About this listen

a stark contrast to South Korea's globally recognized image of K-pop and economic success. The text uncovers hidden realities including persistent poverty, especially affecting the elderly and leading to desperate situations. It highlights demographic challenges like a rapidly aging population and low birth rate, alongside issues of machismo and domestic violence impacting women. Furthermore, the transcript exposes significant inequality through the existence of slums and inadequate support systems, contributing to high suicide rates, particularly among the elderly. These revelations paint a darker picture behind the country's modern facade.
