Why can't Korea create anything of lasting value?

Why can't Korea create anything of lasting value?
Samsung, LG, and Hyundai dominate the manufacturing business, but there are no international Korean actors, Korean movies, or Korean directors.
There are no superstar Korean authors, chefs or supermodels, and most people would be hard-pressed to name a Korean food other than kimchi.
The only well known Korean video games are second tier MMOs while their e-sports community plays American games. Meanwhile, the K-pop scene seems to have peaked years ago with dancing fat rapper.
Why is this?

>Korean actors

Its the most successful post colonial country that isnt a city state which is pretty impressive. Plus they have prodcued one of the wackiest cults.

>there are no international [...] Korean directors.
Dumb yank. This man LITERALLY invented cinema

Isn't he American though? All the remotely famous Korean actors I can think of were either born or raised in America and speak English.

kek'd at this one

Min-sik Choi

Park Chan-Wook
Bong Joon-Ho
Kim Ki-Duk

lee byung-hun is a legit korean, though

Just because you can't name Korean movies or directors doesn't mean that Korean movies can't be kino as fuck.

Koreans are pretty much just Siberian Japs

>Korean movies
Train to Busan is the best zombie movie I've ever seen. Yanks cannot even compete.

Same applies to former Russian/Soviet puppets like Baltics, Poland, Ukraine

PUBG is a korean game tho.

idk, I think Hollywood was kidnapping actors and their families before him. They used contracts though

>I don't know it therefore it doesn't exist

Oldboy was pretty food.

That being said, it's amazing how Korea lacks a serious literary tradition while being surrounded by countries with great ones.

ArenaNets parent company NCsoft is.
They also did Lineage, City of Heroes, WildStar, Aion, Blade & Soul, and Master X Master.
