Social ills exist because we live in a real world where things are not perfect. South Korea is far from perfect but I can speak confidently when I say, things are better than ever in thousands of years of Korean history.

Not sure if your background is Korean or not, but Koreans don't need to look very far to see how amazing things have gotten in South Korea. People used to literally starve to death in South Korea in less than a couple of decades ago. There was a time, when North Korea was the wealthier part of Korea and North Korea was always doing terribly. I pray that Koreans never become amnesiac to his history and never give into temptations of UBI.
