Lost in translation

A puzzling UPI story - I didn't know the agency still existed! - about Koreans increasingly becoming more conservative. All good, except the story really never explains what Korean conservatism exactly is. In my two years there, I was never really sure either. I saw little to convince me that ideology plays a big role in domestic policy-making in Seoul (though all bets are off when it comes to North Korea policy).
