South Korean society is currently facing a serious population decline.
In 1980, there were 860,000 newborns, but by 2000, that number had dropped to 640,000.
In 2023, it has fallen further to just 230,000.
The statistics clearly show a sharp decline in the population since 2000.
Along with this decline, another major issue is the concentration of people in the metropolitan area.
The majority of Korea's population is now concentrated in the capital region, leaving only a small number of elderly people in rural areas.
As these elderly residents pass away, their homes are often abandoned.
By watching this video, you will get a vivid glimpse of the disappearing villages in rural Korea.

Why There Are Many Abandoned Homes in Rural Korea: 1. Urbanization of Population 2. Aging in Rural Korea This problem will not be solved because the population will continue to decline
