Half of South Koreans have no religious affiliation and only about twenty percent of Koreans are of Christian faith. Young people are especially non religious. It’s certainly not getting worse. The old folk nut job Christian cults are just the loudest. Lived in Seoul for fifteen years and rarely come in contact with anyone pushing their religion other than in touristy areas.
Life is certainly tough on students, but their lives are getting better. There’s no longer corporal punishment, so no more slapping physically for the past ten years. A lot more laws protecting them from overwork. This is an opinion piece that leaves out a lot of important information, such was what region these bylaws were being cancelled in (small, conservative area). While that might suck for some kids, it’s not nearly as widespread as the article would have you believe. These Christian sects see the writing on the wall and are putting a lot of effort to try to spread their dying hate and they’re mostly failing at doing that.
Skins have been a status symbol in games for a while. If you’re rocking a default skin, you’re gonna get called a noob and broke bitch by your teenage and tweenage peers. It’s by design.
Leave it to the Scottish to give their toddlers Slushies then blame the Slushie when the baby reacts poorly. I guess the corner store was fresh out of Irn Bru.
I have lived in Korea on and off for fifteen years. Lots of Korea hate online for some reason, maybe because Korea isn’t on the best terms with China and are buddy buddy with the US. Anyway, Korea has its issues, but it’s actually a pretty good place to live.
In relation to the article, military service is mandatory in Korea unless you can give a good enough reason why you can’t serve. The guy in the article couldn’t give a good enough reason, like religious reasons or being vehemently anti war. The judge mentioned PUBG as a side note, but outlets need their rage clicks, so that’s the outlets’ focus.
For sure. There will also be a shit ton of other one-hundred-year old short films that were available, but you never watched that you also won’t give a shit about.
Donald Duck doesn’t wear pants and, being a duck, his penis is corkscrew-shaped to allow him to navigate duck vagina mazes. Therefore, Goku must be getting slapped up with a duck tumor.
Yeah, the measurement of “plates” is really vague. Plates come in all kinds of sizes. People usually eat kimchi as banchan, or a side dish. I have lived in Korea for a long time, and I have never heard of nor seen anyone eat that I would consider a plate full, let alone three plates in one day.
Aaron and his fellows were trafficked into a prison-like compound called KK Park. Here, thousands of people are forced into criminality — to scam people in the US, Europe and China. The UN estimates that more than 100,000 people are being forced to work in scam centers in Myanmar....
It’d be funny if it weren’t so tragic. Korea has the lowest fertility rate in the world and it has many reasons, 4th quater last year was 0.6 children per woman. Here is one of the reasons:...
Thanks for the update. Korea loves their point systems. I’m curious how a newborn even accumulates points.
A mil is quite a lot compared to what Korean parents pay after the government helps them out. Are you sure there aren’t any government programs you could take advantage of? My wife, who’s Korean, and I had to hit up the government office a couple of times to get enlisted in the programs we’re in. I know it’s a lot harder to navigate as you’re both foreigners, but it might be worth a shot to call around and see if you qualify for some kind of aide. Like you said, you’re paying the taxes.
