If it had not been scripted that this was all in NY, how would you even known it was in the US. Did not see an area where it wasn't difficult to even find a Caucasian in the background. Expected that in Koreatown and Harlem, but not the whole city. That and add in the number of people who treated him like a celebrity. Would have thought people who lived in Koreatown would dislike him more than others considering how North and South Korea have been at odds for years. Would have thought more of the residents in Koreatown would have had ties to South Korea.
Then again, maybe I don't know anything about today's Geography of the world.
