yeah, this *isn't* a new thing in Korea. Christian Baptist is, like, the unofficial national religion (not really but) and has been for several decades (since 1950s?). Just another kind of "lets all do this the same way in the same direction".. from what I've read, it has basically hit a plateau along with the population.
edit: the situation is apparently more complicated with recent declines in Protestantism and growth in Catholicism.
