Korean culture is very cutthroat. Not only are the university entrance exams extremely rigourous, there are only 6 universities in the country that you can go to if you want any hope of having a professional career. There's also no such thing as a sick day. If you try to take a day off you get fired. One of my best friends is Korean (a very lazy Korean, even by our standards), and he says becoming a Canadian was the best thing that could've happened for him.
