maybe the government has a plan and are building all the apartments for the next 2 generations of koreans to live in now because they realize that when 100% of koreans have a university degree with 3.5 GPA's or better none of them will want to have a job that doesn't require wearing a suit or being on tv.LOL

They've all been raised on television to believe that one day they'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars. But they wont. And they're slowly learning that fact...

Ever see all the reality shows in America doing the same thing? No one wants to study or learn a skill or trade. They all sit on their fat a$$ hoping fame will find them. I mean really, what has any of the Khardasians ever given to the world that's meaningful or betters mankind in any way? I hate reality TV! Even the educational channels are getting in on this craze. When did history stop teaching history? I mean how many storage wars and antique buying shows can people possibly watch? Guess its the stupification of society or the world.

US culture seems to be near rock-bottom levels. I'm happy to be pretty out of touch with it at this point.

I'm afraid it's not to its credit that Korea's copied the US as closely as possible.
