The following post is the original English language version of a story I wrote for Newsweek Japan(relevant issue to the left) a few weeks ago on the South Korean.
I wrote a story about the South Korean MERS panic for this week’s Newsweek Japan (available here). Basically, I make the same argument as my friend Se-Woong Koo from Korea Expose(which you really need to start reading). The panic shows just how much South Korea needs to get its act together on public safety and competence in government.
