In Korean the United States is supposedly referred to as 'the beautiful country'. People scaremonger about how bad social security is there and how you cannot afford to have a stroke of bad luck or you're out which may be the case.
But other than Japan most of our pop culture memories and a lot of science, technology and literature come from America. Even if I'm going to amount to nothing in this life I would rather die as the citizen of a large powerful nation than some nation that's just a faint footprint in history with leaders, intellectuals and events that no one gives a shit about five hundred kilometers away in the east, north, south or west.
