When living in Korea, I learned that it is not uncommon for Koreans to take their own lives. It felt like it happened much more than anywhere I had ever heard before. I wonder if these are the ties of Confucianism that are still connected to Korea's modern culture? That if one has lost respect, it is better to take one's life than live with shame.
Here are 3 recent stories I've read:
