South Korean products are gaining widespread popularity in Taiwan: poll

In a joint survey by the Taipei offices of the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency and the Korea Tourism Organization among 339 Taiwanese, 69 percent of the respondents said they had bought products only because the country of origin was listed on the tag as South Korea, the news agency reported.

The most popular goods included clothing and accessories, followed by cosmetics, information and communication goods, food and stationery.

Quizzed about why they prefer South Korean products, 41 percent attributed their preference to superior quality and design, while others said they are more affordable or because of their associations with pop stars from that country.

However, the consumers also listed shortcomings of South Korean products, complaining about poor after-sale services and the lack of Chinese-language manuals.
