All too true, but perhaps before anything else Korea must move beyond “Saewooism” (saeuism \uc0c8\uc6b0\uc774\uc998), the belief that Korea is just a weak victim of the actions of other powers. The term is translated into English as “shrimpism.” Of course it is true that Korea is profoundly influenced by other powers’ decisions. But this fact is so obvious that there is no reason to mention it. Rather it is a good use of Korean’s time to come up with honest and brave proposals for what can be done together.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
