we love south koreans in México! they work hard and create jobs and are very honest. They are welcome here as far as I am concerned. They are a great example on how to get out of poverty. Much respect!
Since my childhood I heard that Japanese are the most hardworking people on this planet. Just think if Koreans itself work this hard. Just imagine how hardworking the Japanese are.
Korea deserves my full respect. A third world country that rose to become one of the most powerful nations in the world. Despite being used and stepped on, Korea did it! I wish more countries can rise as Korea did :/ but sadly it's not the case
@@qinpra As stated in the documentary, Korea was the poorest nation on earth in 1953 (some say the second poorest), behind literally every nation in Asia and Africa.
As a uni student studying in the International Relations major... Korea gives me motivation to learn more and fight for everything... A country where people have the strength to climb out of the depths of despair and emerge victorious at such a fast rate. The world has so much to learn from you. Thank you for giving back and showing the world anything is possible. May you all rejoice your beautiful country and continue to persevere through all challenges that come your way. Lots of love from abroad. 화이팅!
Working hard.is.good but you east asians overdo it, come on man you are gonna die, cant take.things to your grave, try to.aim for dreams.instead of only looking for high finance
+Adrian Jayson Catambay. Problem is there aren't many country alike S. Korea or Germany, some other parts of Europe. The rest of the world need honesty, humble, hard working, truthfulness within instead of corruption, entitlement, cheating, tricks to get ahead in order to develop and grow as nation. There's saying "it takes a village", truthful individual to community and further to nation.
@@heavenhaven7254 Are you serious? South Korea has highest suicide rater in world because of their working culture. 50% elders live in poverty. The same people that build the country. South korea is basically Capitalist dystopia. You dont have family, you work 24hours in a day. People rarely have relationship... No wonder why they just kill themselves.
South Korea is growing every second of the day..my visit there in 2016 shows that SK is the cleanest country now in the world..loving people..learning everyday from foreigners..LOVE YOU SOUTH KOREA..WILL BE BACK SOON!!!!
Truly shows older korean generation sacrificed for the next generation. I love how both, people in government did not cheat and run away with money also ordinary citizens helping and working hard for the sake of their country. Just love it and admire
I'm not Korean, but thinking about all the efforts of individual people through times of despair, it couldn't help but to bring me to tears. That is incredible.
WE! believe in God Almighty. WE have been praying to Yahweh God of Israel to restore our homeland inspite of changing economies worldwide. We believe in God of Heaven and Earth our source of our finances not the U.S,Russia,Japan,China or any other countries. God CAN use any counties around the world to bless this tiny nation with extreme poverty and war stricken country so that they can Live in Blessing. The Christians in Korea Truly believe that including myself.
I am so happy for you my Korean brothers and sisters. You showed the world roses can rise from dumpsters. I feel so close to your struggle and pain. Thanks to your hardworking people, now it is your time to shine and I wouldnt be more happy to witness it. -much love and respect from Turkey
I love you Korea!!!Your hard work and Importance to education has finally paid off .The only way to alleviate poverty can done only through Education and you Koreans proved this narrative to the entire world by taking your country to the next level within a very short time..All the best Korea!!!
Great documentary. I love international, economic, and historical documentaries. The will of the Korean people is strong. If the two Koreas unified, they'd be a superpower. Raw materials and manpower plus a thriving capital system with great management would have enormous potential.
I am from Ethiopia and this documentary inspires me because we are experiencing economic growth and one day will be among one of the strongest economies in the world.
All countries should aspire to get wealthy and have good quality of life. That's the only way to truly achieve peace without wars. I hope your nation can also in near future.
thank you korea! I lived there in the late 90s and taught english :) i was lucky to teach english in Samsung Headquarters in downtown Seoul. I got to visit their Houses of Tomorrow exhibit downstairs and it featured technology that we still haven't achieved here yet. They also had mp3 players at least 2 years before we got the iPod :) i loved my time in korea and the people were amazing and wonderful. the food was top notch too :) mmmmmm mashisoyo! i wish i had known more about the history of korea before i went to teach it would've given me such a great understanding of the people. thank you for this video it explained a lot of what i never knew. :)
Such an amazing story from nothing to everything, I really appreciate the way Korean people did for their development, I hope all the underdeveloped countries can learn from Korea. Love you Korea. Respect from Pakistan.
Bravo! Excellent! We were not aware of how flexible and forward thinking Korea was and how it definitely earned everything it has today. These people are admired the world around! Best of luck
thank you so much for all your contribution to my country. Without your help, I wouldn't be living in a country of freedom. I was born in 1987 and to be honest, I'm not familiar with what this country went through back in the days but this helped me a lot to learn more.
OK. Good Luck with that. BTW, did i mention anything about Dokdo anywhere in my comment? Why are all these extreme Japanese people bashing my comments?
Koreans know who they are and they love their identity. They even managed to fend for themselves for thousands of years with doors being shut to the outside world. Much longer than the Tokugawa of Japan. No wonder why they built their country stronger in a shorter span of time.
Dang, Korea is on a whole other level . This story is golden to Korea's history and I hope Korea continues to strive for its prosperity. The world should hear about this more! message from a fellow algerian
I think Korea is a great beautiful country. I wish them to relax a little bit. All this quick development has caused them to also have the highest rate of suicide in the world. It breaks my heart. Sometimes financial progress is not what a nation needs or what its people need.
The secret to Korea's success is simple. It's hard work and lots of sacrifice of the people who desired to become a strong a wealthy nation. And the leadership though corrupt, had reasonable enough vision and will to move the country forward. That's it. Pure and simple.
No, there are more things in the development. Explain why other poor countries can't help being poor. Geological location, history, unique diligence, and many things that poor countries can't have are very components to develop South Korea. The documentary doesn't reveal all the secrets. Because I'm a Korean and learn about it, I know very well about the secrets.
I don't have words to say South Korea is marvelous Asian people are very hardworking, hope my country fellows see this video and learn their economic model, India got independence 63 years ago and still it is underdeveloped with rampant poverty and unemployment.
The reasons why we have still not developed are widespread corruption, too much socialism and reservation in every sector. We need to find a balance between socialism and capitalism just like Korea did, and curb the rampant corruption from the system. Also the people of Korea are very patriotic as seen from their volunteered contribution to National gold campaign. Such schemes won't work in our country as people lack faith in the government because of the rampant corruption.
I'm sorry but India can never be a Korea, not even a China. Its the same reason why Italy can never be Germany or why Greece can never be Netherlands. Geography and climate affects culture and attitudes. Its not a surprise why South Asian countries aren't as dynamic as East Asian countries although their people may be just as hardworking. Like Italians or Greeks in Europe, Indians don't like to follow rules, just look at the roads as an example. Another more important example is tax avoidance. Just how many percent of the population pay taxes? The keyword here is discipline, not hardwork and the only disciplined outfit that I can find in India is the military. RSS and Modi probably have a dream of transforming India like Japan or the other East Asian economies, that's through large-scale low-end manufacturing but its gonna be very difficult.
lol you need poor people in this world. If everyone was rich like Korea, just imagine the amount of poop produced. We would drown on poop and burn every available resource in years.
cool blizzard Also the people of Korea are very patriotic as seen from their volunteered contribution to National gold campaign// You are right bro. Indian people have around 20000 ton of gold with them. How many would donate incase of emergency is a big doubt.
Morocco CAN. Any country can. If I was a Moroccan and would want to grow the economy, I would consider fishing outside of the country. The beautiful thing about fishery is that you don't have to raise ,feed or take care of them. All you need is huge fishing boats and hardworkiing fishermen who care about other people. Also,Morocco is much larger than South Korea and North Korea combined. That means you can grow fresh fruits and vegetables organically and raise cattles such as Cows,Chickens and Goats that will give you milk,cheese,yogurt and butter. Cherish and Love the land where people dwell and consider honest city planning and develop the cities and small towns respecing the local economy. That is all. Hardwork always pays. Does Morocco also produce Oil?
