Creation myths have always existed. But this is a case of Korea look at us as inspiration to justify their own superstitions. (Moros Note -- positive assertion)
The disease of all of human history isn't about labels, it is the flaw of evolution in conformation bias. Get enough people to pat you on your back about any topic, a cliff is nearby for all to be yanked off of.
Show me where you discovered that South Korea has been inspired by the United States on this topic and elucidate on how. Be sure to illustrate the magnitude and importance that supports your claims.
I am most interested in this analysis.
Didn't you say that they had their own Creation myths?
Do you know why America supports Israel? And I do too, but not for the original intent of the nutbags who gave them a nation?
South Korea supports teaching "creationism" for the same reason America says "Christian Nation" which justifies Israel for claiming a "Jewish state". If you can find some other nut to pat you on the back you can justify your own nuttiness.
Jews look at our support and say "Hey they have a state, why cant we" and vice versa. Some Americans mostly on the right support a Jewish state because of what the bible says indicating that the end times will be caused by the prophecy of a "Jewish state"
What does this have to do with South Korea? Nothing, other than when humans get a motif in their head, misery loves company.
They simply look at us and see our superstitions and say we need to do that too because we are friends.
When you strip it out of the labels what you are dealing with is one culture looking up to another to justify it's own superstitions. America has superstitions too, so why cant we treat that equal to science ourselves.
I value an Israeli state, but not a Jewish state. I value South Korea because they don't have the dictatorships of China and North Korea, but they still have superstitions. Calling them out as to this being a bad idea doesn't make them bad. It is merely warning them hey "we've been through this shit and you don't want to go there yourselves"
And we are still to a great degree today in America, spending far too much time fighting the political god mongers. We don't need another country telling it's youth that biology is based on "whatever you pull out of your ass".
