That could make so much work and so many industries just impossible... If that wasn't possible, i could never be a programmer and i could never build my business later. None of my world would exist. I have no idea what i'd even do.

Why couldn't you be a programmer? Does your code stop working if workers have better protection?

Presumably it takes away many more flexible opportunities if you can't freely freelance.

Surely we can be a bit imaginative and allow freelancers the ability to do this without forcing everyone to be labeled as such..

Of course! We need to make appropriate carve outs! Just like AB5 in California that banned outside consultants except for a laundry list of hundreds of occupations except ride sharing.

No, this implies you will have to register as freelancer/self-employed and pay socsec tax.

Makes me wonder, what overall tax burden is in Korea. Can they afford raising it to 65-80%?
