Rico Gagliano: Itaewon, in the city of Seoul, is the kind of tourist district you find in cities all over the world. Not much authentic Korean culture here. Plenty of Burger Kings and Starbucks, though. And plenty of shops selling faux luxury goods.
Gagliano: About what percentage of the stuff that we're seeing out here is fake in some way?
George Geddes: : Oh, close to 99 percent, if not a hundred!
George Geddes is a consultant for the Korean government's Intellectual Property Office. One gray spring morning he agreed to show off his expertise in fake-spotting. We started easy. |
