Only foreigners have fake degrees in Korea. Even if these stories were true, which they are not, the ideas of forging a degree, plagiarism and cheating on tests were introduced by western societies anyway.

As in, "Maybe they did; maybe they didn't -- but I don't care anymore. Let's put more emphasis on a person's character than his degree. Really, I don't want to hear anymore about where a Korean studied. It's lost any meaning here.
