I was watching this Korean show, they made a whole huge deal about a corporation stealing 5 billion won from the public. I literally burst out laughing when I googled the conversion and it's 3.5 mil USD, big corporations here steal that amount in a quarter second just by breathing yet in Korea it's apparently an amount worthy of its own entire show. US is such a fucked oligarchy.
Assuming the show reflects corporate values and isn't just propaganda like US police shows are intended to make the Korean public (and anyone watching from outside of Korea) think that that's how that would be treated.
From what I understand, South Korea's economy is dominated by a small number of mega corps (like Samsung) that try to do pretty much everything.
What show is that?
