From the artcile: "Safety has emerged as a priority in South Korea after some 300 people were killed in a ferry sinking in April."
Apparently they are ignoring or have already forgotten the SFO incident. Not to degrade the ferry incident severity, but the article doesn't even mention the SFO accident.

I wouldn't fly on Asiana if it was free! And Skytrax listed it as one of the 10 best airlines in the world. Someone at skytrax needs to be fired.
To add to Mr. Mills' comment. Another incident at LAX by KAL. Many years ago a KE MD-111 freighter made a hard landing at LAX. It curved the fuselage like a "U." After being unloaded at the KAL Cargo facility, it was was towed to the old Continental Maintenance facility. Anything denoting KAL (aircraft colors, tail no., etc.,) was painted over very quickly.
They always do that. Name an airline that leaves a broken plane around with their titles on it if they can help it.
I think it's more likely the pilot didn't know what to do about the light rather than actually ignoring it.
WDR ( with due respect ) if this being so his training and briefing are defective, a management dereliction !
Asiana seems to have some sort of weird thinking going on regarding aviation safety.
