      Everything you’ve written on this thread is very depressing. What is even the point? Why does anyone even want to live in Korea? It sounds like an absolute nightmare tbh.

      I’d expect to be mass immigration away from Korea.

        It’s not trivial for most people to leave their home, culture, language, family, friends, etc and move to another country

          I know… but my country has way more emigration and it doesn’t suck nearly as bad as Korea…

          *And also, I know I would 100% feel differently if I was born in Korea, but I would resent the fuck out of my parents, culture and government if that was my life. People joke China is cyberpunk, but South Korea seems way more dystopic.

        Just as an anecdote: there is a huge Korean population in Canada. I’d say there is currently a mass emigration, but I suppose only for those able to afford it and want leave at the same time.

      That’s so alien to me. Well congrats on making it through that meat grinder of a system in one piece!
