Suicide and the Pain of Those Left Behind
Korea is a suicide kingdom. One person dies of suicide every 48 minutes, and one person attempts suicide every 90 seconds. From young children to the elderly, 30 people kill themselves and 960 attempt suicide every day, according to the National Statistical Office.... Cho Yong-beom, who heads the Suicide Prevention Committee, points out that society's inability to accept the problem of suicide and prejudice towards suicides' families are prompting more people to kill themselves.
