I think its a good idea. Any upstanding citizen shouldn't have a problem with it. I went to Japan for 2 days last year and I had to get fingerprinted and photographed at the airport. I think the people who would have a problem are those who know they are doing something wrong. These days there are so many technological advances and people know how to make fake passports, but now they can get caught. You can't fake fingerprints. Everyone has unique fingerprints. They can run it through the system and find you.

Starting in August all foreigners entering Korea will be fingerprinted and photographed.
They are hoping to stop foreigners who committed crimes in the country and were deported from entering the country again on a different passport. They want to prevent foreigners from entering on forged passports.
Foreigners may be denied entry if they refuse to be fingerprinted and have their photographs taken at airport immigration.
An estimated 2,000 foreigners deported for offences including visa violations reenter Korea every year with disguised identities.
