It actually won’t - don’t scare the insomniacs. But it will weaken the body quite a bit and with enough exertion - like these young Koreans are doing - their chances of dying are much higher. Edit: Since I'm getting lots of 'rebuttals' from who are just essentially rephrasing my points in agreement regarding sleep - imma answer this once and for all. But first, insomniacs, people who can't make the time to sleep, here's actual helpful advice to you - ignore these obtuse people, they literally don't know what they are talking about. Take it easy on yourself, rest when you can and when you feel you must - do not ignore the signals your body is sending you. Sleeping is not the only form of rejuvenation. Try to see an expert if you can - do you already know what's the root cause of your issue? Meanwhile, have patience with yourself, mediate, relax, be happy. You will be fine. And now for the purposefully obtuse, yes, sleep is important, not once have I suggested or advocated otherwise. But no, not having enough sleep alone will NOT kill you. Anyone who says otherwise, have you even looked up on the scientific data on insomnia and life expectancy? Have you studied it? Have you worked with patients with chronic insommia? Saying that sleeping 3 hours a day WILL kill you is not only scientifically and statistically inaccurate, it is fear mongering. Let's not pretend that the fact that 'sleep is important' is new information - people who are suffering from sleep deprivation already know it and feel it, and nobody should be adding needless stress on people who are already going through a hard time. People should be more conscientious of the effect of their words but why be precise or nuanced when making hyperbolic statements like OP did is more exciting, I guess.
@@HikeJ1Not denying that. Just a PSA to not frighten those insomniacs who may come across this video and cause them further stress. There is a thing called non-sleep deep rest. Many people lived long lives despite lack of sleep. Let’s not exaggerate and frighten people.
@@Claudia-cy6ouWith just three hours of sleep, they might appear fine temporarily, but a crucial breakdown could happen at any moment, jeopardizing their health irreversibly.
What is truly infuriating is that this situation is very similar at its core to all developed countries. Young people working incredibly hard and living like this, completely unsure if their fufutre. And then the older, ruling generation wonders why we are all depressed, stressed, anxious and not having kids? How can we afford a child, financially, mentally or time-wise?
That’s why white young adults flock the 3rd world Asian countries cuz them dollars can make them queen and kings because living expenses were dirt cheap
All developed countries are not like this, west Europe, nodic and north America Have a balanced life, East Asia is famous for hard workers,Competition is very tight, school and work are too tiring and stressful. This is why their country is so developed
Mexican here, I got a dream job in a good company and I was treated like a slave...I was working from 7-8 am until 11-12 pm but they keep reminding me how lucky I was for being there 😂 I quit and I'll never go back...I'd rather starve to death than going back to that place 😊
That is super common here in Mexico... Mexico is way more overworked that Korea actually, we work 2,127.8 hours per year. What calls my attention though is that it is hardly heard in other countries.. We hear a lot about cases like Korea, for example, but it's not very well known that in Mexico we work up to 50 hours per week. Not sure if it has to do with how we Mexicans believe it is "okay" to work too much, and that being overworked is something valuable 🙄
@@mjlpbn Nah, it has to do with the world conditioned to believe any news about Mexico that's worth paying attention to is how the drug cartels are running the show there😂. Media bias is real.
@@mjlpbnMexican here, that lived in korea for 5 yrs. Are you dumb? 2,127hr/52= 40hr/week THAT IS NORMAL!! This guy is talkin about over 3,000 hr year. Or over 55hrs a week. In mexico overtime is NOTHING like it is in korea. In my actual job i get paid overtime. In Korea u r expected to work overtime and they NEVER pay it up.
I'm Park Min-ji (UA-cam nickname: Kim-al-bob) who appeared in the video. It was a great time to show my life in my 20s in Korea and express my opinion. I got energy from seeing a lot of supportive comments! I'm rooting for you all! Thank you.
this is happening all over the world. the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. the poor are withdrawing because: whats the point in playing the game when you know the game is rigged and youll never get ahead no matter how hard or long you work?
Yeah, my 50 year old white American neighbor has not worked for few years. Brian just flat out gave up on working and society. He's coup up inside the house or outside the backyard doing his own thing almost daily.
Life is unpredictable and issues usually come up. Anyone from any age is not guaranteed tomorrow. Even young people should think 🤔 about heaven ✨️ or hell 🔥. Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.
@@small_fries7573 Only the Dem-marxist-socialist Welfare State allows such a slackard terd to live that way ... OFF OF his neighbors and working people. In previous generations in the U.S., he was REQUIRED to be a man.
The main problem with korean culture isn't that they work so hard. Its that they all convince and pressure each other to do prestigious jobs they hate. Not everyone is wired to be a doctor or an engineer. Promote people following their passions and with the built in work ethic it would be a much happier and prosperous society.
Capalitist countries couldn't care less what their workers want. They are numbers sadly. S Korea has grown very fast due to this competitive society. Capitalist societies aren't sustainable, they are all going to collapse within 20 years.
@@Natta44 I can’t imagine Soviet factory workers got what they want. Only educated if they are the best with no way to pay to go themselves. Capitalism requires workers at all wage points and also innovation of new industry. Under capitalism a person can just attend college or trade school to learn a new career. Can’t happen under socialism or communism. Capitalism has been going on for more than a century. Communism fell in half that time.
@@kristinesharp6286 My mom chose the job which she wanted, to which she really had passion. And got enough money to go to the seaside every year and raise a child. Also, she got a new flat just because she worked. So yes, she got what she wanted to in Soviet Union. Right now, I know a lot of people who works on well-paid jobs just to get money and hate their jobs. Under socialism everyone can attend college or trade school to learn new career, without paying for it, you just need to be clever enough. Under capitalism you can have rich parents or have 2 works to pay for your study
@@thekinginthenorth5230 no not everyone can attend college or trade school under socialism. Today in Russia you have to be the % of students or you have to pay and go to a paying school. Everyone can’t in North Korea go to free school. Not if your uncle pissed off the wrong person you will be relocated. 80% in South Korea go to college. It is just some are knocking themselves out to go the top few schools. Parents throw money at it. Go into debt to throw money at. It ridiculous they need a financial management section on the exam so they learn how stupid it is. So they are going with 80% attending. In the U.S. you can live a perfectly happy, happier life not going to Harvard. I hate to tell you in the USSR everyone wasn’t equal. Those that did well under the USSR did well when the wall fell. Tell me how did they decide who lived in the 5 floor walk up post 40’s and who lived in the prewar apartment with elevator? Of course things were unequal. The children of serfs in rural areas didn’t get the same education as the kid in Moscow. Are you kidding me?
This video reminds me of why I left Korea. I was considered a 'winner' in its intensely competitive society, having graduated with both a BA and MA from Y, one of the SKY. I secured a job in a major Jaebol conglomerate, earning a high salary. However, I found myself frustrated because the so-called successful life was also miserable. The competition was relentless, especially within the firm for higher positions. Despite the high pay, there was no time to enjoy the money earned, and the never-ending comparisons made it a challenging environment. Even those deemed 'winners' were not happy, who would be?
@@moonmissy Yes and an unsustainable one. I have never seen people smile as brightly as children in poor villages that have a deeper sense of bond with their community.
I hope you have better life now and enjoying wherever you are. That environment where you came from is very toxic, its what I noticed when watching kdramas too 😅
I have been amazed at how people can glorify no sleep. In my experience Koreans do that the most. Sleep is an essential part of human life. It's not something we "deserve" or not. What's next? The need to prove our worth to deserve air?
Exactly I used to be this way… as in using my time to learn and stay up late night and be in the computer. That’s until I started having manic episodes and hallucinating from lack of sleep. It scared the crap out of me because I started being paranoid. Now I sleep when I can.
That's so sad.. sleep is a non-negotiable thing. People think they can give up sleep and just study/work more but if you don't sleep enough, you can't even focus on your studies/work and you can't do your best. It's a false belief that we can gain anything by giving up sleep, in my opinion.
@Miyankochan Also, lack of sleep + heavy machine operation is very much a no no. OSHA would have banned it if they could, but they can't mandate how long people need to sleep
We kind of already do have to prove our worth for better air. Statistically, the poorer you are, the more likely you will live in an urban area with bad air quality therefor contributing to shorter life expectancy. Richer folk in the surburbs/countryside have cleaner air. Life isn't fair. But it's been like this for centuries.
I was born in South Korea, but my family immigrated to Canada. My dad thought that I'd get bullied in high school and the military service would be too hard for me. I am glad that I don't live in South Korea anymore. There are so much more opportunities here in Canada, but my dad had to sacrifice his well-paying professional job for me and my brothers can have a better future.
I have the exact same experience as you - my dad left his well paying job at Samsung in order to come to Canada for my brother and I because of the harsh education system. When I was a child it was hard because I was away from the rest of my family and had to be a translator for my parents who didn't speak english very well, but now that I'm older I appreciate their sacrifice.
@@shinyamada488 I know what you mean, but I would never be accepted into the Canadian military because of my mental health history. My youngest brother is in the military, he’s in RMC, plans to be a combat engineer.
The part where they said that living in a small room can have long lasting impacts on mental health ringed a bell. Three years ago, I've lived for about 7 months in a very small appartment in Paris due to the high renting price there (the room was the size of two double beds, the single room included a bed, a kitchen counter and a desk, and the windows were so high that you couldn't see outside without standing on a chair). Because of the lockdown I could only go sometime outside for work or meeting my friends, so I stayed about 5 days at home per weeks. Well I've never been more depressed than in those times. Being so confined in this space, the littlest inconvenience in the house (the heater not working, my fridge breaking etc) put me in genuine dispair. For idk what reason, I started being scared of inviting people to come over, or even come outside. At the end I could spend days sitting down on the ground against my bed listening to the noises my neighbour's parrot was making. Then I've been hospitalized (for other health conditions) and moved out but looking back it was scary what this place did to me.
Singapore is moving in the same direction! Tiny island wants to jam in 7 million and more. The apartments are becoming very much smaller, building taller and prices inflating every year. Humans need a certain amount of personal spaces in order to thrive and be emotionally happy. Overcrowding causes a lot of daily stress!! However, Asian countries' leaders don't understand that allowing their citizens personal space and time to enjoy leisure, family life, hobbies and travel etc. makes for a happier, stronger and more productive nation. They just squeeze and exploit them to the very last drop. This leads to decline and death of a society.
@@s._3560Since when Singapore has 7 million ppl? Singapore is NOT the same as Korea cos their salary is 3 times LOWER than Singapore. Singapore at least is a progressive country & has highest avg salary in asia, is the only asia country that came in world top 10 highest.❤❤
That's not just happening in South Korea, It's a global phenomenon in most developed countries. Whe have the same situation here in Canada. Many young people are suffering from depression and becoming homeless due to many social issues, unaffordable cost of living and lack of job opportunities.
@@akihiko99then it’s better to live in undeveloped countries like Indonesia, even though most of them earn around $300 usd. They can still manage to own a house & live their live happily
Not in all countries..West Europe have a nice work and life balance..better salaries and many social benefits. Its not like China ..Japan or South korea ..working with long hours and 6 days a week for less money
@LolyBest: Really? 😱 With the Ukraine war dragging on, high energy cost in Western Europe will be the norm, they will not have much of an economy left. Dream on work and life balance, it will be unemployment and life balance. Here in Canada, high inflation and low wages, more and more people are depending on food banks to get by. 😓
Call me lazy but i'd rather die than working 18 hours a day. 9 hours a day is already torturing my body. Sleeping less than 5 hours is a hell on earth 🤯

