I couldn't live in South Korea

Besides the fact that I speak no Korean, they have outlawed poppy seeds!

I've never really understood the appeal of poppy seeds. As a topping for things like rolls and bagels, I find them more a nuisance than a benefit. As a pastry filling, they're better, but nothing I like as well as a fruit filling.

They do tumble off of bagels, but I still love them.
Poppy seeds are very common in Lithuanian dessert cuisine. Besides a poppy seed roll, we have a traditional Christmas Eve dish consisting of small leavened biscuits that have some poppy seeds. The biscuits are served soaked in a poppy seed milk. One of my favorite holiday foods. Christmas Eve isn't complete without it!
