This whole Korean FUD episode is a good reminder that the gov. is beholden to the votes, and not the other way around - at least in democratic countries.
I believe the swift voter outrage in Korea sent a very, very loud message to the political class: Don't even think about messing with this growing industry, or you'll be looking for a new job soon.
Exactly. It's always good to see the people check the government, en-masse, when the government is wrong. If only we could see this happen in the USA. Go Korea!
