  > No :) That would be a bit surprising. Any statistics to back this up? The TFA doesn't mention which gender it affects the most, but similar issues in Japan (taijin kyofusho / hikikomori) are more widespread among men. Also the quote from TFA > "Parents give everything to their children to ensure them opportunities, and they also expect a lot from their children," she says. "They believe their children must inherit the wealth and social status that they have achieved." Clearly applies to men first. In South Korea the culture is still very patriarchal and pressure on young men to deliver success/money/legacy is high while women traditionally are not seen in that role (and as a result are really discriminated in pay etc.)
