I would venture to say alcohol is a great cause of inefficiency in Korea.
In the west, a few people have drinking problems and call in sick. Here, so many people overdrink at night and come into work regardless, being inefficient all day. |

| Koreans spend a lot of time "working." This includes official events: dinners, sporting events, competitions. Lot a lot of time is spent at work but it is not constant work like what we think of in the West. |

| If "working" is defined by waiting around for customers, surfing the Internet for porn, playing Starcraft and just standing around doing eff all, then, yes, Korea is one hardworking nation. |
