1. Wired Culture

The internet is everywhere and a huge percentage of the population uses smartphones.

2. Whipping Out the Plastic

South Koreans have the highest usage of credit cards. Its really interesting that is technically illegal for a merchant to refuse to take credit cards.

3. Workaholics

Koreans are workaholics.

4. Business Boozing

Koreans also love to drink. Companies will take their employees out to eat and alcohol is always involved. Its actually considered rude to refuse to drink. (I always told them that I didn't drink and they would order coke for me).

5. Innovative Cosmetics

6. Female Golfers

4 of the top 10 female golfers are Korean. There are 38 Koreans in the top 100 golfers.

7. Starcraft

8. Flight Attendants

I will agree with this one. I've flown with Korean Air and Asiana and the service was great!!

9. Blind Dates

10. Plastic Surgery

Lots of people take "medical tours" to Korea for plastic surgery. The surgeons are skilled and the price isn't as high as other countries. A facelift in Korea can cost around $2.000-$3,000 compared with $10,000 in the USA.
