Well, considering multiple kids have died from bullying in Korea and people really do put those with wealth on a ridiculous pedestal over there and parents will do anything but believe that their kid is “a bad one” etc. There’s enough material to write a ton of manhwas about it.
My best friend and her mother are both teachers in SK. Her mother had to take sick leave for two weeks since she was so ill from stress to the point of not sleeping and having anxiety after the parents of a student had harassed her for months, threatening to sue her, make her lose her job, ruin her reputation in the field, just because she had told them at a parent-teacher meeting that their son was one strike away from being expelled.
People are mad crazy over there.
Agreed.
There's a lot of cases like that in america though, that's the point. How many kids have gotten mutilated, killed, tortured, stalked and bullied without having any influential parents that bought their way out of punishment. Teachers in america are having to be taught how to protect students from a potential gun attack. Theres many more diversities and minorities in the states as we have more "freedom" to express ourselves as well as expressing disagreements. Have you seen how many black kids, lgbtq+ kids, trans kids, any kid, disabled kids that have literally been tortured? And the bullies dont even have to be wealthy, barely even privileged. People are crazy everywhere, korea isn't a special place where bullying is "crazy" theyre just as fucked as everywhere else.
If you need an example of bullying, a sound cloud rapper that i knew, friends and family knew, got exposed for SA a girl with down syndrome and had his friends take a video of it because it was "funny". He didn't get charged with anything because the video wasn't clear.
Another guy from my school SA a girl and got exposed but because she didn't have evidence, he wasn't charged. Him and his friends made fun of her on social media and she unalived herself.
it's not "mad crazy" just in korea, thats just the world we live in dude.
I kinda find it funny how much different people try to portray bullying in asia compared to the us. The US is on the same level, if not worse. Bully like this is prevalent everywhere around the world. Korea/asia in general isn't some top notch special place where kids especially get bullied like how others seem to make it out to be lololol, it was so cringe reading some people's comments on "how bad korean bullies" are and then also cringe commenting how unrealistic the bullying is.