Korea is one of the best if not the best nation for developing economy and gov’s foresight, even in this covid-19 scenario they still doing well, certainly can see the spirit of this respectful country, my very best wishes to your country from China, wish East Asia can be unified
I'm from North East India, I love Koreans, their movies and lifestyles. Here what I feel is that India one of the discriminated nation between races, caste and diversity. Though India is developing but inequality, rich is going richer but Poors are dying in unemployment. Northeast India seems alike, least industrial developed region of India. I learned here that education is the tool for development, hope one day we would able to rise like Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and Korea.
Hoping the best for our nation. Education is indeed a very powerful tool. The only thing that is dragging India backwards is absymal politics over the pettiest of issues. Our politicians only care about filling their pockets. In terms of public sanitation, hygiene and traffic discipline, Northeast India is much much better than the rest of India. I also wish a better standard of living and better development for the Northeastern people, and the rest of India...
President Lee Myung Bak states in his biography: "at the root of every success lie extreme perseverance and uncompromising principles.... All we had back then were a desperate yearning to live a better life and a fierce sense of urgency". The South Korean people have demonstrated awe-inspiring discipline, the will to sacrifice for the sake of national prosperity, and the sheer determination to achieve success. Their success nowadays is the reflection of these praiseworthy qualities that I am cultivating for my own personal development.
i gotta tell u that nepal is an amazing country i'd like to visit it ever. Don't think like that plz I colonized doent mean a developed country, and South korea is a rivh country COMPARE TO ASIA, korea is still an emerging conomy
It's no wonder why Koreans are very proud of their country and them being Koreans..thru education, hardwork, dedication & discipline SoKor has grown by leaps & bounds and there's no sign of slowing down up to this date..
Its disheartening to realized that Philippines back in the 60's right at the time when Korea started its economic reform is miles away, more improved in terms of economic prowess - even far advanced than singapore. Although Marcos era was pretty much an authoritatian and dictatorian governmen, we can't discount that fact that its economic power and capability is huge. It provided a really strong backbone for the Philippine nation to thrive as a developing nation. It was a nation who have sustained its economic prowess could supposedly become a strong economic powerhouse in south east asia. Then Edsa revolution comes in and the next government after that brought the philippines economic capabilty spiraling down. While Korea are developing its steel industry, Aquino government in the philippines on the other hand were busy enacting its vendetta by going against the project the marcos regime have started. The bataan nuclear power plant which supposedly going to provide a boost on electrical power grid of the country and the steel industry that was given less support which supposedly going to provide the building blocks of industry in this country while giving back control to oligarch family the water, electrical, and media to the control of few people. Instead of supporting established businesses at that time and allowed them to continue most businesses who flourished during the marcos regime were crackdown as a result those businesses went bankrupt and forced to shut down and flee. 1987 institution discourages 100% foreign business ownership as a result it discourages foreign investors and oligarchy and monopoly of industries in the philippines became prevalant as less and less competition. For decades, there is a duopoly of telecommunication industry as a result telecommunication infrastructure is inadequate, service is not good, and internet speed is slow in comparison to south korea and other nation, not until the recent political will of the president duterte came in the 3rd telco. Aquino and Ramos Government was i believe the cause of its downturn. Erap government was just a blimp and a joke. I guess the good thing happened to that era was it being a short lived power giving and pave the way of the Arroyo government. Arroyo government did something we can really be thankful for as why Philippines started to be back on track in its economic development. Although, her vat policy was controversial it was a bitter pill she has to swallow or the country has to swallow along with other economic reforms she had to implement as not only it shielded the country during the 2008 economic crash but it pave the way for industries to develop and continue a rising trend of economic growth later on PNoy was so proud about but he did not actually do anything. It was arroyo who laid the groundwork and in a way it was his administration who reap what arroyo government had sow. Under the Pduterte admin, his build build build program will again propel the nation for economic boom as infrastructure is needed to further allow the nation to be great again - but despite of strong political will and achievements the people who supported behing aquino, ramos, and pnoy are still trying to discredit of what the current president have done and a lot of ridiculous issues despite of the good thing it has done. Issues that is very petty from the presidents blabber mouth to incompetence of its subordinates as if those other people are not incompetent themselves. If not because of covid, the current administration may have able to accomplish so much more than i can say about aquino, ramos, and pnoy combined. The economic growth of the nation is dependent on the character of the people it govern with. This really do hold true down to this day. If only the people voted for the right person to lead the nation and chooses smartly to put politician in key position this nation have all the ability and capability to build a much better economy like south korea.
I admire and love Korea so much ! Upon watching the history of Korea and the "Last Princess of Korea". . . it is God:s blessings, and their determination to embrace love of country to improve and uphold dignity thru economic prowess. . . Soon to visit this beautiful country. . .
Help from other nations, good bets that payed off, luck, and most of all, hard work. Happy that my country, Colombia helped a bit. Hope Korea keeps growing.
I went to South Korea last year and I most say is one of the most advanced and and bueatyfull countrys that I have ever visited like no kidding is like New York but more fun and less chaotic
HamZang Congrats Korea!!! I am happy to know that Korea succed in such a small amount of time. Our country Philippines also support the South Koreans in the Korean war. I was'nt born yet that time but i'm happy my countrymen do their part to contribute. I salute Koreans for being optimistic despite of the bitter past and rose from poverty. I hope our government must do the same. Unlucky that my country goes backwards since good days after worldwar 2 from top to bottom because of corruption in our govenment.
sorry but malaysia can't do something like that thanks to islamic extremism. ur moslem king has destroyed the lives of ppl of malaysia due to which u guys keep on copying saudi culture of wahabism.
...so interesting how the government was the "innovative" engine I would like to know more about S. Korea's smart technology, smart city, mobile apps, cloud, data center developments? Will 2018 (Pyeongchang) be the most technology driving winter olympics?
Now i understand why koreans are so humble and caring i think they are one of the most likeable people. They literally went through hell. Through all generations even young 20-30year olds of today know how hard they had to work to put food on the table. And how hard their parents worked to educate them. Damn, im impressed. They're honest super hard working. Literally living day to day heroes.
I kind of wish my country would've had more struggles to temper and make people more humble and less hostile towards each other. There are so many spoiled adults/brats that take eberything they have for granted and are just a menace to everyone and society making living around them unbearable. Truly this is a life lesson without struggle people don't mature at all.
as a Korean and i am 37. our secret is 3 thing. 1.no dictator- this is most important thing. we were poorer than African countries 60 years ago. and for 70 years we had 3 dictators but we expelled them by pro democracy movement and our blood we fought for freedom. the countries that has dictator will definitely be poor. we are democracy we always select our leader(president) by our hand and we know we are the owner of this countries we have right to chooae our leader. 2.working hard. this is basic 3. free of religion-i know most countries have religious problem but our government learned from American government everything like politics administrations. so we selected religion free like America.
When looking at the process of economic development in Korea, which is often referred to as ‘the miracle of the Han River,’ the most crucial factor that led to economic success was the establishment of the second Five-Year Economic Development Plan (1967-1971). When it comes to Korea’s economic relationship with Japan after diplomatic normalization in 1965, as many experts have pointed out, it is clear that Japan played an important role in triggering Korea’s compressed economic development through Japan’s ODA to Korea, trade expansion, and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) by Japanese firms. When Seoul and Tokyo signed the Treaty on Basic Relations between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan, it was agreed that the Japanese government would provide financial aid to Korea including grant aid of $300 million, loan aid of $200 million, and commercial loans of $300 million. The Korean government decided to invest $120 million out of $500 million (combined grant loan and loan aid) into the construction of Pohang Steelworks which was Korea’s leading steel maker. In this process Japanese steel makers such as Yawata Steel

