winter?
