most south korean industry is very interesting. if they are anything like samsung, they are extremely well vertically integrated ... more importantly, functionally a subsidiary of the government.
so they have different pressures, and huge advantages in terms of being able to integrate with and use political power in a way no American company can. its very difficult to beat both their competitive market advantage, *and* the fact that they are basically nationalized/socialized and thus have the power of the national government on their side
