Has the amount of 3D workers from Bangladesh, Nepal and other poor countries to do the dirty, difficult and dangerous work that Koreans don't want to do gone up or decreased?

Some of the more prominent characters in the film are Perry from Kenya, Achigereul from Mongolia, In-hak Kang from China, and Jaya from Sri Lanka. The documentary shows how dangerous many migrants' jobs are. Perry was kicked in the legs by a horse during his job at a horse farm; Achigereul, a former boxer, had both of his arms severed by a press machine in a factory and reattached through nine surgeries; In-hak was hit in the arm by a big stone while helping to demolish a building; and Jaya's fingers were caught in a machine. All of them, except for In-hak, were unable to regain their former strength, dashing their hopes of holding a full-time job. Perry and Achigereul both became illegal migrants and regulars at the migrant shelter. Their tenuous situations do not bode well for their futures or the futures of many other thousands of migrants who have similar experiences and few options to choose from.

Nothing new there.

The numbers have been pretty steady at about 250,000 migrant "DDD" workers in Korea.

If you really want the inside story, pop over to the migrant workers society and volunteer some time. It will be an eye opener.
