Well, that's a bit like saying there's a pro-Chinese vibe in America because so many people have random Chinese letters printed on their shirts or tattooed on their arms. It doesn't really mean anything.

South Korea's well-known love of the US goes back more than half a century. As an American, for me it's mutual, I love South Korea too. My grandfather, having fought in WW2, re-enlisted and volunteered to fight in Korea. He always said the South Koreans were wonderful to him. I think he'd be proud of how amazing their country has become, knowing that putting his life in jeopardy was worth it.