It was a big question mark for me how SK is excelling in almost everything now: phones/technology, skin care/make up, entertainment, cars...and a lot more. Maybe because they are not complacent for what they have achieved rather they continue to improve and innovate. They put excellence in what they do Their products are of good quality... they're after the quality not just quantity. i seldom hear fake products.. sometimes when it's a fake korean products, they are made from China. Also, their artists, before they launch them they go through a long and heavy training. Even their phones, they keep on innovating and never gets complacent, unlike Nokia that was once the leader in phone innovation. Their love and respect for their country plays a big role too. Regardless how popular they are, all korean men are required to go through military training; this foster discipline and nationalism. They love and support their own but at the same time they are open to what they can learn from other countries and go beyond what they learn. Most of all, i think, there are less corrupt public officials in SK.
i am korean. in korea ...some people says "pak jung hee is hero!" some people says "dictator". i think both are right.... he make korea developed country and he killed democracy and his political rival. Figuratively speaking, he is....angry mom. "study more more!!!!" so i studied hard by force , and then i went to good university , got a good job . i became rich. but i have some mental disease...
You can be a dictator and be a good leader. People are like children, you need to be strict and firm and make them what they should do, not what they want to do for the greater good.
Amazing development...Korea got independence (15th Aug 1945) just 2 years before the India independence (15th Aug 1947) but amazing development and Korea became developed country 20 years back... But still India is developing country 😞😞😞... Hats off and my sincere salute to Korean people for their sacrifice for their next generation and very honest people... I love so much Koreans...

