South Korea's unpopular young government is having second thoughts about the benefits of running the world's most wired society.
The mass access to the Internet, which helped ex-CEO Lee Myung-bak to his resounding presidential election victory, went on to become the instrument helping shatter that popularity in just five months in office.
