My girlfriend and I are planning to move back to South Korea in a few years after we make some money in the US. Yup it’s grim af, but it’s still a great place to live in the present.
One thing the video didn’t touch on was immigration, which can solve some of these problems (at the cost of losing your cultural identity). Unfortunately, South Korea is quite anti-immigration, so that’s not gonna save them either.
This is the the find out phase of neoliberalism, so it’s surprising that a neoliberal media NGO—which you’d think would see Worst Korea as utopian—would admit this.
It’s also quite amazing how they manage to dance around the fact that capitalism is the source of the problems they’re describing.
They tried to deflect this by saying that China also has fertility problems when they said that China averages 1 kid per couple with kids
What they don’t mention is that China is actively enacting social policies that facilitate people having more kids and massively investing in automation.