That's because of they are close distance with Japan, who already advanced in manufacturing before, during and after WW2. Samsung and Hyundai have a close ties with Japanese company in their early days. Japan, and US, help developed both S.Korea and China as part of its reparation during the WW2 while stabilizing the region in the process. But most of the help is hush up by ROK and PRC gov because Japanese never properly apologize over their atrocities during the war.
If you have rich neighbours it gives you a boost in economy , the usa and britain bombed and destroyed one muslim country after another this is why we are not developed
Japan, too is a lovely civilized country and people are polite and gentle. But here, I see all mean-spirited and jealous comments spewed are mostly by Japanese. I hope their Shinto God teach them not to be two faced and kind to its neighbor.
There are some good reasons why many Japanese are skeptical about South Korean economic success. Look at the late news about Samsung Galaxy Note7 explosion or Hanjin Shipping's collapse. Those cases are just the tip of the iceberg.
In the 1960s... Pakistan helped craft S. Korea's economic plan. However, all credit goes to their hardwork and dedication for a prosperous future, and they got it! Love from Pakistan !
Koreans must have a good heart and a good work ethic. My neighbors mother is Korean and I wish I had more neighbors like him. We help each other as needed and he volunteers when he sees a need. He is also a Christian. are there many Christians in Korea?
Pack Tae-jun who Former Chairman of POSCO said, "This budget is blood money of our ancestors. If we fail, turn toward the sea and just drown in there." Then all workers, including Pack himself, worked really hard even didn't sleep well. That's the reason of success.
They grew and focused on growing core sectors. In such a scenario the supporting services and hardware sectors blossom. The recent growth in India is down mainly to services and the core sectors are in doldrums. Thus the disparity in India.

