Actually a pretty common sentiment among immigrants (beyond Koreans as well)

This mindset has always been puzzling to me since it’s something you see among so many immigrants (not just in Korea but in the West too). I’ve come to the conclusion it’s a kind of “survival” mechanism where you become so desperate to not be seen as an outsider that you take on all the attitudes (including the regressive ones) of the society you’re living in. This is kind of the flip side of the foreigners who live long term in Korea and become isolated and embittered against all things Korean. There’s also a class of foreigner that internalizes everything about Korea (including all the bad stuff) and always goes to bat for the society even if it’s on something really regressive that should change.
