If Koreans/Europeans decide not to sell their stuff, some of the money would go into circumventing the ban:

1) This is not good for Korean/Europen sellers, because it negatively affects sales volume, and is unlikely to be compensated by margins, because a good chunk of those will go towards circumvention instead of the original seller.

2) Some more money will go towards replacing those sellers completely. This is extra not good from the sellers perspective.

In this new world there are more important things like nationalism, the ego of the politicians and the personal ambitions of the super rich. Bot being good idea is irrelevant.
