I've always found the dissonance with South Korea very intresting. Many people--including self professed fans of the country--are wholly unaware of how far right the country is, and how generally conservative their culture is. I often see this dissonance in individuals who themselves are left or very left, and support only those policies, yet love South Korea and its perceived culture. It's bewildering, to say the least.
