A week before her son died Park Mi-suk asked him to quit his job.
For more than a year, the 27-year-old had been working overnight shifts at a warehouse for the country's largest online retailer, Coupang. He steered pallet movers with stacks of plastic bins and cardboard boxes across the sprawling space.
In that time, Park says, her son lost 15kg and often complained of how tired he was.
But Jang Deok-jun refused to quit. He compared his job to being on a seesaw: if he stepped down, his co-workers would struggle to keep going.
The following week, Park found him unconscious and hunched over in the bath.
"We pulled him out and performed first aid. We rushed him to hospital, where they declared him dead."
Jang died of a heart attack. The state-run insurer that covers healthcare for workers, Comwel, blamed his death on overwork following an investigation.

do you make more than this guy?
"I can't do this for life because it eats away at my body," says Kim, a Coupang driver on a sub-contract, who did not want to share his real name. But he adds that his monthly salary of around 7m won ($4,600; £3,430) - nearly double the national average - makes it worth it.

there are many long extensive videos, let me look
one lolzy thing is that nyugg tries to engage these grandmas in conversation and it is painfully obvious that they’re speaking in fluid sentences but he is speaking haltingly in short fragments because he can’t really speak the local lingo lol

oof, i wonder if he does come back to the US (maybe to earn cash?) because you'd think he'd be fluent by now having lived there for so long as a 'citizen'
yeah all those posts claiming nyuug is not korean were made by...NYUUG HIMSELF! it was a false flag operation to make it SEEM LIKE cumskins had complete knowledge of nyuug's charade of being korean!

I don’t remember but the math one was near the bottom of the range and if you put them into conversion tables they indicated an IQ of something like 95

i think deep inside he knows he's stupid and that's part of the reason why he comes back to this board. he's trying to glean some insight and ideas from his intellectual betters
i get the feeling he tries to read and absorb ideas from other threads. he stops lurking when something (usually involving asian people) triggers his insecurities and then he starts spamming

After working a grueling 100-hour week, Kim was berated by supervisors for not only missing a small error, but also for failure to complete mandatory military service. Reduced to tears, he was pinned with ribbons of shame and humiliated in front of colleagues.
Kim threw himself in front of a subway train the next day, blood and body parts splattering several fellow commuters. His gruesome death was a reminder of the rigors of South Korean business culture, but few believe there will be any changes as a result.
