Unpleasant there is a tendency with the prohibition of ICO. After China and other countries began to look closely at such activities as the original offer of coins (ICO). Such a prohibition is useful only when the critical situation with this activity develops and is related to its non-transparency of conduct and a significant increase in the risk for investors that are associated with the possibility of fraud with investors' funds. I hope that this prohibition of ICO in Korea will be temporary and aimed only at good ends.
The Korean government probably just wanted to protect its citizens from getting scammed because the ICO investors are susceptible to scams. Some find ICOs to be very sketchy in nature and the possibility of fraud is highly possible since there is no control over ICOs. Hopefully this ban would be lifted in the near future so that the Korean citizens would be able to participate and invest because despite the numerous scams, there are worthwhile coins and ICOs out there worthy to invest in.
