The mystery of South Korea s rise, how did South Korea rise?

There are too many Chinese, and this is the biggest problem.

If Japan, a traditional power, is not counted, South Korea would be the first and only country with a population of 10 million to be officially upgraded from a developing country to a developed country after World War II. You must know that South Korea only has a family background similar to the area and population of Zhejiang Province, and has poor resources, was colonized by Japan for decades in the last century, and now is held by the US military in wartime, so it cannot be regarded as a sovereign country in the full sense. If international competition is like a game of cards, the Koreans will definitely have a bad deck of cards in their hands.

Before the 1988 Seoul Olympics, South Korea seemed to be a small country that received little attention. However, the miracle of 16 days seems to change the fate of this country.

As the first developing country to host the Olympic Games, South Korea has surprised the world. After that, the Olympics were the starting point for South Korea's economic boom, which lasted for more than a decadeFrom 1985 to 1990, South Korea's GDP per capita increased from $2,300 to $6,300, spanning primitive accumulation and completely turning into a newly industrialized country.

The most important thing is that Koreans have seen their own character clearly.

Of course, there is the Korean side hereThere are many historical, social, psychological, cultural and bilateral interaction reasons.

I think there should be at least three points:

First, South Korea's GDP per capita in 2013 was $10,000, making it the only emerging country to successfully overcome the middle-class trap since the end of the Cold War. According to the definition of the World Bank, after the per capita GDP of emerging market countries crosses the poverty trap of 1,000 US dollars, they will enter a period of frequent contradictions accumulated in development, such as economic growth falling or stagnating, democratic chaos, wealth disparity, corruption, excessive urbanization, shortage of social and public services, employment difficulties, social unrest, lack of faith, and fragile financial systems, so that it is difficult for per capita GDP to reach the level of 10,000 US dollars.

Second, South Korea is one of the few countries that make a net profit from the export of cultural industries, which account for about 7% of GDP, while China's is only 2%. The cultural industry has brought positive social vitality and national image, and earned enough positive points for Koreans. The influence of Korean pop**, movies, and TV dramas on Chinese is no less than the tradition of Chinese studies in China.

More importantly, South Korea has also closely integrated popular culture with Confucian traditions, setting a precedent for the marketization of cultural industries that carry forward traditions.

Third, South Korea has a crazy desire and drive to become one of the world's great powers. Few people pay attention to the fact that the current leaders of important international organizations such as the secretary general of the United Nations [Weibo] and the president of the World Bank are the cause of Koreans, and few people pay attention to the fact that South Korea is one of the few countries that has hosted the football World Cup, the Olympic Games, the World Athletics Congress, and the Formula 1 World ChampionshipThe achievements of South Koreans in being active in the international community are enough to make China, which is keen to say "integration into the world", envy.

The rise of South Korea is mainly to use the power of the whole country to develop a number of powerful enterprises, such as Samsung or something.

Actually, I haven't seen the rise of South Korea, but the development is not bad.

Mainly Korean companies are more famous, such as Samsung, Hyundai.

Because they cultivated the chaebol, but now the chaebol is out of control.

It has risen by virtue of the unremitting struggle of the people of its own country.

South Korea is a rare country that has successfully overtaken its industrial strategy, with high-end technology and advanced equipment.

South Korea is also rising through this art, as well as beauty.

The plastic surgery industry in South Korea is still good, so what about development.
