The show didnt touch on this... but I have a theory that intense nationalism in South Korea is to a large extent, the product of compulsory military service.

Its just my own theory though and I think its a good idea for a research grant if it hasnt been done (so anyone specializing in Korean or East Asian studies.... you are welcome )
I don't mean to sound too patronizing... but, what does "intense nationalism" imply from your judgement, exactly, and what experience do you have with the Korean culture or people?