@@yourmother7469 That is why your society sucks, with that mentality! Been to South America, USA Japan Korea all over Europe and I can say with ease, Japan and Korea is two countries I would never recommend ppl to live in, visit sure, but to live, nop!! Two very well developed countries but so far behind in well beeing mentally!!
I grew up in the late 70s and the 80s, I'm in my mid-50s now and coming to the end of my working career. I don't envy kids that are coming into the working world nowadays. I don't care what country you're in things just seem to have gotten harder.
Kids nowadays will never know the concept of retirement. They will work till their body breaks because it's the only way they can keep a roof over their head.
It’s ok . We will all overwork ourselves to death. Our societies will implode and people from outside with better values - less work obsessed, family focused, who value leisure snd slow pace like Africans and Muslims will take over and build something better in future.
I'm the same generation and honestly today is a lot better than back then. Quality of life is alot better too. Trust me the life in South Korea is a heckuva lot better than North Korea where sure there's no stress but living in a stress free no competition kinda environment is also very unfulfilling. The trick is to find balance. You don't have to play that rat race game keeping up with the Jones.
I'm in your age group and I agree. When I was in my teens, I remember seeing small condominiums for sale for under 20 k that are now selling for almost 200k. It's crazy.
Most are so programmed to see reality beyond their cultural and social conformities, life that we are is universal and if your mind,body and spirit diverged from the whole, the depression and sense of lost become order of the day and illusion of retiring is a big scam created by societies, many never make it or end up in old peoples
This issue is not isolated to South Korea. I am in tech, in the US. Globalization, endless innovations, competition, and neck-breaking speed means crazy long hours. I work 15 to 17 hour days, 6 days a week, including holidays. The pandemic induced work-from-home approach means I now burn 16 to 19 hours a day with work. I absolutely stop at 19 hours, so I can have 5 hours to sleep. Having a good education and moving up the career ladder doesn't mean you work less and it usually means the opposite. So the issue impacts all segments of society. You have these youth that don't have enough money to live, and you have older generation that make more money but absolutely no time to spend money or enjoy life or the fruition of the hard work. What the world need is to slow down... We don't need a new phone, tech toy, or TV every year...
In US too? I'm surprised to hear that. I was in US for 1 month (many many years ago) as a trainee before returning to my home country in Asia. I got the impression that my US colleagues were pretty easy going when it comes to their working hours. They can leave their office , anytime they liked, when they liked. I was in the manufacturing sector back then
@berenisemendez5223 thanks....the situation is really disturbing to say the least. I hope we, collectively as a generation, can turn it around and make it better for the future generations.
I lived in Korea. University student. this is motivating me to speak out about my experiance there too. I truly understand how they can get depressed to the point of suicide... it is strange to admit to this. I had bad Proffessors (not all ofc) but 1,2 bad proffessors in my Uni ...and I was doing the work (we all were) for the Korean Prononciation Class. it was an unavoidable F from the start. I saw first hand how (students)you can do the assignments ! did all the work ! and still graded an F ... I was the only one who spoke out about it. another Professor who I was on better terms with tried to talk to the difficult one. next class that Proffessor told us to *quote* "not beg our grades up" ... Unbelievable ... in the course description it said we will be graded not only by Test results , but also attendance and assignments this Proffessor ...did not grade anyone based on all of these points. either an F or a D+ and imagine if you have a University with mostly Proffessors like that... that Proffessor even (practically bragging) said that... last year she had a student that begged her not to give her an F because she will lose her scolarship. so in Hankuk University there is a Proffessor going rouge ,grading most of her students F ....and no one can do anything about it because it seemed like she "knows a suit upstairs" (understand?) I truly can see how ppl get demoralized and depressed. they are holding their own youth back. it is a good University and mostly good experiance but I did have this experiance. after seeing this I almost felt like it is my duty to type this here so it is known. saying AnYthInG ~ negative sounding about a University of theirs ..and you can forget ever going back there. so I had this fear but not anymore after seeing this. they need to Not hold back their youth.
Thank you for sharing your story. As a college student in the US I had also run into a couple of bad professors, but hearing how it happens to that extent in your case is awful
@@khatunguyen7608 also here in Hungary we have these type professors. I didn't mean to make my comment seem too "anti-Korea" but the severity is definitely worse there , is my opinion.
It's look like subtle bullying and sadistic behaviour. 😂 Bet the professors really enjoying to see people suffering, begging and asking for mercy. Abusing power they have to get sense of power and control over others. To feel powerful and superior. 😂
"Competition in Korean society is tough." ...... I remember Koreans saying that about 20 years ago. I have a feeling they will continue to say so for a long time to come.
I live in Italy, have a degree in psychology and work as a hand in a glass foundry. The imbalance between scholarization and workplaces is not just a Korean thing.
Its a scam. Well in the UK it is. People are driven to university to get pointless degrees or degrees with no job prospects at the end. When we should be all learning a trade or skill we can take away in life. Its a scam to.make everyone poorer.
My family moved from Korea to the US when I was 7. I'm 48 now and feel so blessed that. We recently visited Korea for two months and seeing the rest of the relatives live such meager living standards and most still being fairly poor reiterated to my father that he and my mom made the right choice 40 years ago.
Glad u shared your story. Most important thing in life is finding God, Jesus Christ by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior so u can go to heaven after this life. Money is important, but it's temporary depending on how long a person live (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 yrs. ) The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven. But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps: 1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions. 2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins. If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Congratulations! 🎊 👏 After this life, you're on your way to heaven forever! ⬆️💯🥳
As a Finn, I feel that my situation is a lot better than whats seen in here (and read in the comments) but so it's hard to find the motivation to do anything. What is the point of working or chasing a career when at the end of the day you have to come home to a cold appartment and an empty fridge. If the only reason to work is to not starve, and no amount of savings gets me any closer to my dream of a family and my own house, then the sweet release of death doesnt seem too bad. What is even the point?
there is always another way that you can embark on. sometimes you just have to head into the opposite direction of what everybody else is saying and doing, even your family. I was at a similar point 2 years ago in Germany, but than I just cut all ties, worked a lot and manage to build something from scratch which can now sustain my living with a few hours of work each day. whatever your goals are, you can do it too
I'm agree with you. But honestly I'm just curious about life. I have a kinda nihilism but in a more postive aspect if I had to explain it. I'm just curious what will happen. I've been in some pretty dark times myself though.
I live in Japan and have a South Korean coworker who plan to live in Japan forever. God he’s so happy here in Japan He’s such a smart guy. And now I understand, as he’s from such a competitive environment.
@@balabanasireti FYI Japan has a lower than world average working hours, and a much more affordable housing while people already earn more than Korean, Japan also has no wealth distribution problem like chebols in Korea - that means the GDP of Japan are fairly distributed among Japanese. Japan had moved on from it's 80s bubble era stereotype and people doesn't realize that. If you're an Asian you'll have the best childhood/teens in Japan as it's not that competitive like the video describing Korea.

