Why There's No Clean Trend Here
Don't anchor on the most recent year. With this much back-and-forth, the latest reading is one data point among several similarly-weighted ones, not the start of a new trend.
The 2020 dip lands in the one year that disrupted almost every kind of economic activity worldwide — 2020. That doesn't prove COVID-19 caused this specific move, but it's a reasonable first place to look before assuming something else did.
This kind of indicator is almost never measured continuously — it's estimated from periodic data collection, published and later revised by Korea, Rep.'s statistical authority. Direction is the reliable part; individual years less so.
