And the South Korean people had grounds for protest. For one thing, South Korea's international competitive advantage was achieved, in large part by keeping labor costs low. The state played a strong role in suppressing wages, outlawing autonomous labor unions and not merely turning a blind eye to industry's use of private thugs as a violent response to labor action but indeed supporting private force against worker protests with assistance from the police and the (South) Korean Central Intelligence Agency.