I thought the words by the woman with the fashionable scarf, "Everyone is running towards the same goal" were profound. We are NOT best served by a society where diversity is not valued. When parents punish their children for wanting to go off the beaten track (if not physically then emotionally), it leads to poorer outcomes for everyone. We absolutely need our sanitation workers, our musicians, our bus drivers, and every other role crucial to making a happy and functional society.
If the same goal is earning enough money to afford a decent place to live, save for retirement and raise a family, I don't see any problem at that. Also as this video points out, not graduating from one of the very top universities means you're essentially economically stuck. Parents know this,and pushing their kids to get the best grades possible is totally understandable given this context.

Some of these people who didn't go to traditional school have other skills that kept them going. I think this should be also recognized by companies to hire this type of people base on their skills not just education. If you know how to do the job well why not hire and pay them well. These gives incentives to people who wants to do the job base on their skills and not just educational background.
It'd be better to select workers based more on their personality and interests -- and not spend so much effort determining the absolute top candidate out of thousands of applicants -- instead of purely comparing paper to your impossible ideal, then provide OJT. This is more like how companies used to hire (and how the public sector and military still does hire) before the internet made the whole world "accessible" (which goes both ways), and firms got lazy wanting to instead lean on public education and poaching from competitors to fill their staffing needs.
@@doujinflipI agree. My law firm interviewed a guy with perfect LSAT. score and great grades. He didn't get an offer because he had an awful personality and no people skills.
There's that, but companies with an overload of workers also use education to weed out people with out having to explain themselves away. Just say,"you don't have the qualifications". And that's it. You just waste all your energy, time, and resources to prepare for the interview, then bam!!! "You don't qualify"

A lot of people romanticise the thought of living in South Korea especially with the rise in popularity of kdramas but in reality life there is difficult. I am from NZ and spoke with a client from Sth Korea, i asked him how life was back in his home country, he said "it was shxt, I'll never go back" He is working jere in NZ an earning at livable wage. I hope everybody succeeds in life whether its financially, mentally, physically.... All the best to all,. especially those in despair, you will get through the tough times.
This is happening world wide & as a parent I cannot let my children suffer so I let them stay at home until they think they can stand on their own. I also don’t understand the amount of pressure that the South Koreans impose on their children as far as education because in our country, when you are done with school, you go home, do your homework & do self study for an examination or a quiz. Then you can relax the rest of the evening till bedtime.
As a Pakistani we blessed that we don't need to be worried about home or accommodation.we young generation also have farm land like I am 27 year old and have girl friend .if I don't earn a penny for maybe 3 year still survive ...No pressure from society we live very slow natural life ...
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven. But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps: 1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions. 2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins. If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Congratulations! 🎊 👏 After this life, you're on your way to heaven forever!! ⬆️💯🥳
Everybody in South Korea was pushed by society to "look rich," and then they were exhausted. Much like most Asian countries, in the place I live (a developing country), society pushed us to look rich as well, even with a mountain of debt behind it. Hey, at least you look rich, right?
Very true, their amount of debt is terrible. Faking having luxury goods and driving expensive big car but empty pockets. Mountain ahaha this reminds me my hiking trip in Korea or more precisely « Fashion Week in the Korean mountains » I was speechless, everyone (youngsters and elders) was wearing trendy hiking clothes with the latest brand new equipment. I felt so miserable Lol
I absolutely love the project initiated by Seung Gyu. What a beautiful lesson of humanity, togetherness and solidarity to overcome your difficulties. Kudos young man ❤
It's definitely heartbreaking to see the tough conditions that Korean youngers are experiencing. Eastern Asia countries should find their ways to create a sustainable society for next generations! Hope we can make it, brothers and sisters.🙏
It is hearbreaking to see these young people struggling in life. They have goals, they want to work hard, but the marketplace is so tough. Those who sleep 3 hours a day are inviting mental / physical breakdown at some point. The issue seems to be many-layered, and I know Japan and China youths are facing the same thing to various extents. Prayers to them and wishes that the conditions change for the better and there will be places in the society for them to thrive.
What do u think 🤔 of those Americans who don't even wanna work at all & just stay home 24/7 for few years now? I know my american neighbors who are currently going through this. Are they worse off or those who work 2 much?
Seung Gyn is a role model and hero. I’m in awe of what he does because he experienced it himself and wants to change that for others who felt what he did. There are many people who are cheering you on! ✨✨✨✨✨
The purchasing manager at my job was also working nights at a liquor store 😔 I still live with family with the hopes of one day getting a condo for my kid and me. It's very well a global phenomenon. Wages have not caught up to inflation at all. I just hope the best for all of us! 😭
The first girl is literally living to work and not the other way around. I thought of migrating to a developed country for selfish reasons and because of soc med posts romanticizing such life in developed countries. However, I was soon slapped by reality after thorough research that in order for me to survive, going back to square one, living in a foreign country, I will need to work 3 jobs. I was like, na ah. I'm good in my country. At least here, I have work-life balance. Many inconveniences though, that comes with living in a third world country but those are mostly annoyances and easily overcome. If I pursued living abroad as a single person, I will only live to work and that will easily take a toll on my overall health. I don't wanna die like that. I mean, even if I live in a third world country, not many of my countrymen can have the life that I have so seeing this makes me more appreciative of what I have, even if I lack a lot in life.
I don’t know where you’re from but you’re absolutely correct. Take for example in the US, even if u make $100k/yr, it’s a decent salary income but you gotta work hard for it. In addition, rent here in the US skyrocketed. An average of $2,000 in most cities plus u need a car (average brand new $700, while used-car is $500/month). Healthcare care here is a “hellcare” unless your employer provides you with health insurance but it is a crime to get sick and taken to the ER in the US (3 hrs admitted to the ER cost my insurance $15,000, my co-pay was $300 due to stomach ache) Korea on the other hand where living in the not so good apartment, area or “goshiwon” isn’t as bad thing compare in the US where cheap apartments has (bad neighborhoods, drug addicts, and crime happening around the area)
Atleast the 1st girl is doing her best. The doc says her monthly salary from 2 jobs is close to $4,200, & her monthly expenditure is about $900. And she saves rest for opening her own convenient store. And she will do so in a year. With her dedication, she will be OK.
Haha that’s extremely optimistic. There are many factors against her. Extreme sleep deprivation, inflation, and poor mental health I think the most appropriate action would be to focus 100% on one specific job, particularly her web design role rather than having 2 jobs and basically screwing your body over. The fact that she’s getting scolded for her mistakes and poor performance implies that she’s not doing well in her first job which is probably because of how exhausting a 2 job routine is, hence she would not be chosen over others who focus entirely on their role and would easily perform better than her. Rising costs wise, I think it’s definitely necessary to cut down on expenses drastically for a few months as she gets her life in check. Maybe checking with her relatives if she could borrow a bit, or live with them for a while. Personally, it would not make sense to start a business when you’re struggling with costs. A single unfortunate event or anything involving her already poor health would basically shut down any chances she had. You can’t expect a sleep deprived, desperate person to be rational though.
« She will be ok » LMAO sleeping 3 hours a day with 2 jobs ?!? She is ruining her health (psychologically and physically) and will eventually get a burnout.
This is a typical optical illusion that appears as the population becomes overcrowded in the capital. Apart from the metropolitan area, apartments in other parts of Korea are empty and poorly priced. As everyone flocks to Seoul, housing prices in Seoul skyrocket. Everyone, including the people in the video, only wants to live in Seoul. Apart from Seoul and the metropolitan area, you can purchase an apartment with a loan from a bank with just 1 year of savings. This problem needs to be resolved.
As an American... who's young, but not that young... I watched this & saw a lot of similarities between South Korea & the United States, as far as young workers goes, and good jobs.... The thing is we don't have the option of public transportation & small apartments we can even rent like "goshiwon"... We have to have, a vehicle, expensive freaking auto insurance... *sighs* can't even write it off for taxes.. . Christ its depressing! But here's the kicker, Korean parents may be strict, but at least they seem to care for their kids & try to guide them toward success... I know I didn't have that when I was growing up. *sighs*

I feel for them. That's why so many students stress hard over academics to get into a SKY university to secure their future through networking. If you're not a part of the elite, it's a lot more difficult to get the elite jobs at a conglomerate like Samsung, Hyundai, etc.

@@yenchu1237 That doesn't improve life in the country. It has the opposite effect of suppressing wages and increasing competition for jobs and housing.

