A Korean friend of mine living in Japan recently told me that Bitcoin has a very bad reputation in Korea and is associated with illegal things in the mind of the public.

I don't know how accurate that is since this person has been living in Japan for nearly 20 years now.

Interesting. That could be a big part of it.I've also wonder if it's because bitcoin is relatively cheap per coin. I know a Korean who bought ethereum instead of bitcoin because he liked the idea of easily having several of an item. In either case bitcoin definitely seems to have a marketing problem.
