Do you know? South Korea may become the first country to disappear in a hundred years, this is definitely not alarmist, South Korea currently lacks not only cultural self-confidence, but also "people".
According to a survey report by Statistics Korea, the number of suicides in South Korea reached a staggering 13,352 in mid-2021 alone, the highest among developed countries.
South Korea's fertility rate will also break through a record low of 1% in 2022, becoming the first country in the world to have a fertility rate of 1.
Once upon a time, South Korea was also a thriving country, with at least 900,000 newborns arriving every year in the sixties and seventies of the last century.
However, due to the patriarchal mentality, many girls have been abandoned, which is also the fundamental reason why the fertility rate of Koreans has plummeted since the 80s.
The phenomenon of male superiority and inferiority in South Korea is very serious, not as romantic as in the TV series, after the girl gets married, she not only has to work, but also has to take care of the children and in-laws.
Until the 21st century, Korean women rose and had the ability to support themselves, and women's rights were launched, which led to Korean women not wanting to get married and have children, and even two male friends did not want to have friends.
Moreover, having a child requires a lot of expenses that ordinary Koreans simply cannot afford, which leads to a lower and lower fertility rate and growing resentment.
If you don't get married, don't have children, and more than 100,000 people commit suicide every year, why does South Korea roll into hell mode? Located in the heart of Seoul, the Mapo Bridge is a testament to the glory of South Korea, but today it is known as a "suicide mecca".
In July 2012, South Korean activist Sung Jae-gi stood on the Mapo Bridge in Seoul, staring at the river in the distance, before suddenly jumping over the railing and into the Han River 20 meters below.
No one knows what he went through during his lifetime, only that he was the third person to die on this bridge that month! Although a lot of chicken soup for the soul is written on the Mapo Bridge, this does not stop the enthusiasm of South Koreans to commit suicide at all.
The reason why the suicide rate in South Korea is so high is very simple, that is, it is too involuted! Even if you are very capable in South Korea, as a low-level person, it is difficult to have a chance to turn over.
This phenomenon is shown in the movie "Parasite", where the poor can only live in the homes of the rich, hiding in dark corners, and living carefully.
Although knowledge does not apply to change fate in South Korea, even if the chance is slim, they want to desperately get into a good school, and it is popular in South Korea that they are all over the place.
This means that people who sleep 4 hours a day can be admitted to the ideal university, while those who sleep 5 hours will fall off the list, and those who are sleepy rely on coffee to refresh themselves.
How "involutional" is South Korea? Compared with false flattery, the Korean workplace is more suffocating! Students who graduate from prestigious schools will not be able to find a job if their family is not well-off.
Large companies require job seekers not only to have excellent business skills, but also to have a beautiful face, excellent foreign language skills, and the ability to challenge extremely.
Under the cruel competition, job seekers have to have plastic surgery, find relationships, etc., even if you are successfully hired, you will face overtime, according to the statistics of the Korean Employment Network, there are 463% of office workers work overtime almost every day, and nearly 60% do not receive overtime pay.
Even if the company is not in a hurry, in order to show loyalty to the company, they will stay in the company until at least 20 o'clock before leaving.
When the leader appears, the junior workers have to bow, just like the ancient eunuchs saw the emperor, and the hearts of Koreans are extremely twisted, they will go crazy for a little thing, and even ask their subordinates to kneel down and apologize.
Some small workers with poor family backgrounds, in order to support their families, have to endure humiliation, if you have a temper, you can also choose to turn around and leave, but you can go to the poor family?
The huge social pressure and difficult living environment make these powerless and powerless people have no chance to breathe, and can only choose to die, what do you think about this?
