There are so many Koreans in my country, a crazy amount. The thing is, SK doesn't seem like that bad a country (current politics aside) and better than Canada in many respects.
Why would so many of them choose to leave...?
They can't write Scott Pilgrim in Korea.

I reckon it's paranoia from NK coming to invade them. Maybe they want to have their kids learn english so they can work internationally?

But you can still be conscripted overseas. Know two guys it happened to, they had to skip a year of school for it. I guess they'd maybe move for their kids though.

True, maybe?

But Korean pussy is best pussy. Plus, less fat chicks.

this is probably bait, but I will bite. South Korea and other advanced Asian countries are a great place to visit as a tourist, but its a terrible place to live as a resident.
They are a hyper competitive society where students have to study 12+ hours for exams so they can get into a good school. After you graduate, shit doesn't end. You have to work overtime in many companies, even if it is not needed. Everyone is afraid of losing their job so they don't leave until the boss decide to leave. This means pretending to work for 3-4 hours.
Then you get to go home right... wait, actually you don't because your boss wants to go drinking after work, and you are pressured to go. So now its 2 in the morning and you have work the next day. Might be fun every once in a while, but it happens frequently.
I don't think I've ever seen a Korean person irl.
Only Asians I ever see are flips or chinks.
To avoid military service
I see like literally over 100 Koreans and Chinese every day and I don't even live in Toronto
But I never see any Japanese on the streets
Why does Japan hate Canada?

the japanese have 0 reason to leave japan
>>72103449
not really the reason most koreans immigrated
>>72104456
most I've talked to came to Canada because of stressful overcompetitive work culture
>>72104351
Japan looks apparently comfier for most people
>>72104351
Japanese have lost ambitions, desire or curiousity. We are hikikomori-ing.
>>72104485
the oppressive work culture (and conscription) is more of a reason why koreans overseas can't go back
japan also has a oppressive work culture just like korea
almost all koreans immigrated with their families just seeking a better life in general (i suppose work culture also counts as "better life" too)
>>72104658
it looks like its pretty much stopped though

Yeah a good bulk of the immigrations happened in the 80s/90s afaik

Why does Korean youth rise to combat unfair labor exploitation?
It is obviously legally problematic that the salary level of other civil servants is good, but only the military set extremely low salary levels.
There is nothing different from prison labor in that.
