I don't know how particular this is to South Korea, or any nation. White collar crime has, at least since the 1980s (very possibly earlier, I simply have no knowledge of the topic whatsoever from before then), been normalized in the wealthy subcultures of industrialized nations. White collar crime kills more people, and does vastly more economic damage, than street crime does and has for a long time. But society looks the other way, and punishes it very little. As a result, it has become so commonplace amongst the wealthy that it would no longer be appropriate to refer to it as deviant behavior. It is normal. (The Teaching Company produced a course called 'Explaining Social Deviance' which had a couple lectures specifically about white collar crime. That's where I learned about such things.)
