South Korea has no bad news about crypto-currencies. They are only implementing real-name accounts.
However, facebook has banned advertising for ICO, which is the bad news today.
I think they did that for a couple of reasons. 1) They are trying to get into blockchain, and I think we've all heard rumors about integration with Ltc. Who knows if that will ever happen? and 2) they probably banned it for all of the scams that are/will happen.
So who knows what they were thinking, those are just my assumptions.
