Is she asking Koreans?

Giving Birth Abroad
A home shopping network offers "emigration packages" and gets sold out, while "emigration fairs" are standing room only. When private tutoring fees are a major burden on household finances, when you're going to be unemployed even as a university graduate, and when having a job still leaves you feeling insecure, then of course people aren't going to want to live in Korea. If people believe that today's a trial and tomorrow you'll only be more drained, then the "escape Korea syndrome" will be unstoppable.

Do You Need Therapy?
"Koreans tend to think the problem is caused by someone else, that it does not lie within the Self," Professor Chey Jean-yung said. Just about every Korean suffers from soul-deadening mental, physical or emotional tiredness. "But first of all we must do complete self-examination. Our history testifies that Korean people have lacked serious self-examination," Professor Rhee Dong-shick explained. Due to political hard times, dirty money and competition people feel that they are not being treated nicely.