Watching this and reflecting on myself. Wow, I feel incredibly grateful and a bit ashamed for being in such a good position (on the ladder of my dream career, with a good and flexible job, and being in an environment without such extreme competition), while knowing there's so many people my age out there working 10 times harder but still struggling to make ends meet. Too often I find myself taking things for granted, I wonder if I can survive in such a make-you-or-break-you society. Nothing but admiration and respect for the peeps in the video plus millions out there, may one day you'll all gonna make it!
Why are you watching a vid like this? are you just wanting to humble yourself or something? I know I watched b/c I was hoping to learn strategies on how to cope with a similar situation.
I’m really grateful I was born and raised in the Philippines. We may not be a country that is highly educated nor financially rich but our people are wiser and richer in spirit. ❤
Have u been living in diff planet?? It’s time to get more educated to know how bad situation Philippines is. Ur country is still developing & has vy high poverty rate with vy corrupt Govt, what so lucky about living in PH?? If PH such great country then why almost everyone born in PH wants to leave soon to work in overseas, they won’t want to come back to PH if they have a chance. Avg salary in PH also at shocking low, about 14-15 times LOWER than Singapore, at least Korea only 3-4 times lower than Singapore.😊 In case u not aware that there are over 200k Filipinos working as a maid or nurse in Singapore as almost every household in sg has a live in foreign maid.❤❤
In my old days in my university in Spain, i walked along with a partner and his korean girlfriend. That same day, while walking in the main street of our city, we crossed near a bunch of workers reclaiming their rights. The girl was near crying. My partner and me were shocked, cause we couldn't understand what was happening to her. Seeing this video made me realize: she was happy to see people still fighting for their freedom and rights, meanwhile their people gave up long time ago... So sad
That is completely false. There are tons of strikes and worker unions in Korea. Korea has it’s issues but not more than in Spain or anywhere else. Just a different set of problems. Every nation has their own
Pues no sé qué decirte, con unos de los salarios más bajos de europa, inflación, retraso de la edad de la jubilación, coste de alquiler, hipotecas desorbitadas….en España estamos fatal y nadie sale a la calle.
I didn't realize everywhere was like this. I'm in the US and in Northern Virginia. It's to a point where I don't need to worry about ever getting a house and leaving my apartment because if I don't work nonstop overtime I will be homeless. It's pretty scary how my optimism has changed so much in the past 5years from the skies the limit to looking up ways to make top ramen taste better.

Expired food doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bad. Most of the time they are as fresh as the food still within the expiry date. I learn to not waste by just using my 5 senses to ensure I am eating safely. We are doing something good for earth and tonnes of food waste.

@@txavielhumano6541 you're right. Capitalism doesn't work. It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore. Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought?

It’s bittersweet that the young interviewees still have hopes for the future despite the pessimistic social backdrop. I hope all of their wishes come true.
I worked at a company in Korea that required a university degree, and my visa is only given to Native English speakers from seven countries. My salary ranged from 2.4 to 2.9 mill won which tracks with the video. Before the pandemic that salary was okay, because I didn’t pay rent, and only wanted to save about one million won a month. The rest was used for expenses and trips. If I wanted to save to buy an apartment it would be impossible. It is depressing that students need to study so hard to try to get into a chaebol company, just to live somewhat comfortably, but it still isn’t enough to buy an apartment.
Imo, rentals are the biggest perpetrators for wealth disparity within a nation. Rent effectively eats up 1/4-1/2 of your salary. Situation is made much worse by investment companies that mass buy property for the goal of leasing, which drives up housing prices, which drives up rental costs, and lowers the amount of available property on the market for normal people
Tips to live your life fully and happily: 1. Unapologetically remove people in your life if they no longer serve you well. Unfriend them in social media if they are being toxic or mute them if you cannot unfriend them. 2. Filter your social media to help with things you goal for. If you want to be a minimalist, follow minimalist contents, if you want photography, architecture, art, follow things related to it. Dont be weirded out if some months, you like different things. It is ok and it is normal, taylor your socials to whatever you want if that will leave you inspired and motivated. 3. Don't take people's advice to heart, they sometimes dont know what they are talking about. If you need advice with money, seek it it to platforms or people who are knowledgable. 4. Not all people really care. You're insecure, thats ok, its normal, but dont overthink other people really care about your insecurities when reality is, they do not or at least not as much. And if they use it against you? There's nothing to life but to be happy, so why care. I know its easier said than done but sometimes its just in our mind. I hope this one learning I got from a book helps: Your mind, its created to think, in whatever ways it can. It can think of the impossible, it can think of the possible, you're awake, it doesnt stop thinking, you're asleep, its still working. But, as a person, our job is to hear it out not be it. Imagine yourself as a listener to your brain. What it says doesnt mean that is how you are. It can go imaginable places, dream of dreams too far, but you is you. And whats in the mind if not done is just an idea. 4. Be present. As someone in my late 20s that is in this same cycle of work work work, to save save save, to eventually have this and that. I just gave up. I refused to be in that vision of tomorrow, rather I goal of to be of now. What I mean by this is example: I am not gonna make my home nice YET bc I'm saving. I'll have this fancy home when I get to have this X amount of money etc. Its bllsht! Since I was young we constantly move places bc of my parents work. And never did I have that dream room bc of that. I know this story sounds pathetic but! there was a realization. You're wants doesnt end as long as you're alive. I'm up to living within your means, but living a good nice life is within our reach. Simply doing a small tweak, have your home cozy and nice will make a big difference. When you feel great about your body and environment, you become generally motivated. Brush your teeth, take a bath, take a walk, buy that cute nice lamp for 20 instead if that aweful designed one for 10 that doesnt spark joy. Eat healthy, eat well. Exercise. I know, what a broken record but thats the most practical advice that makes such a big difference. 5. Have a Lord, God, you can trust. You can only take a certain weight. Mental capacity isn't enough, sometimes it betrays, even the body you have, even the actions you do, even your family and friends, they can betray. So what's there left? It might be not the most "scientific" advice. You might think how can you believe on someone who you cannot see. But, how about your overthinking? Its not happening yet you believe, now what's the difference? You just have to choose one way or the other. Choose your battle. Dont take life so seriously and make it complicated. Living life one step at a time is ok. You are totally fine no matter how the world sometimes make us feel useless. Love you all and take care always!
I wish everyone luck and happiness in the future. I hope that Jaram’s goal within this year happens so she can get more sleep. It was great to see how two of the participants were able to use their issues to turn it to something positive.
Life is unfair, some people fight really hard and work overtime because they really care about others and doing things right, but still they earn way less than people in the same position. A lot of people who are intelligent, changes things for the better for everyone around them but gets nothing back for the hard work they put in.
I agree. It's same in the usa. And then there are also many Americans who just gave up on their jobs and society. They just fell flat at home like one of my 50 year old neighbor, Brian.

Yeah it’s not just there in Korea, same thing here in the USA. I’ve lived similar journey. Here in the Tristate area they call them SRO’s where you share living space but have a tiny room. It’s better than nothing but the rising cost of living and endless money printing is causing this issue. Nobody has enough money for anything therefore the money is essentially worthless.
I live in Canada, and this is very similar to our reality. Unaffordable homes, must work 2-3 jobs, isolated, no social life, contemplating s*ide*, etc. This is not living.
Isn’t this just a modernized version of the Joseon society in which people were literally life-bound into whatever socioeconomic caste their ancestors inhabited? I feel so sorry for the majority of these people who did all that society claimed would give them a better life only to find themselves being slowly locked into semi-permanent lower level servitude. But I hope they come to realize it doesn’t have to be this way. I hope they can begin experimenting with group/collective efforts to break the economic chains being placed on them. At some point more young people need to refuse to participate in this “Hell Joseon” society that only benefits a select rich upperclass.

I've had to start over from scratch from a kid, moving from place to place, meeting new people. Now I live in a homestead taking care of animals, farming, almost in a reservation. It is difficult and quite challenging at times, but once the dust settles it is all worth. My way can get some getting used to but it has kept me more relaxed and less anxious than most of my experiences.
This is why many of the top achievers from South Korea, Taiwan, China,…..immigrates to the west after having children so that their children would have a better life even though they achieved a lot in their own birth country.

not in Africa. not in eastern Europe. not in orthodox eurasia. not in south America. not in the arab world. not in large swaths of india. so, no. not everywhere nor almost everywhere.
Korea is somewhat similar to my country, Philippines. People do mind social status and your wealth. They don’t care if you struggle. What they cared about is money, money, money. I used to live in the Philippines, left the country for 5 years and now companies won’t hire me because of my age and thinking that I will be back to Portugal anyway. Such discrimination and selective process these companies have in the Philippines. Meanwhile in Portugal, I worked as a receptionist and an all - around staff working alone in the hotel, basically managing by my own, worked in company where they promoted me as manager but eventually quit due to mental breakdown. I have saved some money but I would rather choose my health than a job that will drain your body and soul. I am in the Philippines for some months winding down and getting an increase of anxiety since I am going back to Portugal once more. Where i can get job easily compared to my homeland. How I wish that the world don’t make it too harsh for our generations, but that’s a wishful thinking that might not come true.

True. Good thinking 🤔. If only more peeps think like that in Asia or America. I work part-time for the last 2 years. I've known mid age people who just gave up on jobs, society, social life like my neighbor Brian. 🙃 He just stays home to do his diy project which is like wasting time when he could use his skills to help his family by going part time work outside da house and buying food/groceries for them.
@@small_fries7573 Your neighbor Brian has basically retired. If people focused on their DIY projects and stopped working then they would be out in the streets because bills are expensive.
I have zero remorse. I’ve lived here for 7 years and they do it to themselves. Their society is unwilling to change because at the end of the day, their social status is all that matters. Individuals hate it, but collectively they cannot let go. No one is willing to do anything different

PSA: Sleeping three hours a day will KILL YOU. Don't do that.
It actually won’t - don’t scare the insomniacs. But it will weaken the body quite a bit and with enough exertion - like these young Koreans are doing - their chances of dying are much higher.
Edit: Since I'm getting lots of 'rebuttals' from who are just essentially rephrasing my points in agreement regarding sleep - imma answer this once and for all. But first, insomniacs, people who can't make the time to sleep, here's actual helpful advice to you - ignore these obtuse people, they literally don't know what they are talking about. Take it easy on yourself, rest when you can and when you feel you must - do not ignore the signals your body is sending you. Sleeping is not the only form of rejuvenation. Try to see an expert if you can - do you already know what's the root cause of your issue? Meanwhile, have patience with yourself, mediate, relax, be happy. You will be fine.
And now for the purposefully obtuse, yes, sleep is important, not once have I suggested or advocated otherwise. But no, not having enough sleep alone will NOT kill you. Anyone who says otherwise, have you even looked up on the scientific data on insomnia and life expectancy? Have you studied it? Have you worked with patients with chronic insommia? Saying that sleeping 3 hours a day WILL kill you is not only scientifically and statistically inaccurate, it is fear mongering. Let's not pretend that the fact that 'sleep is important' is new information - people who are suffering from sleep deprivation already know it and feel it, and nobody should be adding needless stress on people who are already going through a hard time. People should be more conscientious of the effect of their words but why be precise or nuanced when making hyperbolic statements like OP did is more exciting, I guess.

