BTS is to blame.  Unrealistic expectations for Korean men.

If I was single and 20 years younger, I might decide to visit Japan and South Korea…

9 am. President is put on trial for attempted coup

Sunrise next day. President is executed on the steps of the capital building

 

Take note, Ameri.... hahahahahahah I couldn't finish typing that with a straight face

Nah,  they don't wait until the next day. Soviets/Mao taught you do it right there and then.

It's funny because, if anything, Brisket is underselling it (at least as far as South Korea goes). Global trends aside, that country is deeply fucked up beyond all recognition. Most of the men behave like the worst American incels, there is an all out gender war going on over there that makes our petty squabbles over minor things like *pfft* abortion and shit look minor by comparison. They made the "too small" (finger-pinch) hand gesture a literal hate crime because men in South Korea got so upset about it. If you're interested, go look it up, it's actually fucking wild.

They live in what is probably the most hyper-capitalist country on the planet with a modern progressive veneer that barely conceals an incredibly oppressive caste system that would make any Japanese person blush. They're literally teetering on the brink of all out civil conflict at all times, with the constant threat of invasion from the North, and everyone tries to pretend things are perfectly fine most of the time. When that powder keg explodes it's going to be epic, and not in a good way. The Ben-Hur remake kind of way.

I was aware that this was a problem in Korea, but hadn't read much about it. I'm sure our resident incels are taking notes from their eastern counterparts. Or maybe we can just trade some of our men for their women? Everyone wins!

Yep.  It's fucking huge.  And of course, instead of the response to lower birth rates and lower romantic success by men being "huh...maybe we should endeavor to make ourselves more enticing candidates for romance, and maybe we should provide better mechanisms of support for women having children," they go with the functional equivalent of "squash them, deny them agency, and order them to fuck us/make sure they have no meaningful alternative BUT to seek out a man so she can have a decent place in this world."

Men have a real problem.  Most of that problem is.....men.  S. Korea is the most glaring and disturbing example, but it's far from an outlier.

Lol.  I was not questioning your kimchi method, good sir.  Though, due to the timing of posts, it would appear that way.

I was questioning why the President of SK would go to the trouble of declaring martial law before backing down so soon thereafter.  Was it a test to see where the military stands?

Dude had probably been pounding Soju for hours and had a Michael Scott moment...but declared Martial Law rather than Bankruptcy.

Totally possible.  

I too have had similar experiences with soju, but mostly in karaoke lounges.  Where I didn't declare bankruptcy, but my love for all humanity and at least one girl in particular.  Though she may've looked like twins at the time.
