This chart is highly unprofessional due to the choice of completely excluding ROK’s major importer and exporter, namely the EU. Besides calling it “other” and not displaying the actual major countries of trade is furthermore highly dismissive.
Charts and diagrams are only the truth if represented properly. Do it the wrong way, and it might as well be a lie.
