韩国的经济发展计划在20世纪60年代才启动,而在经历了20世纪60年代和90年代显著的经济增长后,韩国就于21世纪将自己定位为发展最快的发达国家之一。尽管历经诸如1997年经济危机(韩国当年不得不依靠国际货币基金组织(IMF)的资助才得以摆脱经济窘境)等的金融困境,韩国依然保持了在当前市场上的经济增长。经济危机后韩国的复苏速度有目共睹,证明韩国人具备军国主义般的动力和执行力,使 South Korea’s economic development plan was only started in the 1960s, and after a remarkable economic growth in the 1960s and 1990s, South Korea positioned itself as one of the fastest-growing developed countries in the 21st century. South Korea has maintained its economic growth in the current market despite financial difficulties such as the economic crisis of 1997 (when South Korea had to rely on the help of the International Monetary Fund to get out of its financial woes) in 1997. After the economic crisis, the speed of recovery in South Korea is obvious to all and it proves that the Koreans have militarism-like motivation and execution.
