Comment on How are North Koreans who escape to the South integrate, like what do they do for work, home, etc?

  I’ve been there, and wouldn’t want to live there. They work hard, insane hours and have one of the highest suicide rates on the planet.

  But it still beats starving to death in North Korea and watching your kids die from malnutrition, zero internet access, etc.

  you ever been to korea? i’m (south) korean and live here, there are certainly many negative aspects of this country like any other but i wouldn’t say it’s a “terrifying/scary hypercapitalist place”.
