Different but not wrong
Korea is a backward country in human rights. Almost all “-isms” are rampant in this country, such as racism, sexism, and ageism, showing how severely it discriminates against socially weak and alienated people. The most glaring of them all is the blatant hatred of sexual minorities.

Unhappy Koreans
Korea is the role model of many developing countries. It has shifted from a beggar to a donor in a couple of generations and boasts a vibrant democracy.

Save our children
People often compare evil humans to beasts. That's not fair - for animals. Watch nature documentaries on TV, and one can see how devoted and self-sacrificing animals are to their offspring.

Reform of banks
There are five major commercial banks and hospitals in Korea. The two institutions have one thing in common - visitors must wait an hour or even two to receive services for a few minutes. At least, that was the case during the height of the pandemic.

ChatGPT-initiated AI war
Global tech giants are rushing to take the lead in artificial intelligence (AI), prompted by the sweeping frenzy of ChatGPT.
