I read it.
They wish.
The Korean players still dominate the Rolex Rankings.
Koreans are a threat to win many tournaments any given year.

The Koreans nearly had a 15 year old win the Singapore Open, beating, among others, Patty Tavatanakit in the midst of her winning run earlier in the year. 15-year-old Hyo Song Lee nearly ended up in the Chevron, finishing 2nd at the Asia-Pacific Amateur. In the last year, they have won the Queen Sirikit Team event twice, the Espirito Santo Trophy, and had pros and amateurs finish 2nd, 3rd, and two teens tie for 4th at the Simone Cup. The all-teen amateur squad finished 2nd at the Asian Games, behind Thailand which had multiple LPGA pros but ahead of China, which had three LPGA pros on it including Ruoning Yin. That's all in the last ten months.
The Se Ri Kids may be running out of steam on the LPGA, but the next wave is gearing up, and this wave features several that hit it as far as anyone from America or Thailand. If just two or three of these gals pan out it will make the previous Korean wave look like a warm up exercise.

True they are not as hard pressed to join LPGA - you can make a good living on KLPGA now + all the sponsors - what incentive does HK Park have to come here? Her fans will never be able to see her! I can see every shot of hers on SBS YT for free, Maybe 1 or 2 pct of golfers care about "legacy", it's just a job for everyone else.
