The more I read about South Korea, the more I am convinced it's one of these countries where societal development did not follow economic development - along with e.g. United States. Lack of respect, empathy, trust, etc. can be expected in poor countries where each is on their own, labor is not as valuable, and some resort to unethical means to survive. But in countries which there's enough money floating around - absence of these values is a moral failure of the society.