Many parts of our economy now rely on China. Also in the aspect of culture exports including Kpop. Tourists visiting our country from China are also very large. We Koreans surely know and are amazed how fast China is growing. Hope we can cooperate in many ways in the future as well just like we were in the past !
UNITED KOREA Agreed. The pan-Asia-Europe super-rail project plan can bring wonder and fortune to many Asian and European countries in the future. Wish world's economy can be elevated to next level. Also the world society will be more friendly, peaceful and prosperous.
UNITED KOREA If Pan-Asia-Europe Super-rail Project is the far-reaching right hand, then the new Asian Infra-Structure Investment Bank is the powerful left hand. Glad to see S Korea joining AIIB as a founding member.
Amazing what a nation can achieve with good leadership that plays it's cards right. Really impressive! A great example for others to follow. I hope I can visit South Korea someday. I would like to experience this remarkable people first hand.

Samsung is the largest foreign investor in the US. While TSMC making billions from the US, they didn't invest $1 into the US until they caused chip shortage by sending their shipment to China and Japan first using Chinese middleman. While Samsung invested tens of billions building chip factory in Austin, Texas since 1996 with hiring 20,000 employees in the US.
Education part is correct. I remember when i was young my family lived in basement room so we even cannot see the sun much, and that age Korea seoul was not much developed so when rain was falling our room was sinked by water sometimes. But i remember even my father's income was only 240Dollors per month, i could well educated by their's sacrifice. Sometimes when i feel life is hard, i always remember my youth day, and get a confidence that hardtimes could be overcomed.
Thank you Mr. Park for changing our nation. You brought Korea out of crippling poverty and rampant corruption to one of the wealthiest nations in Asia and in the world. People may accuse you for human rights abuses today but the older generations, who lived through post war hell, never forgot your contributions to our country and still regard you as the best president in ROK history.
AkoSiJhioh Yes he did use Japanese money but Japan was not the only country that helped Korea prosper. He got tons of shit from the Korean public for that. I don't blame him though since the US withdrew foreign aid and put Korea in a very desperate situation. Japan was only a small part of the aid while West Germany and the US (Vietnam War) made much more significant contributions to the Korean economy and strengthened Korea against the commies up North PS: Just because Japan partially contributed to Korean development does not give atonement for the crimes it has committed in the Korean peninsula during WW2
Andrew Cho Japan's intent was to compensate, not help develop Korea. I wish Japan and Korea can just get along. While the governments fight, let's help the other country's citizens prosper and just love. Spread the loooove. luuuvvv
The first president of the Republic of Korea, Sung Man Rhee sent nearly 20 thousand students to US who came back with PhD' s in engineering, science and math who later helped fuel the high tech industry. In fact, Daeduk Valley (research cluster) near the city of Daejon has the highest concentrate of PhD's in the world.
China is actually investing billions and billions to the African infrastructure. so I think South Korea should do the same. as a matter of fact, Japan is competing with China for investments in Africa.
their government and its people has only one vision that is their secret...African countries as well as other countries that are poor have a corrupted minds that's why they will always be poor

+Adrian Jayson Catambay. Problem is there aren't many country alike S. Korea or Germany, some other parts of Europe.

There's saying "it takes a village", truthful individual to community and further to nation.

South Korea is growing every second of the day..my visit there in 2016 shows that SK is the cleanest country now in the world..loving people..learning everyday from foreigners..LOVE YOU SOUTH KOREA..WILL BE BACK SOON!!!!
Truly shows older korean generation sacrificed for the next generation. I love how both, people in government did not cheat and run away with money also ordinary citizens helping and working hard for the sake of their country. Just love it and admire
I'm not Korean, but thinking about all the efforts of individual people through times of despair, it couldn't help but to bring me to tears. That is incredible.
It's amazing how Korea went against probabilities and they succeeded. Infinite admiration for South Korea!!!
WE! believe in God Almighty.
WE have been praying to Yahweh God of Israel to restore our homeland inspite of changing economies worldwide.
We believe in God of Heaven and Earth our source of our finances not the U.S,Russia,Japan,China or any other countries.
God CAN use any counties around the world to bless this tiny nation with extreme poverty and war stricken country so that they can Live in Blessing.
The Christians in Korea Truly believe that including myself.
I am so happy for you my Korean brothers and sisters. You showed the world roses can rise from dumpsters. I feel so close to your struggle and pain. Thanks to your hardworking people, now it is your time to shine and I wouldnt be more happy to witness it. -much love and respect from Turkey
I love you Korea!!!Your hard work and Importance to education has finally paid off .The only way to alleviate poverty can done only through Education and you Koreans proved this narrative to the entire world by taking your country to the next level within a very short time..All the best Korea!!!
Great documentary. I love international, economic, and historical documentaries. The will of the Korean people is strong. If the two Koreas unified, they'd be a superpower. Raw materials and manpower plus a thriving capital system with great management would have enormous potential.
Nice to see you here sir!
I am from Ethiopia and this documentary inspires me because we are experiencing economic growth and one day will be among one of the strongest economies in the world.
Yes any nation can achieve this.
All countries should aspire to get wealthy and have good quality of life. That's the only way to truly achieve peace without wars. I hope your nation can also in near future.

message from a fellow algerian
I think Korea is a great beautiful country. I wish them to relax a little bit. All this quick development has caused them to also have the highest rate of suicide in the world. It breaks my heart. Sometimes financial progress is not what a nation needs or what its people need.
The secret to Korea's success is simple. It's hard work and lots of sacrifice of the people who desired to become a strong a wealthy nation. And the leadership though corrupt, had reasonable enough vision and will to move the country forward. That's it. Pure and simple.
No, there are more things in the development. Explain why other poor countries can't help being poor. Geological location, history, unique diligence, and many things that poor countries can't have are very components to develop South Korea. The documentary doesn't reveal all the secrets. Because I'm a Korean and learn about it, I know very well about the secrets.
Well, of course, there were very devastating situations that other countries didn't have.

