Zero tolerance brand censorship policy on South Korean media. Not even stores without names or with generic names can escape from this policy, as long as they have at least one board with text on it, though, the clerk or the owner or the employee will not be blurred if they're in the topic or in question. Any passerby stores/vendors, without or with names/brands, ads, and items with names/brands are blurred. They will even blur the entire background if the background is full of stores/vendors and/or ads and/or brands, like background blur in video conferences/meetings. An exception is when the topic takes place outside South Korea and will only blur what they visit or news footage with a reporter/journalist on the field, otherwise, the background or a specific street side is blurred if the footages are not from the media
Can someone explain about Korean blur phenomenon? Looks like South Korea has a societal problem that not even Japan have, although they have similar problems. Searching for this particular thing would only get about censorship in general, which is not specific to South Korea (with the exception of some crime-themed documentaries like Natgeo Airport Security, in which all passerby airplanes logo and even obscure brands or local business brands are blurred, possibly done as litigation due to strongly negative topics and possibly causes a bad reputation to passerby brands)

Get the Korean blurmug. This is when your bum swells up really badly and can cause huge pain. Its caught from smelling the farts of someone who already has North Korean Bum Disease. Can be treated with around 2 years of bum supplements.

Get the Korean davemug. A frowned upon sexual endeavor that includes shavings of the exterior of a pineapple, a blindfold, and spearmint toothpaste. This activity is not for the faint of heart
I used to be really in to her, but then her ex told me about how she gave him a Korean Pineapple and his balls were never the same...

Get the Korean Pineapplemug. Phrase: used to poke fun at Koreans who are being conceited or are conceited.
Origin: Koreans have a lot of pride. The author of this is not Korean and is actually Chinese. Yeah, maybe China is crappy, but they produce the most crap. Maybe Korea did make a lot of companies and crap, but that doesnt give Koreans the right to keep saying "KOREA IS NUMBAH 1" and say crap that they make LG and Samsung like Roy Koo even though i love him. Dont hate, Koreans, you know what i'm talking about.
