Japanese Pseudoscience in South Korea
Re: Hey baby, what's your blood type?: Controversial dating technique all the rage in South Korea
I first heard the idea that blood type indicates personality here in Korea. Koreans should reject this pseudoscientific idea, especially in light of its origin (from BLOOD TYPE AND PERSONALITY):
Some companies in Korea don't hire men with type B blood. Imagine, Koreans today are losing out on job opportunities because of the unfounded ideas of Japanese eugenicists in the 1930s!

The idea of a correlation between blood type and personality was first noted in the 1930s during Japan's invasion of eastern Asia. Military leaders commissioned a study on how blood type influences personality in an effort to breed better soldiers.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
