Best Answer

Yes, in fact, South Korean are the tallest Asian race at 175.5 cm average (5'9 1/18).

Ironically, North Koreans are the shortest in Asia at 165.6 cm average (5'5.2)

For comparison, average American height is at 176.3 cm. New generation of South Koreans are now just as tall as the western countries. So before you generalize Asians as short, think again! South Koreans are tall.
