From reading, I’m to understand that South Korea is speed running off a cliff into oblivion within a few decades and it might already be too late to stop it. It’s really interesting for me to see news like this, and the one about little girls preparing for kpop and nothing about South Korea planning a full 180 degree social and cultural change to avoid its demise. At this point, if the north wants to win, all it has to do is sit quietly and wait. 4 decades from now it can just reclaim the empty space south of its border.