I don't have words to say South Korea is marvelous Asian people are very hardworking, hope my country fellows see this video and learn their economic model, India got independence 63 years ago and still it is underdeveloped with rampant poverty and unemployment.
My wishes to India. May it become prosperous in the very near future. Sometimes it takes a little longer but it will only get better.
The reasons why we have still not developed are widespread corruption, too much socialism and reservation in every sector. We need to find a balance between socialism and capitalism just like Korea did, and curb the rampant corruption from the system. Also the people of Korea are very patriotic as seen from their volunteered contribution to National gold campaign. Such schemes won't work in our country as people lack faith in the government because of the rampant corruption.
I'm sorry but India can never be a Korea, not even a China. Its the same reason why Italy can never be Germany or why Greece can never be Netherlands. Geography and climate affects culture and attitudes.
Its not a surprise why South Asian countries aren't as dynamic as East Asian countries although their people may be just as hardworking. Like Italians or Greeks in Europe, Indians don't like to follow rules, just look at the roads as an example. Another more important example is tax avoidance. Just how many percent of the population pay taxes?
The keyword here is discipline, not hardwork and the only disciplined outfit that I can find in India is the military. RSS and Modi probably have a dream of transforming India like Japan or the other East Asian economies, that's through large-scale low-end manufacturing but its gonna be very difficult.
lol you need poor people in this world. If everyone was rich like Korea, just imagine the amount of poop produced. We would drown on poop and burn every available resource in years.
cool blizzard Also the people of Korea are very patriotic as seen from their volunteered contribution to National gold campaign// You are right bro. Indian people have around 20000 ton of gold with them. How many would donate incase of emergency is a big doubt.
respect from morocco, i wish our country would learn from your experience
Morocco CAN.
Any country can.
If I was a Moroccan and would want to grow the economy, I would consider fishing outside of the country. The beautiful thing about fishery is that you don't have to raise ,feed or take care of them. All you need is huge fishing boats and hardworkiing fishermen who care about other people. Also,Morocco is much larger than South Korea and North Korea combined. That means you can grow fresh fruits and vegetables organically and raise cattles such as Cows,Chickens and Goats that will give you milk,cheese,yogurt and butter. Cherish and Love the land where people dwell and consider honest city planning and develop the cities and small towns respecing the local economy.
That is all. Hardwork always pays.
Does Morocco also produce Oil?

I'm from North East India, I love Koreans, their movies and lifestyles. Here what I feel is that India one of the discriminated nation between races, caste and diversity. Though India is developing but inequality, rich is going richer but Poors are dying in unemployment. Northeast India seems alike, least industrial developed region of India. I learned here that education is the tool for development, hope one day we would able to rise like Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and Korea.
Hoping the best for our nation. Education is indeed a very powerful tool. The only thing that is dragging India backwards is absymal politics over the pettiest of issues. Our politicians only care about filling their pockets. In terms of public sanitation, hygiene and traffic discipline, Northeast India is much much better than the rest of India. I also wish a better standard of living and better development for the Northeastern people, and the rest of India...
@@ArghyadeepPal not only politics...nd also We don't have discipline..we didn't follow the rules....no dedication...we only think about ourselves....
President Lee Myung Bak states in his biography: "at the root of every success lie extreme perseverance and uncompromising principles.... All we had back then were a desperate yearning to live a better life and a fierce sense of urgency".
The South Korean people have demonstrated awe-inspiring discipline, the will to sacrifice for the sake of national prosperity, and the sheer determination to achieve success. Their success nowadays is the reflection of these praiseworthy qualities that I am cultivating for my own personal development.

