Yeah the mandatory service and shitty neighbors suck. Other stuff mentioned are simply not true.

No, the chaebol are absolutely a thing. That's how South Korea rebuilt after the wars. That's how we have Samsung and LG. Those families make up a majority of the country's GDP, and lobby substantially.

I'm Korean and I know what chaebols are ๐Ÿ˜‚. They get many perks like not going to jail after committing crimes, but they don't control all aspects of people's lives here. That is overexaggeration and simply not true.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
