"South Koreans already toil more than many of their overseas counterparts. They work an average of 1,915 hours per year, compared with 1,791 hours for Americans and 1,490 hours for the French, who have a 35-hour workweek"

Oh no. Being in France don't know which is more embarassing : thinking that somwhere, someone is expected to work for 69 hours a week or being acounted for the country working the least hours per week and possibly being considered as lazy.

If I invented the croissant I would work a 35 hour work week too. I mean, how are you going to top that?
