GTA3 Import Substitution
I've been observing how much everyday import substitution there is evident in Seoul. Many of the drinks, the appliances, the consumer goods look and taste similar to Western or non-Korean counterparts. But they are made by Korean companies, to provide the same kind of good or service to the country. It's a matter of economy-building, early on. India practiced extensive import substitution when it was industrializing. Korea has managed to rebuild itself with astonishing speed after devastating conflict, in part by demanding that its citizens buy Korea and invest Korea. Korea could probably be called fully industrial now, and import substitution starts to seem like a matter of pride and habit more than economic necessity. Companies like LG and Samsung has become world-class brands though, tempering the seeming inferiority of imitation. This phenomenon is nowhere more apparent than on the roads. It is difficult to see a foreign car in Korea. I did spy a BMW dealership in a nice neighborhood. But otherwise, all around me, the cars are Kia, or Hyundai, and their forms and names evoke car models I'm familiar with from the United States. Today in Seoul, I saw a luxury car called a Magnus, a minivan called a Carnival, and a small delivery truck called a Porter. This all reminds me of Grand Theft Auto, where a Cadillac is called an Esperanto, a Hummer is called a Patriot, a Corvette is called a Stallion. There's some sense of humor evident in many of the GTA3 names. My favorite Seoul car is a luxury sedan called the Equus - reminding me of a play I neither read nor saw, about this shrink and his patient: a kid who puts out horses' eyes.

i want to take a ride on the carnival! Posted by: jane on October 13, 2003 12:15 AMEquus is one screwed-up play. I had to do a few scenes of it for an English Lit class in high school. ::shudder:: Posted by: Bowler on October 13, 2003 09:43 AMThe GTA3 Stallion is actually a lot more like a Mustang than a Corvette. i have played gta3 but more on vice city so bad that no one can get me off it, any way, it was wondering if you could send this message to the creators of the gta games. "The game GTA Vice City, is phatter than i heard but when/if you release the next one (which everyone up around my hood wants more than anything else) you should dish out some options like create our own players, like name, skin colour, weight, height, clothes, gloves, hats and every apperance kind of like how WWE Smackdown and THPS creates their people but way better. p.s I saw Equus in college. I'm not really sure how much of the weirdness was in this adaptation, but it was freaky enough for me not to want to see it again.
