• Anneyonghaseyo nea jasin Mukul, today I am going to tell you all about some dark FACTS of
korea ,.
• but I wont tell about north Korea, As if I start talking about North Korea, the list would be
never ending, Show let’s start talking about South Korea
• Some people also name South korea as Hell korea. Some reasons I will tell today.
The first among them is that gender roles are still very fixed in Korea, and it is a
VERY chauvinistic society, i.e. displaying excessive support for their own sex. It's
pretty much expected that all women will grow up to get married, immediately
quit their jobs, and just become housewives before 30. the older males in their
family make the rules and break them as they wish. Korean marriages, like much
of Asia, are often for a lot of reasons other than 'everlasting love'. So after a
couple years, marriages are more like business partnerships, and there is rampant
cheating.
. Even if we talk about marriages of celebrities , sometime they are even arranged by
music label for their buissness-
The other reason the education system , The education is killing the students
If you ask South Korean students: How much do you study?
school students: at least 12 hours(regular course) or up to 20 hours
, the vast majority(let's say 8 out of 10) of students go to the academy and come home
late in the night usually 8-1am. Some academies end at 2 or 3 in the morning(usually for
high school students).
But do you know the sincere reason why they are studying like this?
Right now, the unemployment crisis is true, severe. So only selected students, who have the top
career can survive in this competitive world. There are three top universities; Seoul National Uni.,
Yonsei Uni., and Korea Uni. Students are desperate to enter at least one of them. All of the
students are studying hard because this is a matter of their future and living. So they risk their
lives in studying. I'm sure some of the people have seen news of suicide in South Korea. Yes,
this is one reason as South Korea ranks fourth in the suicide .
We are just talking about weight , but many times these labels demand their artist to go under
plastic surgery just to match beauty standards.
But there is also positive side of this kpop industry , like it has increased tourism , out of every 13
tourist 1 comes for kpop. Almost 3.6 billion dollor goes towards economy through kpop. So just
imagine how much power would these kpop artist and bands have.
SO this is how I would like to conclude that beside having an amazing outer look , sometimes
they are hollow from inside and the same goes for South Korea , but the people and the
government are trying their best to make their country best.
