I was in South Korea in the early and mid-90s and as far as I could see,
despite US influence, they were as metric as Europe.  FFU was very foreign
to them.

In fact, around 1994, they changed their single phase voltage from 120 V (US
Norm) to 240 V (Most of the world Norm) and even changed the sockets from US
style to German (Schucko) style.  This shows whose standards they prefer.