What is truly infuriating is that this situation is very similar at its core to all developed countries. Young people working incredibly hard and living like this, completely unsure if their fufutre. And then the older, ruling generation wonders why we are all depressed, stressed, anxious and not having kids? How can we afford a child, financially, mentally or time-wise?
That’s why white young adults flock the 3rd world Asian countries cuz them dollars can make them queen and kings because living expenses were dirt cheap
All developed countries are not like this, west Europe, nodic and north America Have a balanced life, East Asia is famous for hard workers,Competition is very tight, school and work are too tiring and stressful. This is why their country is so developed
I feel bad for young gen z in Korea, Japan, and China. They got very difficult path ahead in life.
Back in 1980 when I got my girls jod, I couldn't afford to live on my either. Had to have a roommate or 2 or live at home until I made better money.

Mexican here, I got a dream job in a good company and I was treated like a slave...I was working from 7-8 am until 11-12 pm but they keep reminding me how lucky I was for being there 😂 I quit and I'll never go back...I'd rather starve to death than going back to that place 😊
That is super common here in Mexico... Mexico is way more overworked that Korea actually, we work 2,127.8 hours per year.
What calls my attention though is that it is hardly heard in other countries.. We hear a lot about cases like Korea, for example, but it's not very well known that in Mexico we work up to 50 hours per week.
Not sure if it has to do with how we Mexicans believe it is "okay" to work too much, and that being overworked is something valuable 🙄
@@mjlpbn Nah, it has to do with the world conditioned to believe any news about Mexico that's worth paying attention to is how the drug cartels are running the show there😂. Media bias is real.

Are you dumb? 2,127hr/52= 40hr/week THAT IS NORMAL!!

this is happening all over the world. the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. the poor are withdrawing because: whats the point in playing the game when you know the game is rigged and youll never get ahead no matter how hard or long you work?
Absolutely
Yeah, my 50 year old white American neighbor has not worked for few years. Brian just flat out gave up on working and society. He's coup up inside the house or outside the backyard doing his own thing almost daily.
Life is unpredictable and issues usually come up. Anyone from any age is not guaranteed tomorrow. Even young people should think 🤔 about heaven ✨️ or hell 🔥.
Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.

The main problem with korean culture isn't that they work so hard. Its that they all convince and pressure each other to do prestigious jobs they hate. Not everyone is wired to be a doctor or an engineer. Promote people following their passions and with the built in work ethic it would be a much happier and prosperous society.
Capalitist countries couldn't care less what their workers want. They are numbers sadly. S Korea has grown very fast due to this competitive society. Capitalist societies aren't sustainable, they are all going to collapse within 20 years.
@@Natta44And what option you propose, socialism JAJA😂?
@@Natta44 I can’t imagine Soviet factory workers got what they want. Only educated if they are the best with no way to pay to go themselves. Capitalism requires workers at all wage points and also innovation of new industry. Under capitalism a person can just attend college or trade school to learn a new career. Can’t happen under socialism or communism. Capitalism has been going on for more than a century. Communism fell in half that time.
@@kristinesharp6286 My mom chose the job which she wanted, to which she really had passion. And got enough money to go to the seaside every year and raise a child. Also, she got a new flat just because she worked. So yes, she got what she wanted to in Soviet Union. Right now, I know a lot of people who works on well-paid jobs just to get money and hate their jobs. Under socialism everyone can attend college or trade school to learn new career, without paying for it, you just need to be clever enough. Under capitalism you can have rich parents or have 2 works to pay for your study
@@thekinginthenorth5230 no not everyone can attend college or trade school under socialism. Today in Russia you have to be the % of students or you have to pay and go to a paying school. Everyone can’t in North Korea go to free school. Not if your uncle pissed off the wrong person you will be relocated. 80% in South Korea go to college. It is just some are knocking themselves out to go the top few schools. Parents throw money at it. Go into debt to throw money at. It ridiculous they need a financial management section on the exam so they learn how stupid it is. So they are going with 80% attending. In the U.S. you can live a perfectly happy, happier life not going to Harvard. I hate to tell you in the USSR everyone wasn’t equal. Those that did well under the USSR did well when the wall fell. Tell me how did they decide who lived in the 5 floor walk up post 40’s and who lived in the prewar apartment with elevator? Of course things were unequal. The children of serfs in rural areas didn’t get the same education as the kid in Moscow. Are you kidding me?
This video reminds me of why I left Korea. I was considered a 'winner' in its intensely competitive society, having graduated with both a BA and MA from Y, one of the SKY. I secured a job in a major Jaebol conglomerate, earning a high salary. However, I found myself frustrated because the so-called successful life was also miserable. The competition was relentless, especially within the firm for higher positions. Despite the high pay, there was no time to enjoy the money earned, and the never-ending comparisons made it a challenging environment. Even those deemed 'winners' were not happy, who would be?
I find the capitalist culture of working hard,earn money, get stressed, buy things you don’t need, work harder.. repeat. It’s an empty existence.
@@moonmissy Yes and an unsustainable one. I have never seen people smile as brightly as children in poor villages that have a deeper sense of bond with their community.

Where do you live now? i hope youre more happy now ☺
I hope you have better life now and enjoying wherever you are. That environment where you came from is very toxic, its what I noticed when watching kdramas too 😅
I have been amazed at how people can glorify no sleep. In my experience Koreans do that the most. Sleep is an essential part of human life. It's not something we "deserve" or not. What's next? The need to prove our worth to deserve air?
Exactly I used to be this way… as in using my time to learn and stay up late night and be in the computer. That’s until I started having manic episodes and hallucinating from lack of sleep. It scared the crap out of me because I started being paranoid. Now I sleep when I can.
That's so sad.. sleep is a non-negotiable thing. People think they can give up sleep and just study/work more but if you don't sleep enough, you can't even focus on your studies/work and you can't do your best. It's a false belief that we can gain anything by giving up sleep, in my opinion.
@Miyankochan
Also, lack of sleep + heavy machine operation is very much a no no. OSHA would have banned it if they could, but they can't mandate how long people need to sleep
We kind of already do have to prove our worth for better air. Statistically, the poorer you are, the more likely you will live in an urban area with bad air quality therefor contributing to shorter life expectancy. Richer folk in the surburbs/countryside have cleaner air. Life isn't fair. But it's been like this for centuries.
İts a part of Asian culture I guess. I would choose to be homeless instead of living this sht.
I was born in South Korea, but my family immigrated to Canada. My dad thought that I'd get bullied in high school and the military service would be too hard for me. I am glad that I don't live in South Korea anymore. There are so much more opportunities here in Canada, but my dad had to sacrifice his well-paying professional job for me and my brothers can have a better future.
I have the exact same experience as you - my dad left his well paying job at Samsung in order to come to Canada for my brother and I because of the harsh education system.
When I was a child it was hard because I was away from the rest of my family and had to be a translator for my parents who didn't speak english very well, but now that I'm older I appreciate their sacrifice.

My youngest brother is in the military, he’s in RMC, plans to be a combat engineer.
The part where they said that living in a small room can have long lasting impacts on mental health ringed a bell. Three years ago, I've lived for about 7 months in a very small appartment in Paris due to the high renting price there (the room was the size of two double beds, the single room included a bed, a kitchen counter and a desk, and the windows were so high that you couldn't see outside without standing on a chair). Because of the lockdown I could only go sometime outside for work or meeting my friends, so I stayed about 5 days at home per weeks.
Well I've never been more depressed than in those times. Being so confined in this space, the littlest inconvenience in the house (the heater not working, my fridge breaking etc) put me in genuine dispair. For idk what reason, I started being scared of inviting people to come over, or even come outside. At the end I could spend days sitting down on the ground against my bed listening to the noises my neighbour's parrot was making.
Then I've been hospitalized (for other health conditions) and moved out but looking back it was scary what this place did to me.
Singapore is moving in the same direction! Tiny island wants to jam in 7 million and more. The apartments are becoming very much smaller, building taller and prices inflating every year. Humans need a certain amount of personal spaces in order to thrive and be emotionally happy. Overcrowding causes a lot of daily stress!! However, Asian countries' leaders don't understand that allowing their citizens personal space and time to enjoy leisure, family life, hobbies and travel etc. makes for a happier, stronger and more productive nation. They just squeeze and exploit them to the very last drop. This leads to decline and death of a society.
Sorry to hear that, Hope you're better now ❤
@@s._3560Since when Singapore has 7 million ppl? Singapore is NOT the same as Korea cos their salary is 3 times LOWER than Singapore. Singapore at least is a progressive country & has highest avg salary in asia, is the only asia country that came in world top 10 highest.❤❤
That's not just happening in South Korea, It's a global phenomenon in most developed countries. Whe have the same situation here in Canada. Many young people are suffering from depression and becoming homeless due to many social issues, unaffordable cost of living and lack of job opportunities.
True it's global phenomenon

@LolyBest: Really? 😱 With the Ukraine war dragging on, high energy cost in Western Europe will be the norm, they will not have much of an economy left.

