SK used to be a shithole, back in like the '60s and '70s it was really a piece of crap. Since then though, they had this national industrial revolution thing and their commerce went way up with multinational companies like samsung, lg, hyundai, kia, daewoo, and so on. So all those industries basically saved the nation, and they were a big exporter of goods for many years.
This year, the korean economy went to shit and their currency is worth much less than the dollar is today (mostly because their exports aren't being bought due to the world economy going to shit) . You get about 700 won to the dollar and you used to get almost a thousand.
So, it's the perfect place to go if you're an american and trying to get a lot for your dollar.
Their economy is bad this year but that doesn't make them by any means a third world country. That's ridiculous. They are an important player in the world market.
and don't go fuck around with 14 year old girls there, you'll get your ass kicked. People (especially family) watch out for each other in Korea. That's why orphans are hated, btw~
