Good point, his email reply got me wondering how familiar he is with Korea and whether he was deliberately tailoring his message for a Korean audience as well.

He talks about not learning from books, not caring about what others think about you, choosing a company based on how they treat you and not how "hot" they are - These are all the complete opposite of what Korea values and the way most Koreans live (book-learning, image-conscious, brand names over personal satisfaction).

I could say the same thing for the culture in Hong Kong or China at large too.
Singapore too..