It’s ok . We will all overwork ourselves to death. Our societies will implode and people from outside with better values - less work obsessed, family focused, who value leisure snd slow pace like Africans and Muslims will take over and build something better in future.
I'm the same generation and honestly today is a lot better than back then. Quality of life is alot better too. Trust me the life in South Korea is a heckuva lot better than North Korea where sure there's no stress but living in a stress free no competition kinda environment is also very unfulfilling. The trick is to find balance. You don't have to play that rat race game keeping up with the Jones.

Correct!!!
Most are so programmed to see reality beyond their cultural and social conformities, life that we are is universal and if your mind,body and spirit diverged from the whole, the depression and sense of lost become order of the day and illusion of retiring is a big scam created by societies, many never make it or end up in old peoples

This issue is not isolated to South Korea. I am in tech, in the US. Globalization, endless innovations, competition, and neck-breaking speed means crazy long hours. I work 15 to 17 hour days, 6 days a week, including holidays. The pandemic induced work-from-home approach means I now burn 16 to 19 hours a day with work. I absolutely stop at 19 hours, so I can have 5 hours to sleep. Having a good education and moving up the career ladder doesn't mean you work less and it usually means the opposite. So the issue impacts all segments of society. You have these youth that don't have enough money to live, and you have older generation that make more money but absolutely no time to spend money or enjoy life or the fruition of the hard work. What the world need is to slow down... We don't need a new phone, tech toy, or TV every year...
Absolutely true. We don't need more technology development. We don't work harder anymore. But they need money and they control us.
In US too? I'm surprised to hear that. I was in US for 1 month (many many years ago) as a trainee before returning to my home country in Asia. I got the impression that my US colleagues were pretty easy going when it comes to their working hours. They can leave their office , anytime they liked, when they liked. I was in the manufacturing sector back then
The result of capitalism…
I think we are in the last phase of capitalism
Then what are the good jobs out their

Dude not all people born with wealth like you
I lived in Korea. University student. this is motivating me to speak out about my experiance there too.
I truly understand how they can get depressed to the point of suicide...
it is strange to admit to this.
I had bad Proffessors (not all ofc) but 1,2 bad proffessors in my Uni ...and I was doing the work (we all were) for the Korean Prononciation Class.
it was an unavoidable F from the start. I saw first hand how (students)you can do the assignments ! did all the work ! and still graded an F ...
I was the only one who spoke out about it. another Professor who I was on better terms with tried to talk to the difficult one.
next class that Proffessor told us to *quote* "not beg our grades up" ... Unbelievable ...
in the course description it said we will be graded not only by Test results , but also attendance and assignments
this Proffessor ...did not grade anyone based on all of these points. either an F or a D+
and imagine if you have a University with mostly Proffessors like that...
that Proffessor even (practically bragging) said that... last year she had a student that begged her not to give her an F because she will lose her scolarship.
so in Hankuk University there is a Proffessor going rouge ,grading most of her students F ....and no one can do anything about it because it seemed like she "knows a suit upstairs" (understand?)
I truly can see how ppl get demoralized and depressed.
they are holding their own youth back.
it is a good University and mostly good experiance but I did have this experiance.
after seeing this I almost felt like it is my duty to type this here so it is known.
saying AnYthInG ~ negative sounding about a University of theirs ..and you can forget ever going back there.
so I had this fear but not anymore after seeing this.
they need to Not hold back their youth.
Thank you for sharing your story. As a college student in the US I had also run into a couple of bad professors, but hearing how it happens to that extent in your case is awful
@@khatunguyen7608 also here in Hungary we have these type professors.
I didn't mean to make my comment seem too "anti-Korea" but the severity is definitely worse there , is my opinion.
It's look like subtle bullying and sadistic behaviour. 😂 Bet the professors really enjoying to see people suffering, begging and asking for mercy.
Abusing power they have to get sense of power and control over others. To feel powerful and superior. 😂
"Competition in Korean society is tough." ...... I remember Koreans saying that about 20 years ago. I have a feeling they will continue to say so for a long time to come.
I live in Italy, have a degree in psychology and work as a hand in a glass foundry. The imbalance between scholarization and workplaces is not just a Korean thing.
Its a scam. Well in the UK it is. People are driven to university to get pointless degrees or degrees with no job prospects at the end. When we should be all learning a trade or skill we can take away in life. Its a scam to.make everyone poorer.
Did not your find a job in psychology??
Psychology and jobs are two words that cannot exist in the same sentence.😂
My family moved from Korea to the US when I was 7. I'm 48 now and feel so blessed that. We recently visited Korea for two months and seeing the rest of the relatives live such meager living standards and most still being fairly poor reiterated to my father that he and my mom made the right choice 40 years ago.
Glad u shared your story. Most important thing in life is finding God, Jesus Christ by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior so u can go to heaven after this life. Money is important, but it's temporary depending on how long a person live (30, 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80 yrs. )
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven.
But don't lose hope. Anyone can be saved from their sins and from going to hell in two easy, peasy steps:
1. Realize that you are a sinner who CAN'T SAVE YOURSELF from going to the lake of fire (forever) 🔥 based on your good deeds, your own philosophy, and other religions.
2. Realize that you need to believe in your heart ❤️ that ONLY Jesus Christ died for your sins.
If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart ❤️ man believe unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

If the only reason to work is to not starve, and no amount of savings gets me any closer to my dream of a family and my own house, then the sweet release of death doesnt seem too bad. What is even the point?
there is always another way that you can embark on. sometimes you just have to head into the opposite direction of what everybody else is saying and doing, even your family. I was at a similar point 2 years ago in Germany, but than I just cut all ties, worked a lot and manage to build something from scratch which can now sustain my living with a few hours of work each day. whatever your goals are, you can do it too

Seung gyu has a good heart, I hope that he is able to help more people with their struggles.
I thought the words by the woman with the fashionable scarf, "Everyone is running towards the same goal" were profound. We are NOT best served by a society where diversity is not valued. When parents punish their children for wanting to go off the beaten track (if not physically then emotionally), it leads to poorer outcomes for everyone. We absolutely need our sanitation workers, our musicians, our bus drivers, and every other role crucial to making a happy and functional society.
If the same goal is earning enough money to afford a decent place to live, save for retirement and raise a family, I don't see any problem at that. Also as this video points out, not graduating from one of the very top universities means you're essentially economically stuck. Parents know this,and pushing their kids to get the best grades possible is totally understandable given this context.
Recently went on a tour in Seoul that sheds light on life of the young generation in Korea. It suddenly felt not as stressful to be working and living in Singapore 😂
SG is fine if you don't need to rent your own place. If you need to rent, then it's fine if you're median income or higher.
What tour was that?
@@sxonly Side Effects of Development l Gangnam Walking Tour
It's think it was around sgd40+ per pax? I personally found it worth every cent because as a tourist, my interactions with the locals have always been limited to 'How do I go to ...' and 'Can I get one of this?' 😂So when a local brings me around to tell me their life story, I am so appreciative.
They also run an evening tour in Seoul with similiar theme.

Some of these people who didn't go to traditional school have other skills that kept them going. I think this should be also recognized by companies to hire this type of people base on their skills not just education. If you know how to do the job well why not hire and pay them well. These gives incentives to people who wants to do the job base on their skills and not just educational background.
It'd be better to select workers based more on their personality and interests -- and not spend so much effort determining the absolute top candidate out of thousands of applicants -- instead of purely comparing paper to your impossible ideal, then provide OJT. This is more like how companies used to hire (and how the public sector and military still does hire) before the internet made the whole world "accessible" (which goes both ways), and firms got lazy wanting to instead lean on public education and poaching from competitors to fill their staffing needs.
@@doujinflipI agree. My law firm interviewed a guy with perfect LSAT. score and great grades. He didn't get an offer because he had an awful personality and no people skills.
There's that, but companies with an overload of workers also use education to weed out people with out having to explain themselves away. Just say,"you don't have the qualifications". And that's it. You just waste all your energy, time, and resources to prepare for the interview, then bam!!! "You don't qualify"

A lot of people romanticise the thought of living in South Korea especially with the rise in popularity of kdramas but in reality life there is difficult. I am from NZ and spoke with a client from Sth Korea, i asked him how life was back in his home country, he said "it was shxt, I'll never go back" He is working jere in NZ an earning at livable wage. I hope everybody succeeds in life whether its financially, mentally, physically.... All the best to all,. especially those in despair, you will get through the tough times.
This is happening world wide & as a parent I cannot let my children suffer so I let them stay at home until they think they can stand on their own. I also don’t understand the amount of pressure that the South Koreans impose on their children as far as education because in our country, when you are done with school, you go home, do your homework & do self study for an examination or a quiz. Then you can relax the rest of the evening till bedtime.
As a Pakistani we blessed that we don't need to be worried about home or accommodation.we young generation also have farm land like I am 27 year old and have girl friend .if I don't earn a penny for maybe 3 year still survive ...No pressure from society we live very slow natural life ...
The Lord Jesus Christ became the Savior of sinners (all humans) by coming down from Heaven & dying on the 🪵 wooden cross for our sins. God raised Him from the dead, and Jesus is now a living Savior with God in heaven.

