Here is a beautiful video about South Korea. But in my opinion, it could also work as a 5 min pitch by the Korean Inc. to the world out there. It very nicely puts together some  important highlights of Korea:

• Host of the 24th Summer Olympics Games in 1998
• Co-host of the FIFA World Cup Korea / Japan in 2002
• World’s first emerging nation to host the G20 Summit
• Free trade agreements with 45 nations
• Performed robotic surgery with renowned surgeons which was broadcast live on four continents
• World’s most networked country
• Officially launched the Global Green Growth Institute
• Korea has around 27 leading green technologies
• The world’s first aid recipient country to join the Development Assistance Committee of OECD
• Over a century ago, Korea had been often referred to as the Hermit Kingdom. But overcoming war and poverty the Korean people turned despair into hope
• Korea is now the Miracle of the Han River
• South Korea is to host 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang

Watch it to get a better understanding of why the world is gearing towards Korea? What makes South Korea stand out?

Here is a transcribe of the video above, just in case you are not able to view the video because of firewall or bandwidth issues.

• The Republic of Korea is filled with people driven by dreams and aspirations for a better life
• Koreans have come a long way over the past century and their achievements are impressive
• We strive to wakeup just a bit earlier every morning. Diligence. Yes, one of our most valued assets.
• In the face of poverty and war, Koreans pooled together and worked even much harder.
• Now we can tell the world with confidence that we are Koreans.
• We are what you’d call Early Adopters.
• We are very keen on new technology and trends, so when international cooperations launch their new products they play close attention to what we think.
• Our taste for new things unites us with the world at large.
• We welcome new changes and enjoy challenges, thats how we get a headstart on realizing value going forward.
• Our world faces an environmental crisis and climate change. And many countries today are coming to Korea for help.
• They want to learn about our age-old philosophies on living in harmony with nature. They seek our wisdom in blending the old with the new.
• When our paths meet, our sounds become new sounds and old flavors are transformed into new ones.
• We work late into the night on the quest to set the latest beauty standards.
• We have explosive energy coursing through our veins.
• We want to serve as a role model for the young generation.
• We are a beautiful collage of a youthful passion.
• Koreans are accustomed to living together and thats why they prefer to use We over I in their speech.
• Their compassion for and consideration for others, extend outwards to the world at large.
• We prefer mutual assistance rather than unilateral aid. This co-incides with our dream to make the world a happier place.
