why does everything about South Korea feel soulless

Just like the Imperial Core is outsourcing industrial and agricultural labor to the periphery, the US is trying to outsource its hyperproductive cultural industry to its vassal economic laboratories

probably because you don't understand the culture and/or are only looking at specific examples.

if you want to understand korea, you need to understand pain. the national story is one of constant pain and humiliation, and finding the strength to preserve through it. listen to Arirang for starters. that's the unofficial national anthem, and it's about a girl getting fucked over by a dude trying to get a better job, because mfs were starving to death back in the day

south korea is still a piracy paradise btw
