This decipher report is misleading the point. The privacy invaded by Molka(Hidden Camera) has never anything to do with Tech advancement, which is simply matter of individual criminal behavior. CCTV is not Molka, and never used by any criminal individual, but used for public purpose. On top of this, according to 2020 survey report conducted by an English Tech media, Korea is not on the top list of global cities that install CCTV the most in terms of no. of CCTV installed per population. Seoul is placed at 53rd with 4.1 CCTV per 1000 people, Busan at 105th. London is at 3rd with 67.4 cctv/1000 people. It can be assumed Great Britain is armed with 15 times more surveilling system than Korea. Remember, Seoul is only at 53rd position out of whole global cities in CCTV installation. That said, It's funny English society criticizing Korea for privacy issues.

I'm not sure why you are creating a straw man . I think we all understand that cctv put up by govt institutions, offices ,malls,businesses etc for security is different from hidden cameras . Where in the video does she state that cctv = hidden camera .however, the rise in cctv has also given rise to hidden cams because it is similar technology. Is molka not a thing in korea or is she lying ?You are probably a korean male trying to downplay a crime that disproportionately affects women. Getting offended by the reporter instead of feeling bad for the victims of these crimes. shame

[@user-vz9dp1dc6k]

한국 사람들이 CCTV를 긍정적으로 보는 배경에는 성숙한 민주주의가 있기 때문이지요. 정부가 CCTV를 통제수단으로 사용할 경우 시민들은 그 정부를 탄핵할 수 있다는 자신감이 깔려있기에 그 기초 위에 CCTV의 부정적 요소보다 유익을 더욱 주목하는 듯 하네요.

Genuinely curious on how you thought this was skewed and biased. I'm actually very surprised that so many Koreans thought this was a malicious report. It covered both problems (illegal spycams) and cool unique things to Korea ( Unique methods of Contact tracing that no one else had done, Agriculture funds to help promote farming, Success of Samsung despite being a relatively young developed country, and youtuber academies). In fact most of the video was painted South Korea in a positive light. Maybe it's a language barrier thing?

[@blahdeedah]

​@@sasquatchanbearhunter Kinda surprised as well at how many Koreans (?) seem triggered by this segment. I don't think the reporter was being particularly negative and the overall impression portrayed was a positive one. The series covered many interesting aspects of Korean society too. If anything, it's the comments that are lowering my opinion..surely no society is 100% perfect? Covering the less savory parts of its culture doesn't mean that the reporter (or a general viewer) is unable to recognize the good things about Korea. I thought she was actually quite appreciative.

[@kainblack5041]

As a Korean, I would like to say this. There are circumstances and details inside South Korea that you must know about dealing with infectious diseases. Many foreign media do not cover this detail. When MERS infectious diseases were prevalent in South Korea in 2015, we did not track them using IT technology. For privacy, neither the infected person's visit nor the hospital he was hospitalized were disclosed. At that time, the Korean government initially failed to prevent the spread of infectious diseases and was criticized by many people. At that time, the Korean government refused to disclose most of the information for privacy reasons. However, as the infection spread, people did not trust the government and became increasingly suspicious. And a list of hospitals and shops where the infected person was hospitalized was spread by unknown rumors, and many hospitals and shops were damaged by rumors that were different from the facts. The demand of the people for information disclosure has increased. The South Korean Medical Association also publicly held a press conference, pressuring the government to disclose a list of hospitals where infected people were hospitalized. At that time, the South Korean government faced tremendous criticism, and the South Korean National Assembly passed a bill permitting the use of IT technology to cope with infectious diseases. If MERS had not caused great damage to South Korea, there would have been no related legislation, and there would have been no tracking of infected people using IT technology. Let's talk about the early days of the coronavirus crisis, before the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide except China reached 10,000. At that time, a one person who was infected with the coronavirus released his name and face, recommending that people who had contact with him be tested for the coronavirus if they were watching through the media.(I remember it as British.) At that time, there was a widespread perception in South Korea that the person's behavior was very courageous and excellent enough for others to want to follow. His behavior of prioritizing the health of others over his privacy impressed South Koreans. In the early days of the coronavirus crisis, there were several super spreaders in South Korea. At that time, movement tracking using IT technology was not performed. Only basic epidemiological investigations were conducted at the level of asking questions to the infected person himself. Everyone will remember. In the early days of the coronavirus, South Korea was the second most infected place right after China. The actions of several super spreaders caused social anger. They were sick and visited the hospital and were hospitalized. The doctor suspected of being infected with the coronavirus and recommended several times to be tested for it. However, they refused to be tested for the coronavirus, sneaked out of the hospital, attended weddings, ate at hotel restaurants, and attended large religious gatherings attended by thousands of people. Many people were angry because of these people who refused to test for the coronavirus and spread the coronavirus to more than hundreds of people. In particular, Protestant-based pseudo-religious believers, who had the largest number of infections in the early days, often refused to test for the coronavirus. According to their doctrine, it was believed that if they believed in the leader, they could live a long and healthy life. If you are found to be infected with the virus, it is against the doctrine. The MERS outbreak in 2015. A bill by the National Assembly that allowed the use of IT technology to prevent infectious diseases. Disclosure of infectious disease-related information required by the majority of people. Great behavior of a British person who is concerned about the health of others rather than his or her own private life and reveals his or her face and name to the media. Anger at people who refused to test for coronavirus and spread the virus to hundreds or thousands of people. All of these had a comprehensive impact, so it was possible to track infected people using IT technology in South Korea.

