But picking a weaker opponent to compete against is smart, even if upsets can happen. Picking the strongest opponent in a competition is just arrogance and bad strategy.

I think you are missing a big component of Korean culture and many eastern cultures generally speaking. Honor and respect are very important to them. Many contestants when given the opportunity to choose an opponent selected someone they thought would be a fair match. Many also felt pity and empathy for beating a contestant who was at an obvious disadvantage in a given game. Winning isn't everything to them.

I'm sorry I forgot that women are beyond criticism and are perfect beings who can do no wrong
