I won't say whom, but I was having lunch with an American who worked
for a Korean games company for a number of years the other day, and
he/she said it was precisely the individualism vs. collective
behavior. He/she cited how when he/she would get invited to do
things while in Korea with his/her co-workers, it was always in huge
groups, for instance. He/she also found it fascinating that even
though there was no formal organization to these groups, people
tended to fall into leadership roles on an ad hoc basis much more
smoothly than tends to be the case in the west. Anyway, it was
interesting.
