I'm willing to trust you on this but this is news to me, Koreans have very pridefully told me that they're the thinnest nation, and their insane appearance and 'health' culture kind of corroborates with that.

Unless you mean just relative to a few decades ago?

South Koreans have the lowest obesity rate in the OECD, but they have much higher obesity rates among children and teenagers.

I think it's just used as an explanation for any nonviolent death that happens at home, like "natural causes". When someone dies with a fan in the room, the media can blame fan death before the autopsy results are in. When Mama Cass died of a heart attack with a ham sandwich in the room, the media speculated that she'd choked to death on a ham sandwich.
