Yep. It ain't easy being a 3D worker in Korea. At least in Taiwan they protested enough to get the minister of Labour fired and some positive changes ensued.
Until they start punishing the greedy Chaebols for using illegal workers, the situation isn't going to get any better. Sad

If this were my culture, things like this would be shameful enough to make me try to change them IRL (instead of boasting about them by posting these types of things on a discussion board. eh, RR?).

And that goes for all you good-for-nuthin' journalists, too! Instead of informing others about societal problems, go fix 'em yourself! Stupid moron, tryin' to waste my time with other people's problems. Rolling Eyes

The Donga article: white people complaining that they don't get all the benefits they (think they) deserve back home.
The Korea Herald article: non-white migrant workers living in Korea go through hell.

The two articles are hardly worth comparing.