It's no wonder why Koreans are very proud of their country and them being Koreans..thru education, hardwork, dedication & discipline SoKor has grown by leaps & bounds and there's no sign of slowing down up to this date..
It's such an eye opening story of success not only for the whole world but also for the personal growth .
Its disheartening to realized that Philippines back in the 60's right at the time when Korea started its economic reform is miles away, more improved in terms of economic prowess - even far advanced than singapore. Although Marcos era was pretty much an authoritatian and dictatorian governmen, we can't discount that fact that its economic power and capability is huge. It provided a really strong backbone for the Philippine nation to thrive as a developing nation. It was a nation who have sustained its economic prowess could supposedly become a strong economic powerhouse in south east asia. Then Edsa revolution comes in and the next government after that brought the philippines economic capabilty spiraling down. While Korea are developing its steel industry, Aquino government in the philippines on the other hand were busy enacting its vendetta by going against the project the marcos regime have started. The bataan nuclear power plant which supposedly going to provide a boost on electrical power grid of the country and the steel industry that was given less support which supposedly going to provide the building blocks of industry in this country while giving back control to oligarch family the water, electrical, and media to the control of few people. Instead of supporting established businesses at that time and allowed them to continue most businesses who flourished during the marcos regime were crackdown as a result those businesses went bankrupt and forced to shut down and flee. 1987 institution discourages 100% foreign business ownership as a result it discourages foreign investors and oligarchy and monopoly of industries in the philippines became prevalant as less and less competition. For decades, there is a duopoly of telecommunication industry as a result telecommunication infrastructure is inadequate, service is not good, and internet speed is slow in comparison to south korea and other nation, not until the recent political will of the president duterte came in the 3rd telco. Aquino and Ramos Government was i believe the cause of its downturn. Erap government was just a blimp and a joke. I guess the good thing happened to that era was it being a short lived power giving and pave the way of the Arroyo government. Arroyo government did something we can really be thankful for as why Philippines started to be back on track in its economic development. Although, her vat policy was controversial it was a bitter pill she has to swallow or the country has to swallow along with other economic reforms she had to implement as not only it shielded the country during the 2008 economic crash but it pave the way for industries to develop and continue a rising trend of economic growth later on PNoy was so proud about but he did not actually do anything. It was arroyo who laid the groundwork and in a way it was his administration who reap what arroyo government had sow. Under the Pduterte admin, his build build build program will again propel the nation for economic boom as infrastructure is needed to further allow the nation to be great again - but despite of strong political will and achievements the people who supported behing aquino, ramos, and pnoy are still trying to discredit of what the current president have done and a lot of ridiculous issues despite of the good thing it has done. Issues that is very petty from the presidents blabber mouth to incompetence of its subordinates as if those other people are not incompetent themselves. If not because of covid, the current administration may have able to accomplish so much more than i can say about aquino, ramos, and pnoy combined. The economic growth of the nation is dependent on the character of the people it govern with. This really do hold true down to this day. If only the people voted for the right person to lead the nation and chooses smartly to put politician in key position this nation have all the ability and capability to build a much better economy like south korea.
"Without adventure there could be no growth" so true and wise, on so many levels!
I admire and love Korea so much ! Upon watching the history of Korea and the "Last Princess of Korea". . . it is God:s blessings, and their determination to embrace love of country to improve and uphold dignity thru economic prowess. . . Soon to visit this beautiful country. . .

Will 2018 (Pyeongchang) be the most technology driving winter olympics?
Now i understand why koreans are so humble and caring i think they are one of the most likeable people. They literally went through hell. Through all generations even young 20-30year olds of today know how hard they had to work to put food on the table. And how hard their parents worked to educate them. Damn, im impressed. They're honest super hard working. Literally living day to day heroes.
I kind of wish my country would've had more struggles to temper and make people more humble and less hostile towards each other.

Awesome documentary. Respect earned.
as a Korean and i am 37. our secret is 3 thing.
1.no dictator- this is most important thing. we were poorer than African countries 60 years ago. and for 70 years we had 3 dictators but we expelled them by pro democracy movement and our blood we fought for freedom. the countries that has dictator will definitely be poor. we are democracy we always select our leader(president) by our hand and we know we are the owner of this countries we have right to chooae our leader.
2.working hard. this is basic
3. free of religion-i know most countries have religious problem but our government learned from American government everything like politics administrations. so we selected religion free like America.
When looking at the process of economic development in Korea,
which is often referred to as ‘the miracle of the Han River,’
the most crucial factor that led to economic success was the
establishment of the second Five-Year Economic Development
Plan (1967-1971). When it comes to Korea’s economic
relationship with Japan after diplomatic normalization in 1965,
as many experts have pointed out, it is clear that Japan played
an important role in triggering Korea’s compressed economic
development through Japan’s ODA to Korea, trade expansion,
and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) by Japanese firms.
When Seoul and Tokyo signed the Treaty on Basic Relations
between the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan, it was agreed
that the Japanese government would provide financial aid to
Korea including grant aid of $300 million, loan aid of $200
million, and commercial loans of $300 million. The Korean
government decided to invest $120 million out of $500 million
(combined grant loan and loan aid) into the construction of
Pohang Steelworks which was Korea’s leading steel maker.
In this process Japanese steel makers such as Yawata Steel
Development of korean is very great to be inspiring for many countries
This documentry is a fireball of motivation. Even the music is so motivating.
God bless South Korea:)
The reason of succesive korea economic is sacrifice, challenge, vision.

It was a big question mark for me how SK is excelling in almost everything now: phones/technology, skin care/make up, entertainment, cars...and a lot more. Maybe because they are not complacent for what they have achieved rather they continue to improve and innovate. They put excellence in what they do Their products are of good quality... they're after the quality not just quantity. i seldom hear fake products.. sometimes when it's a fake korean products, they are made from China. Also, their artists, before they launch them they go through a long and heavy training. Even their phones, they keep on innovating and never gets complacent, unlike Nokia that was once the leader in phone innovation. Their love and respect for their country plays a big role too. Regardless how popular they are, all korean men are required to go through military training; this foster discipline and nationalism. They love and support their own but at the same time they are open to what they can learn from other countries and go beyond what they learn. Most of all, i think, there are less corrupt public officials in SK.

Except that China's is a farce to say the least
All under authoritarian rule. Even Singapore.
That's because of they are close distance with Japan, who already advanced in manufacturing before, during and after WW2. Samsung and Hyundai have a close ties with Japanese company in their early days. Japan, and US, help developed both S.Korea and China as part of its reparation during the WW2 while stabilizing the region in the process. But most of the help is hush up by ROK and PRC gov because Japanese never properly apologize over their atrocities during the war.
Korea and China.

