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?
