Young Koreans are choosing exile en masse to escape the unbearable pressure inflicted by their country. Ultra-selective education, permanent professional competition, cult of wealth, of appearance, South Korea never seems to run out of ideas to tighten social control of its population even more. Trends that are often extreme but accepted as the price of the Korean miracle. The discipline of the people, their integration of common rules, are still perceived as the key to economic development that was faster in Seoul in the twentieth century than anywhere else in the world. South Korea has achieved its goal: to become rich, powerful, the projection it dreamed of itself. Korean youth have known neither the dark years nor the double-digit growth that followed until the dawn of the 2000s, and no longer want to put up with these rules, experienced as dictatorial and inhuman. Nine out of ten young Koreans want to leave the country to join Europe, America or Australia. Doctors become farm workers, engineers learn welding... This phenomenon creates its economic bubble: emigration agencies, schools to learn manual trades, language courses. This frantic race could well unbalance the demographics of all of Korea. ????