You're why kids are weak these days. Back in the way kids were kicked out at adulthood and that taught them mental toughness
Everybody in South Korea was pushed by society to "look rich," and then they were exhausted.
Much like most Asian countries, in the place I live (a developing country), society pushed us to look rich as well, even with a mountain of debt behind it. Hey, at least you look rich, right?
Very true, their amount of debt is terrible. Faking having luxury goods and driving expensive big car but empty pockets.
Mountain ahaha this reminds me my hiking trip in Korea or more precisely « Fashion Week in the Korean mountains » I was speechless, everyone (youngsters and elders) was wearing trendy hiking clothes with the latest brand new equipment. I felt so miserable Lol
@@HikeJ1 Luxury “items” are only for rich families and elite class anyway, so I don’t know why they market them for broke lower class >.>

I absolutely love the project initiated by Seung Gyu. What a beautiful lesson of humanity, togetherness and solidarity to overcome your difficulties. Kudos young man ❤
Same thing happening here in the Philippines. Prices getting more costly, but wage isn't going up, literally working 2 jobs day and night
It's definitely heartbreaking to see the tough conditions that Korean youngers are experiencing. Eastern Asia countries should find their ways to create a sustainable society for next generations! Hope we can make it, brothers and sisters.🙏

It is hearbreaking to see these young people struggling in life. They have goals, they want to work hard, but the marketplace is so tough. Those who sleep 3 hours a day are inviting mental / physical breakdown at some point. The issue seems to be many-layered, and I know Japan and China youths are facing the same thing to various extents. Prayers to them and wishes that the conditions change for the better and there will be places in the society for them to thrive.
What do u think 🤔 of those Americans who don't even wanna work at all & just stay home 24/7 for few years now? I know my american neighbors who are currently going through this.
Are they worse off or those who work 2 much?
At least they're not homeless. I know a lot people who sleep on car even with stable job.
Seung Gyn is a role model and hero. I’m in awe of what he does because he experienced it himself and wants to change that for others who felt what he did. There are many people who are cheering you on! ✨✨✨✨✨
The purchasing manager at my job was also working nights at a liquor store 😔 I still live with family with the hopes of one day getting a condo for my kid and me. It's very well a global phenomenon. Wages have not caught up to inflation at all. I just hope the best for all of us! 😭
The first girl is literally living to work and not the other way around. I thought of migrating to a developed country for selfish reasons and because of soc med posts romanticizing such life in developed countries. However, I was soon slapped by reality after thorough research that in order for me to survive, going back to square one, living in a foreign country, I will need to work 3 jobs. I was like, na ah. I'm good in my country. At least here, I have work-life balance. Many inconveniences though, that comes with living in a third world country but those are mostly annoyances and easily overcome. If I pursued living abroad as a single person, I will only live to work and that will easily take a toll on my overall health. I don't wanna die like that. I mean, even if I live in a third world country, not many of my countrymen can have the life that I have so seeing this makes me more appreciative of what I have, even if I lack a lot in life.
I don’t know where you’re from but you’re absolutely correct. Take for example in the US, even if u make $100k/yr, it’s a decent salary income but you gotta work hard for it. In addition, rent here in the US skyrocketed. An average of $2,000 in most cities plus u need a car (average brand new $700, while used-car is $500/month). Healthcare care here is a “hellcare” unless your employer provides you with health insurance but it is a crime to get sick and taken to the ER in the US (3 hrs admitted to the ER cost my insurance $15,000, my co-pay was $300 due to stomach ache) Korea on the other hand where living in the not so good apartment, area or “goshiwon” isn’t as bad thing compare in the US where cheap apartments has (bad neighborhoods, drug addicts, and crime happening around the area)
@@lasvegasnevada7514she from Philippines
Atleast the 1st girl is doing her best. The doc says her monthly salary from 2 jobs is close to $4,200, & her monthly expenditure is about $900. And she saves rest for opening her own convenient store. And she will do so in a year. With her dedication, she will be OK.
Haha that’s extremely optimistic. There are many factors against her. Extreme sleep deprivation, inflation, and poor mental health
I think the most appropriate action would be to focus 100% on one specific job, particularly her web design role rather than having 2 jobs and basically screwing your body over. The fact that she’s getting scolded for her mistakes and poor performance implies that she’s not doing well in her first job which is probably because of how exhausting a 2 job routine is, hence she would not be chosen over others who focus entirely on their role and would easily perform better than her. Rising costs wise, I think it’s definitely necessary to cut down on expenses drastically for a few months as she gets her life in check. Maybe checking with her relatives if she could borrow a bit, or live with them for a while. Personally, it would not make sense to start a business when you’re struggling with costs. A single unfortunate event or anything involving her already poor health would basically shut down any chances she had. You can’t expect a sleep deprived, desperate person to be rational though.
« She will be ok » LMAO sleeping 3 hours a day with 2 jobs ?!?
She is ruining her health (psychologically and physically) and will eventually get a burnout.
@@ridiculousaf6674Completely agree with you. Couldn’t have said it better.
@@HikeJ1 Thank you
You mean $42,000/month or $4,200 ?
This is a typical optical illusion that appears as the population becomes overcrowded in the capital. Apart from the metropolitan area, apartments in other parts of Korea are empty and poorly priced.
As everyone flocks to Seoul, housing prices in Seoul skyrocket.
Everyone, including the people in the video, only wants to live in Seoul.
Apart from Seoul and the metropolitan area, you can purchase an apartment with a loan from a bank with just 1 year of savings.
This problem needs to be resolved.
Wishing her all the best. She is a winner with a winners mindset. It's only a matter of time until she manifests her desired lifestyle🙌🏼
As an American... who's young, but not that young... I watched this & saw a lot of similarities between South Korea & the United States, as far as young workers goes, and good jobs....
The thing is we don't have the option of public transportation & small apartments we can even rent like "goshiwon"...
We have to have, a vehicle, expensive freaking auto insurance... *sighs* can't even write it off for taxes.. .
Christ its depressing!
But here's the kicker, Korean parents may be strict, but at least they seem to care for their kids & try to guide them toward success...
I know I didn't have that when I was growing up. *sighs*

I worked at a company in Korea that required a university degree, and my visa is only given to Native English speakers from seven countries. My salary ranged from 2.4 to 2.9 mill won which tracks with the video. Before the pandemic that salary was okay, because I didn’t pay rent, and only wanted to save about one million won a month. The rest was used for expenses and trips. If I wanted to save to buy an apartment it would be impossible. It is depressing that students need to study so hard to try to get into a chaebol company, just to live somewhat comfortably, but it still isn’t enough to buy an apartment.
Imo, rentals are the biggest perpetrators for wealth disparity within a nation. Rent effectively eats up 1/4-1/2 of your salary. Situation is made much worse by investment companies that mass buy property for the goal of leasing, which drives up housing prices, which drives up rental costs, and lowers the amount of available property on the market for normal people
Tips to live your life fully and happily:
1. Unapologetically remove people in your life if they no longer serve you well. Unfriend them in social media if they are being toxic or mute them if you cannot unfriend them.
2. Filter your social media to help with things you goal for. If you want to be a minimalist, follow minimalist contents, if you want photography, architecture, art, follow things related to it. Dont be weirded out if some months, you like different things. It is ok and it is normal, taylor your socials to whatever you want if that will leave you inspired and motivated.
3. Don't take people's advice to heart, they sometimes dont know what they are talking about. If you need advice with money, seek it it to platforms or people who are knowledgable.
4. Not all people really care. You're insecure, thats ok, its normal, but dont overthink other people really care about your insecurities when reality is, they do not or at least not as much. And if they use it against you? There's nothing to life but to be happy, so why care. I know its easier said than done but sometimes its just in our mind. I hope this one learning I got from a book helps: Your mind, its created to think, in whatever ways it can. It can think of the impossible, it can think of the possible, you're awake, it doesnt stop thinking, you're asleep, its still working. But, as a person, our job is to hear it out not be it. Imagine yourself as a listener to your brain. What it says doesnt mean that is how you are. It can go imaginable places, dream of dreams too far, but you is you. And whats in the mind if not done is just an idea.
4. Be present. As someone in my late 20s that is in this same cycle of work work work, to save save save, to eventually have this and that. I just gave up. I refused to be in that vision of tomorrow, rather I goal of to be of now. What I mean by this is example: I am not gonna make my home nice YET bc I'm saving. I'll have this fancy home when I get to have this X amount of money etc. Its bllsht! Since I was young we constantly move places bc of my parents work. And never did I have that dream room bc of that. I know this story sounds pathetic but! there was a realization. You're wants doesnt end as long as you're alive. I'm up to living within your means, but living a good nice life is within our reach. Simply doing a small tweak, have your home cozy and nice will make a big difference. When you feel great about your body and environment, you become generally motivated. Brush your teeth, take a bath, take a walk, buy that cute nice lamp for 20 instead if that aweful designed one for 10 that doesnt spark joy. Eat healthy, eat well. Exercise. I know, what a broken record but thats the most practical advice that makes such a big difference.
5. Have a Lord, God, you can trust. You can only take a certain weight. Mental capacity isn't enough, sometimes it betrays, even the body you have, even the actions you do, even your family and friends, they can betray. So what's there left? It might be not the most "scientific" advice. You might think how can you believe on someone who you cannot see. But, how about your overthinking? Its not happening yet you believe, now what's the difference? You just have to choose one way or the other. Choose your battle.
Dont take life so seriously and make it complicated. Living life one step at a time is ok. You are totally fine no matter how the world sometimes make us feel useless. Love you all and take care always!
I wish everyone luck and happiness in the future.

