It's sadly not surprising. A lot of the harassment foreign women face in Korea stems from a combination of factors – a lack of exposure to diverse cultures leading to fetishization and objectification, plus a pervasive patriarchal culture that already normalizes disrespectful behavior towards women in general.

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.
