Listen "The Lost Generation of South Korea (part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
In this first part of our deep dive into South Korea’s N-Po Generation, we explore why so many young Koreans are giving up on traditional life goals such as dating, marriage, home ownership, and even personal dreams. From skyrocketing housing costs to a hyper-competitive education and job market, the pressures facing Korean youth have led to a cultural shift unlike anything seen before. Discover how economic hardship, social expectations, and shifting values have shaped an entire generation’s outlook on life. Join us as we uncover the real story behind Korea’s “generation that gave up.”
