In a joint survey by the Taipei offices of the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency and the Korea Tourism Organisation among 339 Taiwanese, 69 percent of the respondents said they had bought products only because the country of origin was listed on the tag as South Korea, the news agency reported.
