Many Koreans feel that the order has far less significance. This is because it is self-awarded and is based on winning an election, not on any positive achievements for the country. It is also given to foreign heads of state, not necessarily because of what they have done for Korea, but for what they may do for Korea in the future."

He's more likely to prance around with the neckwear in his bedroom. Nice complement in his diaper and jammies.
Notice how he appears somewhat bored and unimpressed with the gift. Arrogant pig!
