Watched a video before of kids from Whales doing an exchange with Korean students, and they were miserable. Like you said, they were getting back home late from clubs and cram tutoring at like 10pm, and would then get up for school around 6am or so.
This is just an unfortunately common thing in Asian countries, getting into the best schools is treated like a life-or-death thing for many.
