Tha t, regardless of the cou ntry� s econ omy co ntinues to rise, Sou th Korea �s corruption rate was believed to be high. Interestingly, in the era of Lee, South Korea also reformed the laws and inaugurate an an ti-corruption institution. This not only makes the effectiveness of said anti-corruption agency in question, but also what could be the causes of the high rate of corruption rate in South Korea.