A lot of people who are intelligent, changes things for the better for everyone around them but gets nothing back for the hard work they put in.
I agree. It's same in the usa. And then there are also many Americans who just gave up on their jobs and society. They just fell flat at home like one of my 50 year old neighbor, Brian.
@@small_fries7573this is a sad reality. S. Africa has many elderly working. Mainly they are the breadwinners in lower income families. Besides struggling with their own physical heavy ailments, the time they get to reach retirement, anything they earn in split amongst youth who are unemployed.
@@small_fries7573how tough life in US bro?
That is just so sad , the society is failing them tremendously 😢
No matter how much u feast, u will still be hungry.
No matter how much u alcohol or soda u drink, u will still be thirsty.
No matter how much money 💰💸🪙 u have, u will still want more.
No matter how many men or women u slept with, u still want more.
No matter how blessed u are, u still want more blessings.
There's only 1 thing that can satisfy 😌 your soul. That means there's a way to go to heaven after you die & be saved from going to hell 🔥. You need to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior for your sins. No sinners can save himself. Do it before it is too late. Young people should also consider this also!
Same as USA 🇺🇸 failing their people. My neighbors Brian & Christine haven't worked for four years nor wanna be in society.
@@small_fries7573stopped being gossiper that's bad you share gospel but you gossip about your neighbor God doesn't want it...
@@lovemusicnatureartsfoods... I hope people who are in korea 🇰🇷 feels more motivated after I tell them this true story. I hope struggling Koreans will feel that their friend, usa, is not any better than them!
Yeah it’s not just there in Korea, same thing here in the USA. I’ve lived similar journey. Here in the Tristate area they call them SRO’s where you share living space but have a tiny room. It’s better than nothing but the rising cost of living and endless money printing is causing this issue. Nobody has enough money for anything therefore the money is essentially worthless.
I live in Canada, and this is very similar to our reality. Unaffordable homes, must work 2-3 jobs, isolated, no social life, contemplating s*ide*, etc. This is not living.
As long as nobody thinks of rebellion nothing will change it will only get worse
I live in Australia and a lot of my team at work are Koreans and most of them don't want to move back, I can see why.
Isn’t this just a modernized version of the Joseon society in which people were literally life-bound into whatever socioeconomic caste their ancestors inhabited? I feel so sorry for the majority of these people who did all that society claimed would give them a better life only to find themselves being slowly locked into semi-permanent lower level servitude. But I hope they come to realize it doesn’t have to be this way. I hope they can begin experimenting with group/collective efforts to break the economic chains being placed on them. At some point more young people need to refuse to participate in this “Hell Joseon” society that only benefits a select rich upperclass.
Appreciate your feedback and fire 🔥 opinion. Das lit
Well said, it’s a kind of techno-feudalism that is engulfing society
Is like that everywhere in the west fedlusilim never changed

I've had to start over from scratch from a kid, moving from place to place, meeting new people. Now I live in a homestead taking care of animals, farming, almost in a reservation. It is difficult and quite challenging at times, but once the dust settles it is all worth. My way can get some getting used to but it has kept me more relaxed and less anxious than most of my experiences.
Better to be poor in poor country than being poor in high cost of living country
This is why many of the top achievers from South Korea, Taiwan, China,…..immigrates to the west after having children so that their children would have a better life even though they achieved a lot in their own birth country.
I'd take Koreans over Jews any day
i kind of relate, i work at a company for 9 hours a day and yet still have to take my work home every night and every weekend, which means i can work up to 12 everyday, that doesn’t include commuting. yet i still can’t afford to buy house and car :/
your a modern slave
Minji, the woman of my dreams. Her goals in life are amazing.
You’ll get there very soon Jaram’s, We trust you. And Introduce us your start up when you are at that point🥰🥺
As a Korean, I know how life is like in Korea, not just school life via work life, even family life etc. 😥
Probably the same in Japan & China. I would avoid Sk, China, & Jap. Only be there as tourist to enjoy the scenery and food. No more!
Life is unpredictable and issues usually come up. Anyone from any age is not guaranteed tomorrow. Even young people should think 🤔 about heaven ✨️ or hell 🔥.
Therefore if you want to spend eternity on heaven after your life here on earth 🌎, you should believe in your heart ❤️ that Jesus Christ is your Savior. If you don't, you will miss going to heaven and end up in the lake of fire. It is terrible so I beg you to make the only correct decision for God to allow you to go to heaven. Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life. 🙏 Have a nice day.
God loves ❤️ you. He doesn't care about those expectations from Korean society. He does care, but it doesn't mean u won't suffer in life.
Hope you will find some peace
Is family life in Korea hard too? In what way?
Boomers be like: "When are we going to finally have grandchildren" lmao
How funny is that, you’re a practical joker, dummy 😂
they won't have grandchildren and never will
This is their grandchildren🖕
Owning a home in many cities around the world is impossible! The cost of living is way too high
The lady who spoke about wanting financial freedom by 45 is 32, just a year younger than me. Working 18 hours a day is extremely unhealthy, seeing how many countries grind away all of a persons youth like that is crazy.
This is not just a Korean problem, I feel like it's a very common problem almost everywhere
Not in Europe
@@LolyBest Even in Europe.....just not this extreme yet but even here.
Even here in America
@@bornrich9264yass
not in Africa. not in eastern Europe. not in orthodox eurasia. not in south America. not in the arab world. not in large swaths of india.
so, no. not everywhere nor almost everywhere.
Korea is somewhat similar to my country, Philippines. People do mind social status and your wealth. They don’t care if you struggle. What they cared about is money, money, money. I used to live in the Philippines, left the country for 5 years and now companies won’t hire me because of my age and thinking that I will be back to Portugal anyway. Such discrimination and selective process these companies have in the Philippines. Meanwhile in Portugal, I worked as a receptionist and an all - around staff working alone in the hotel, basically managing by my own, worked in company where they promoted me as manager but eventually quit due to mental breakdown. I have saved some money but I would rather choose my health than a job that will drain your body and soul. I am in the Philippines for some months winding down and getting an increase of anxiety since I am going back to Portugal once more. Where i can get job easily compared to my homeland. How I wish that the world don’t make it too harsh for our generations, but that’s a wishful thinking that might not come true.
I'm surprised 😮. Filipino aren't as superficial from what I noticed.
It is alright to be concern or not know about what happens after this life. Fortunately there's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, and not to get tired anymore.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body to the core! Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
God doesn't judge you on worldly success. He loves ❤️ you and values your character only. If u end up being poor, He still doesn't abandon you.
@@small_fries7573Most Filipinos are materialistic.From a Filipino here,sick and tired
These people are all fighting hard to survive. I relate. Keep going. Please take care of yourself as well. Not sleeping is dangerous.
I think this is the downside of modern society. Inflation, payrent etc keep increasing. I think our and future generation have harder life than our parent's. Many of us pessimist about the future
The fact this could have been my husbands life just puts everything into perspective….. this is so concerning… I have friends in S. Korea and they often remind me how blessed I am to live in the US where some of these things are not stressed as much as it is there (social and cultural pressures of status wealth and beauty ) . I pray it gets better. This is truly heartbreaking and heart wrenching🙏🏾 ❤️🩹
USA is the best country in the world!
God bless America
blessed to live in the US....... lol
What? Wealth and the endless rat race are definetly culturally engrained in the US and your whole value is placed on how much money you make.
In the US people work in everange more than Japan!
That is why I opted to live a simpler life. Nowadays, it's truly hard to achieve that financial freedom anymore.
True. Good thinking 🤔. If only more peeps think like that in Asia or America. I work part-time for the last 2 years. I've known mid age people who just gave up on jobs, society, social life like my neighbor Brian. 🙃 He just stays home to do his diy project which is like wasting time when he could use his skills to help his family by going part time work outside da house and buying food/groceries for them.
@@small_fries7573 Your neighbor Brian has basically retired. If people focused on their DIY projects and stopped working then they would be out in the streets because bills are expensive.
@@zerohero5753 at 50. No. He's given up on himself.
Jaram looks so tired her eyes and her soul seems so exhausted 😢😢😢😢 i feel so bad she is a real warrior but it must me horribly hard
I have zero remorse. I’ve lived here for 7 years and they do it to themselves. Their society is unwilling to change because at the end of the day, their social status is all that matters. Individuals hate it, but collectively they cannot let go. No one is willing to do anything different
Who asked for your sympathy?
I see. Such an horrible 😫 community!
