As someone married to a Korean, I am not surprised in the least. Every single one I have met (males at least) drinks like a fish. It is impossible to describe to a westerner just how ingrained the drinking culture is over there.
The entire US and North America is massively more empty relative to almost anywhere else, even most perceptually sparse countries. Many of European countries are 5-10x denser than US.
South Korea has 5x the population of Ohio, but around 27x the number of bars [1]. So it really is a lot of bars.

They drink more than Eastern and Northern Europeans. It's insane!
