Yeah South Korea is nuts. They drink too much, work too hard, and the imbalance in their society is too wide. I met my wife there, she worked her way out of a farming village, first person in her family to get a degree never mind a PhD, almost killed her... but she did it. Gwarosa, working to literal death, it&#x27;s a thing. The Japanese do it also: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Karoshi" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Karoshi</a><p>And this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hell_Joseon" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Hell_Joseon</a> and this: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spoon_class_theory" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Spoon_class_theory</a><p>I love South Korea and it&#x27;s people, I hope they smoke some weed and chill out soon or something, kinda worried about them ngl. :\