Japan, too is a lovely civilized country and people are polite and gentle. But here, I see all mean-spirited and jealous comments spewed are mostly by Japanese. I hope their Shinto God teach them not to be two faced and kind to its neighbor.
There are some good reasons why many Japanese are skeptical about South Korean economic success. Look at the late news about Samsung Galaxy Note7 explosion or Hanjin Shipping's collapse. Those cases are just the tip of the iceberg.
I think mean-spirited comments are from North Korean red army who specialized to fight on the internet line, namely cyber red warriors.

Korea has been working very hard for decades. They deserve the success to-day.
Few months ago, China and South Korea signed FTA which will help Korean exports to China immensely e.g. without the tariffs, Korean cars to China can save 22% cost.. Another positive data for countries like Korea trading with China. It is estimated that China's middle-class population will reach 500 - 800 millions in 2020 to 2025. Korea will rocket as close neighbor China become world's largest consumer market.
Many parts of our economy now rely on China. Also in the aspect of culture exports including Kpop. Tourists visiting our country from China are also very large. We Koreans surely know and are amazed how fast China is growing. Hope we can cooperate in many ways in the future as well just like we were in the past !

Amazing what a nation can achieve with good leadership that plays it's cards right. Really impressive! A great example for others to follow. I hope I can visit South Korea someday. I would like to experience this remarkable people first hand.
Such an inspirational video. "Korea evolved from aid recipient to aid donor" hope India adopts Korea's methods for devolopment.
Thank you!

Didn't Apple pirate Samsung as well? Apple copied Lg Prada which was the first touch phone in the world. Yes the truth is always hurt but how can you fix your ignorance and stupidity?
We all receive help. Few rise with it. South Korea is a wonderful example of people who received that help and elevated their nation with it.

it is very interesting theory that Korean companies only received help from other non companies when developing their technology and emerging as one of the major powers. Japanese companies received a lot of help from Europe when developing cars. What about now? Apple iphones are using parts from Samsung and Lg and other Japanese companies. We do help each other!! That's the truth!
+grillodisciple47 lol change of mind? fucktard
+grillodisciple47 Americans contributed no money into South Korea's economic development. Stop talking out of your ass, stupid Yankee and Yankee, go home!
True inspiration, love to Korea from India.
Incredible Korea keep it up , hope that you will reunite with North Korea and be even more stronger and richer .

Samsung is the largest foreign investor in the US. While TSMC making billions from the US, they didn't invest $1 into the US until they caused chip shortage by sending their shipment to China and Japan first using Chinese middleman. While Samsung invested tens of billions building chip factory in Austin, Texas since 1996 with hiring 20,000 employees in the US.
Great country..
#inspiration salute to ur špirit.
Education part is correct. I remember when i was young my family lived in basement room so we even cannot see the sun much, and that age Korea seoul was not much developed so when rain was falling our room was sinked by water sometimes. But i remember even my father's income was only 240Dollors per month, i could well educated by their's sacrifice. Sometimes when i feel life is hard, i always remember my youth day, and get a confidence that hardtimes could be overcomed.
but korean economy is on its knees.but korean can overcome this crisis.
Thank you Mr. Park for changing our nation. You brought Korea out of crippling poverty and rampant corruption to one of the wealthiest nations in Asia and in the world. People may accuse you for human rights abuses today but the older generations, who lived through post war hell, never forgot your contributions to our country and still regard you as the best president in ROK history.
Park Chung Hee used Japanese compensation money to boost Korea's economy.
AkoSiJhioh Yes he did use Japanese money but Japan was not the only country that helped Korea prosper. He got tons of shit from the Korean public for that. I don't blame him though since the US withdrew foreign aid and put Korea in a very desperate situation. Japan was only a small part of the aid while West Germany and the US (Vietnam War) made much more significant contributions to the Korean economy and strengthened Korea against the commies up North
PS: Just because Japan partially contributed to Korean development does not give atonement for the crimes it has committed in the Korean peninsula during WW2
Andrew Cho Japan's intent was to compensate, not help develop Korea. I wish Japan and Korea can just get along. While the governments fight, let's help the other country's citizens prosper and just love. Spread the loooove. luuuvvv
Not until Japan apologizes and recognises their own ancestral heritage
Park Chung Hee was Japanese officer
The first president of the Republic of Korea, Sung Man Rhee sent nearly 20 thousand students to US who came back with PhD' s in engineering, science and math who later helped fuel the high tech industry. In fact, Daeduk Valley (research cluster) near the city of Daejon has the highest concentrate of PhD's in the world.
Is there any article that mentions this , that's interesting but I can't find it online
African countries should watch this education is only way.
The problem is there leadership and the educated people who leave don't help
I agree we have so much natural resources. But poor leaders.
China is actually investing billions and billions to the African infrastructure. so I think South Korea should do the same. as a matter of fact, Japan is competing with China for investments in Africa.
their government and its people has only one vision that is their secret...African countries as well as other countries that are poor have a corrupted minds that's why they will always be poor
totally agree !
