Episode 28: Extreme Decision (Culture)
Manage episode 396123451 series 3501169
This week Jun and Daniel discuss the very heavy topic of suicide. While Daniel has known for a while that Korean society has a problem with suicide, with the highest rest of suicides within the OECD nations, famous actor Lee Sun-kyun’s recent high-profile suicide has brought this issue to the forefront of everyday conversation. What are the factors that caused Lee Sun-kyun to end his own life? Do these causes resonate with Daniel as universal, or do they seem particular to Korea? How do every day Koreans think about suicide? Why do Koreans have such a high rate of suicide, compared to America and other developed nations? Do things seem to be getting better, or worse?
If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel reveals his Western bias on a variety of topics ranging from celebrities to wealth, and Jun shares his thoughts on Korea’s transition as a society to becoming more individualistic.
