   After the IMF crash in 1997 , a lot of people that were laid off ended up in the Internet business , says Harry Cheigh , vice-chair of the American Chamber of Commerce Korea's Internet committee and CEO of Momus Ventures Group , a B2B incubator. Startup costs for venture firms are also a lot lower here than they are in Japan , Hong Kong , or Singapore. As for the personality theory -- I don't buy it..
   
   After decades of military dictatorships and high-profile corruption cases , most South Koreans are reluctant to credit the government with anything , but even the most jaded citizens have been forced to admit that it has played a primary role in propelling the country's leap into the information age. Still reeling from the effects of the 1997 foreign currency crisis , which culminated with Korea being placed under a $ 60 billion IMF bailout program , the Kim Dae-jung administration has over the past two years initiated a series of reforms that have shaken up the country's formerly all-powerful conglomerates and paved the way for small and medium-sized firms to lead its economic growth. Most significant were its efforts to set low tariffs for Internet access , introduce competition into the local telecommunications market , and privatize state-run Korea Telecom , which was first listed on the Korea Stock Exchange in December 1998.
