My country, Korea, is collapsing.

Collapsing.

Many foreign experts say, Korea will face demographic collapse within the next 50 years.

But almost no one understands why Koreans stop having children.

Now, as a Korean insider, I'm going to dig into the pants.

No more sugarcoating.

No more excuses.

I know, the topic of Korea's birth rate is more boring than a Kevin Hart movie.

A lot of YouTuber have covered this.

But here's the thing, most of them are outsiders looking in.

Just like only Asians can use the word Ching word, only Koreans can properly criticize Korea.

Through these three questions, I'm going to expose the dark, twisted truth of Korea that everyone's too scared to talk about.

First, how shitty is it to live as a working adult in Korea?

Second, what does raising a child here actually require?

And last, the children who are disappearing from this country.

What kind of life are they growing up in?

It's just not just a big reason.

I can't do everything I want to do.

Why do I want to do it?

I don't want to do everything I want to do.

You can do it.

Yes.

You don't think I'll work?

You're working?

To answer this, I decided to live it.

I visited the house of my friend who lives the core area of Seoul.

He is a devout Christian and a huge fan of Harry Styles.

Despite that, I like this friend very much.

Here's a thousand dollars.

A thousand dollars.

This is all the space.

Here's a house.

Here's a little food.

A table.

Here's a kitchen.

This is the kitchen.

$250.

But a hundred dollars.

Actually, it's hard to get money.

So, you can get married money.

I love you.

Now, let's indirectly experience Korean office workers.

Koreans call the subway during rush hour hell train.

It's not a metaphor.

It's just a normal Tuesday.

Just as

all the world's problems began in Europe, all of Korea's problems were created by urban overcrowding.

In my opinion, this country needs to collapse.

I'll be honest with you, I was working in a very good working environment for this shoot.

I once jokingly reported my younger sister as a communist, so I know.

Korean companies definitely use the same lighting as interrogation rooms.

And some bosses treat their employees the way Hollywood treats Asians.

They don't give a shit.

By the end of the day, I had zero desire to go outside.

No energy to date anyone.

At that moment, even Sydney Sweeney wouldn't have been able to keep me awake.

Maybe Taylor Lautner, though.

Then how about living by using a car?

Today we're going to experience the daily commute from Seodei Moon where housing prices hit the Seoul average

all the way to the office-packed district of Gangnam.

Of course, if I had a BMW, I wouldn't be doing YouTube.

I was with my friend on their way to work.

Officially, this is a 90 road, maybe 100 if you're pushing your luck.

But during the commute, you can't even hit 10.

I think it's a certain time.

That's all.

OK.

Now, let's say we solve the money problem entirely.

Hypothetically, economic anxiety gone.

What then?

We have to pay attention to the energy and time, and money.

But we have to pay attention to the burden of our children.

We have to pay attention to the burden of our children.

We have to pay attention to our children.

Then, what were the older generations in Korea like back then, before the birth rate started to drop?

In 50 years, Korea went from one of the poorest countries on the planet to one of the richest.

GDP per capita increased 350 times.

The military regime's policies at the time certainly played a role.

The state pushed the narrative that national wealth was the only path to strength.

And the older generation grew up with the belief that their personal sacrifice was the foundation of the country's progress.

It fostered a spirit of working for family, neighbors and the nation, even at the cost of one's own self.

So we'll get to the end of the day.

So that's not a long time.

How many of us are we here to get out of the day?

We'll get out of the day.

So we can't eat the day, but we'll eat the day.

We'll eat the day after we go.

I'll do it.

But we'll do that.

We'll eat the day after we go.

So we'll get out of the day.

The environment is not complicated and complicated.

So, I was the main goal of the children to grow healthy.

The fuel was a specific combination.

Confucian collectivism mixed with raw capitalist hunger.

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?

127

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?

128

Yes As you can see, Korean children's daily routines were more grotesque than the Tiger music videos Will the child's life be solved?

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.

141

I think that if you want to grow a child, you have to have a lot of money.

142

If you want to marry, you have to have a lot of money.

143

The land is a small land, but we know each other very well.

144

No, no, don't talk with my- get out!

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

you must understand is that whenever Korea is in crisis,

156

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

157

Do you think you want to give a child a little bit?

158

Yes.

159

Do you want to give a child a little bit?

160

Yes.

161

I want to give a child a little bit.

162

I think it's right now, but later it will have a whole lot of success.

163

I think it's something that's going to happen.

164

I think it's a change of mind.

165

I'm happy with a child and I'm happy.

166

I don't know if we can experience it without a child.

167

I don't think the real story is that Koreans just don't want kids.

168

I think a lot of people do, but somewhere along the way, those things stopped feeling like a dream and started feeling like a burden.

169

I genuinely hope my country becomes a better place, a place where people can give love to one another without holding back.

170

I pose a question to the world watching this video.

171

Would you have children in here?

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
