Interesting, and that's a shame. When I lived in Seoul as an American 10 years ago[1], I loved it. Everything there seemed nicer, more functional, and safer than in any city that I've ever experienced in America. It had an attractive mix of shiny new stuff and ancient stuff. There was natural beauty even just outside of the city, easily accessible by public transit. I'd like to see them open up to immigration because my wife and I would actually consider moving our family there permanently one day if it were an option.
[1] For just a year, and on the US government payroll, so obviously a very different experience from growing up there as a Korean.
- pempem 2y agoWhile this is probably all true -- none of it deals with culture, family, employment mobility, and social services. I think S. Korea has a long way to go to meet up with the modern day. It can be very frustrating to see women's rights move forward globally, however glacially, and feel like you don't have those things.
