My country, Korea, is collapsing.
2
Collapsing.
3
Collapsing.
4
Many foreign experts say, Korea will face demographic collapse within the next 50 years.
5
But almost no one understands why Koreans stop having children.
6
Now, as a Korean insider, I'm going to dig into the pants.
7
No more sugarcoating.
8
No more excuses.
9
I know, the topic of Korea's birth rate is more boring than a Kevin Hart movie.
10
A lot of YouTuber have covered this.
11
But here's the thing, most of them are outsiders looking in.
12
Just like only Asians can use the word Ching word, only Koreans can properly criticize Korea.
13
Through these three questions, I'm going to expose the dark, twisted truth of Korea that everyone's too scared to talk about.
14
First, how shitty is it to live as a working adult in Korea?
15
Second, what does raising a child here actually require?
16
And last, the children who are disappearing from this country.
17
What kind of life are they growing up in?
18
It's just not just a big reason.
19
I can't do everything I want to do.
20
Why do I want to do it?
21
I don't want to do everything I want to do.
22
You can do it.
23
Yes.
24
You don't think I'll work?
25
You're working?
26
To answer this, I decided to live it.
27
I visited the house of my friend who lives the core area of Seoul.
28
He is a devout Christian and a huge fan of Harry Styles.
29
Despite that, I like this friend very much.

31
A thousand dollars.
32
This is all the space.

Here's a house.
34
Here's a little food.

A table.
36
Here's a kitchen.

This is the kitchen.

$250.
39
But a hundred dollars.
40

41
So, you can get married money.
42
I love you.
43
Now, let's indirectly experience Korean office workers.
44
Koreans call the subway during rush hour hell train.
45
It's not a metaphor.
46
It's just a normal Tuesday.
47
Just as
48
all the world's problems began in Europe, all of Korea's problems were created by urban overcrowding.
49
In my opinion, this country needs to collapse.
50
I'll be honest with you, I was working in a very good working environment for this shoot.
51
I once jokingly reported my younger sister as a communist, so I know.
52
Korean companies definitely use the same lighting as interrogation rooms.
53
And some bosses treat their employees the way Hollywood treats Asians.
54
They don't give a shit.
55
By the end of the day, I had zero desire to go outside.
56
No energy to date anyone.
57
At that moment, even Sydney Sweeney wouldn't have been able to keep me awake.
58
Maybe Taylor Lautner, though.
59
Then how about living by using a car?
60
Today we're going to experience the daily commute from Seodei Moon where housing prices hit the Seoul average
61
all the way to the office-packed district of Gangnam.
62
Of course, if I had a BMW, I wouldn't be doing YouTube.
63
I was with my friend on their way to work.
64
Officially, this is a 90 road, maybe 100 if you're pushing your luck.
65
But during the commute, you can't even hit 10.
66
I think it's a certain time.
67
That's all.
68
OK.
69
OK.
70
Now, let's say we solve the money problem entirely.
71
Hypothetically, economic anxiety gone.
72
What then?
73
We have to pay attention to the energy and time, and money.
74
But we have to pay attention to the burden of our children.
75
We have to pay attention to the burden of our children.
76
We have to pay attention to our children.
77
Then, what were the older generations in Korea like back then, before the birth rate started to drop?
78
In 50 years, Korea went from one of the poorest countries on the planet to one of the richest.
79
GDP per capita increased 350 times.
80
The military regime's policies at the time certainly played a role.
81
The state pushed the narrative that national wealth was the only path to strength.
82
And the older generation grew up with the belief that their personal sacrifice was the foundation of the country's progress.
83
It fostered a spirit of working for family, neighbors and the nation, even at the cost of one's own self.
84
So we'll get to the end of the day.
85
So that's not a long time.
86
How many of us are we here to get out of the day?
87
We'll get out of the day.
88
We'll get out of the day.
89
So we can't eat the day, but we'll eat the day.
90
We'll eat the day after we go.
91
I'll do it.
92
But we'll do that.
93
We'll eat the day after we go.
94
So we'll get out of the day.
95
The environment is not complicated and complicated.
96
So, I was the main goal of the children to grow healthy.
97
The fuel was a specific combination.
98
Confucian collectivism mixed with raw capitalist hunger.
99
But somewhere in that transformation, something broke.
100
The sacrifice mentality didn't disappear when the poverty did.
101
The competition didn't stop when everyone had enough to eat.
102
And women are, if they're a big company, they feel the power of the company is bigger.
103
We've invited a Korean parenting expert to dive deeper into this issue. that much on me.
104
Yeah, it shows.
105
In Seoul, the cost of raising a child is heavily influenced by school districts.
106
Better neighborhoods demand higher tuition for elite education and much higher rent.
107
Naturally, parents want to provide the best possible environment for their children's education.
108
This is Daiichi Dong, the epicenter of Korea's academic fever.
109
Every season, parents line up since dawn just to secure a seat in a star teacher's class.
110
For context, this guy's annual salary is even higher than Travis Kelcey's.
111
The city built these booths for student health, but all I saw inside was students studying.
112
10am.
113
Can you ask me if you are happy? Are you happy?
114
I don't know.
115
I don't know.
116
I don't know.
117
I don't know.
118
Shut up.
119
It's not that Asian students are uniformly unhappy.
120
The idea that all Asian kids are either anxious and suppressed
121
or naturally gifted geniuses is nothing more than a lazy western stereotype.
122
I once lost my entire fortune in a poker game to a 3-year-old Chinese kid, but that boy was special special
123
and especially in Korea most competitive education districts do you know
124
how much parents are paying every month I said just fucking say it at least 900 done
125
I'm a little bit of a home in a home in
126
a home in a home in a city How many hours do you go to school?

5.6pm So, you go to school at school at 6.10pm 10.10pm So, do you do that for the week of 5 days?

129
The gender-aligned Do you think of any other thing?
130
I feel like living alone But, they were very bright and smart kids At that age, I gave Scrub Daddy as a birthday present to my mother.
131
Okay then, why are Koreans so obsessed with education to this extent?
132
In Korea, the university you attend determines which community you belong to, which company you join, and what your next 40 years will look like.
133
That's why both parents and kids feel like getting into a good university is the only way.
134
Some students in Gangnam even take ADHD medication to improve their focus.
135
Their parents get the prescriptions for them.
136
It is the same context as teenagers in the hood dealing drugs to become great musicians.
137
They compete for good universities, then for good jobs, thinking that at the end of the tunnel there is a good life.
138
That may be true to some extent, but a society where you compete from 13 to 20 only
139
to face even more competition is definitely not the right place to love.
140
I think the culture of men is a good thing.

145
Get the fk out!
146
Get out!
147
So, we end up with people who are masters of competition, but strangers to unconditional love.
148
Competition leads to comparison, and comparison makes our choices purely rational and calculating.
149
But, love is not a performance metric.
150
Marriage is not a result that can be optimized.
151
Having children is of course the same.
152
It is a choice made by emotion, not reason.
153
These generations inherited the prosperity, and apparently also the bill. But
154
what
155

156
Korean citizens miraculously band together and face the situation with razor sharp focus and blame each other until suicide.
157

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
