Park is said to enjoy playing baduk, the Korean version of go as much as playing around with rifts on the piano. That love of strategic thinking is evident in his keen observations of popular culture; Park apparently sees the global cultural terrain as though it were a baduk board.
“I believe three factors have contributed to the success of the Korean culture wave,” Park explained to Chosun Daily. “First, Korea has a great capacity for absorbing U.S. culture. In Korea, AFN (the American Forces Network) has been one of the major channels for a long time. Secondly, Koreans have a strong will to go beyond the crowded domestic market and a population of only 50 million. Koreans have no choice but to make inroads into overseas markets. Thirdly, Koreans have artistic potential as a people living on a peninsula, like Italians.