[@dimitriyun1860]

Of course, I welcome criticism as it is. However, while watching this documentary, I tilt my head to the connection of leaps of logic or events that do not fit at all. In particular, even though the reporter seems to be Korean, it is very regrettable that he has a very poor understanding of Korean society itself or does not even make efforts for it other than logical issues. A documentary that is quite superficial and low-quality to be considered a journal. This comment was made using a translator, so the sentence may be awkward or the meaning may not have been properly conveyed.

[@abcdedfg8340]

Yeah I got the same impression. Yes Korea is a world leader in tech (or at least has better marketing than the west), but the memories of the dictatorship before the mid 90s are still pretty fresh. I think they have struck the right balance between a high tech future and a democratic society that respect human rights. But demographic challenges and labour shortage in low paying service sector are huge reason for all the robots in that area, its just easier to buy a robot. Other than that, we have much the same apps as in the west, delivery, health, you name it. Culture is a big reason too, we already developed, so although we want to be productive, we also want to enjoy our lives, and if someone enjoys their job and it doesnt hurt the company, why replace them? Having said that there is a burnout issue in Canada and the US, because of bad vacation policies, people dont get the time off needed to recharge, and often end up not increasing in productivity, and dont have an incentive too either(they get insufficient time to destress/live their dreams, and financially insecure retirement?). Apparently its not an issue in the EU with 4 to 5 weeks of paid vacation right off the bat...which incetivizes employees to keep on top of their work, and gives them the chance to live their dreams out. On the other hand, we only get to be young and adventerous once, so what the harm in letting the young travel more (they wont day dream at work if they know they can do their whole bucket list and stay employed), and the ones who have settled down earlier( having got their impluses out) the time needed to see relatives and make family time? Happy employees, mean happy families, and healthier as well as more loyal/productive people in general. The economists claim labour productivity is stagnating due to lack of investment in human capital...its more due to lack of investment in employee well being.

[@firewatermoonsun]

@@ignashi7plays401 Still it's useful to calculate the total debt of the country. Regarding household debt in Korea, people outside of Korea don't know the debt structure. The main debt is for housing. In Korea there is a system called jeonse, when you put a lump sum deposit (afaik ~70% of house price)and pay no rent, usually for 2 years. For people it's better to use jeonse than pay 2-3k in usd monthly rent. For that jeonse people take loan.

I gonna take a guess and say this woman most likely never embraced her Korean heritage growing up in America. She can't speak her native language and even the few words she did say on this vid the pronunciation was shaky at best. Now that Korea is getting some international attention she is selling her heritage as a Korean to give the illusion that she has some insight into Korean society which she clearly doesn't. She's not offering any insight that a none Korean reporter visiting Korean for the first time couldn't. In fact she seems to be focusing more on the misgivings that foreigners seem to have about Korean society and instead of taking a more neutral approach this documentary appears to reinforce them. And yes Korea has it's problems and shortcomings but it's not unique to Korea like this documentary would have you think.

What the world does not realize is that the Koreans do not like low wages, they hate low-paying manual labor jobs. That is the reason why everyone is studying their asses off and the result is heavy competition in high-tech arenas in every industry. This is what caused Korea to develop so differently not because they are trying to create some kind of no contact society. Heavy competition for a higher-paying job created what seems like less contact high tech society it was not intended. Just happens to be part of an industry that only higher-paying jobs more difficult task led them to this side of nature because they cannot do anything else with it. It's what happens when people rather study than work low-paying manual labor-related jobs. They all want to sit in a comfortable environment for their living is what led to this society. It was never intended to be this way. This is just a natural phenomenon when people just wanna work indoor white-collar jobs.
