韩国领先的十件事(下)
10 things South Korea does better than anywhere else(I)回顾
6. Female golfers
The Economist posed a million-dollar question earlier this year.
Why are Korean women so good at golf?
The rankings are staggering.
Of the top 100 female golfers in the world, 38 are Korean. Of the top 10, four are Korean.
Inbee Park, 25, is the top-ranked player in womens golf and was the youngest player to win the U.S. Womens Open.
In January, Lydia Ko, 14, set the record for the youngest woman to ever win a professional golf tournament.
Chalk it up to crazy Korean competitiveness or to the Tiger Mom/Dad theory (golfer Se-Ri Paks father is infamous for making her sleep alone in a cemetery every night to steel her nerves), but the phenomenon certainly begs study.
Widely thought to be a response to Korean domination of the sport, the U.S.-based LPGA passed a requirement in 2008 mandating that its members must learn to speak English, or face suspension.
7. Starcraft
One countrys hopeless nerds are among anothers highest earning celebrities.
Starcraft is actually a legitimate career in South Korea, with pro gamers raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in earnings in addition to endorsements.
Since the game launched in 1998, nearly half of all games have been sold in South Korea, where boys, girls, men and women drop by for a night of gaming in giant video game parlors.
There are cable channels devoted solely to the games, and the culture has led to approximately 14% of Koreans between ages 9 and 12 suffering from Internet addiction, according to the National Information Agency.
To try to crack down, the government passed a ban dubbed the shutdown law or Cinderella law two years ago, prohibiting anyone 16 and younger from game websites. The ban has been widely ignored.
8. Flight attendants
Flight attendants from airlines around the world come to Korean airlines training centers to learn proper airborne charm.
