No they ' re just foreseeing a future that is all shiny and chrome . All the other buildings must change around it . <| sep |> dude . your link literally says korean height did not undergo change from 18901970 s then it increased afterwards . I get it if your saying koreans were same height during joseon and before 1970 s but unless Joseon ended and occupation started in 1970 how the hell do you come to the conclusion thatKorean men have constantly been getting taller in an absolute sense since the end of Joseon during and after occupation . ????????? rice from southwestern province was shipped to all around the nation to feed all the people there . it doesnt mean the southwesterners eat all of itHeres a solution to the no shrinking issue . Think of it this way . during the mid 20 th century , improved nutrition around the world caused the people to grow taller on a global scale . That koreans did not grow an inch during the period where the world underwent most change means koreans shrank by comparison . so they did not reach their potential during the period , then did catching up rapidly after 1970 s
