Could it be the stress of hyper competition to get the best grades in school in order to enter the best universities?
Could it be the korean social pressure that is always reiterating and reinforcing that those older and/or above you should never be questioned?
Could it be that salaries just aren’t enough anymore to pay for their own needs, plus their parents’ (since most retirement pensions don’t even cover the basic cost of living), as is expected from korean society?
Nah, it’s the wimmin dominating society and making this gesture 🤏
