They seem to be confused as to what constitutes a country.

I think they main conclusion that can be drawn from this is that approximately 30% of Koreans don't care about stupid survey questions.

By "EU" they mean English/irish.
By "U.S" they mean Canada as well.

-is my guess.

The article doesn't mention how many people were surveyed.

Why is it that every survey posted here from a Korean newspaper is rubbish? How hard is it to just employ some basic statistical method?

Hhhhh...

Rubbish.

You can say that again.

Yeah, I guess so.

How about we lump them in with the rest of the Asians?

I bet they would do...even better.

Ha.

"Foreigners prefer Asians to Koreans."

Are you also Korean? You know the UK and England aren't actually one and the same?

For that matter, surely by EU they meant European, not just bloody English/Irish.

The write up in the Korea Times was laughably bad, a bit like the newspaper itself actually.
