I would only guess that what Rogue and others meant with inferiority complex was that big & broad = Western = good, and small & thin = Asian = bad.

I don't know what to say about the context of the article. Koreans growing - good or bad? I really don't know. What matters is how they perceive it...

Hmmm, sounds interesting... =o

Maybe it's just because... people are becoming more aware of how to look after themselves/exercise, so are eventually becoming this way?

I don't know, though, I am not clever, so I can't tell.

mausoleatardy is an unknown quantity at this point
lol, the south korean government sounds wacko, would their faces and heads really shrink due to better nutrition? or do they not understand the concept of proportions

so i'm guessing the chinese olympic team who is ranked #2 in the world should also attribute their success to increased similarities in physiology with the west? not a chance

Yea I'm wondering that also, isn't it just proportion, I guess since it's a sign of beauty in Corea to have a small face, they put it like that instead.

It’s all about standard of living and nutrition.

The Dutch at one time were among the shortest in Europe and now they are the tallest.

Since Koreans made the country rise economically and living standard got better thanks to hard-working Koreans (this is something a Korean friend's dad is proud of, and I think this kind of patriotism is cool), maybe people got easier access to meat..? I have no idea what the truth is. Just guessing. If someone here knows how things are over there and why Koreans are getting taller, I would be interested to know.
Again – it’s all about standard of living and nutrition.

While Korea was economically devastated after the Korean War, it wasn’t exactly a wealthy nation before the war.

Young males in Korea presently average about 5’8.5” – an inch less than the average American height.

That’s about 3 inches taller than Korean males in the North.

Otoh, Korean males who grew up in the North prior to the outbreak of the Korean War are TALLER than their Southern counterparts (at the time, the North was more prosperous).
