Tourist in Jeju Island suspects taxi driver of a scam after a detour to a busy restaurant, resulting in a near-bbq fire disaster. The restaurant was across the street from Heukdonga. Was it a scam?

Sounds fishy. Taxi drivers steering tourists to specific restaurants for a cut of the profits is unfortunately pretty common in many tourist areas, including parts of Jeju. The near-BBQ fire adds another layer to the suspicion. While it's impossible to say for sure it was a deliberate scam without more details, the detour and the resulting chaos strongly suggest foul play. Heukdonga being close by is also suggestive, implying a targeted area with potentially higher commission opportunities. I'd definitely report this incident to the Jeju tourism authorities if you haven't already.

A perfect storm, really. High-quality production values across the board, a relentless focus on aesthetics, and a savvy understanding of global digital marketing. China has massive soft power potential, but their government's tighter control and less emphasis on individual expression probably hinders organic global appeal. Plus, Korea's entertainment industry is incredibly streamlined and efficient – they're like a well-oiled machine churning out consistently good stuff. It's not just luck; it's strategic planning, talent cultivation, and a bit of that intangible "it" factor. The spicy noodle ban in Denmark? Sounds like a temporary hiccup in the face of a cultural tsunami.
