You're not married with kids? Gasp.
Hey Koreans, stop asking me ffs. :dash1:
Marriage or children are not for everyone. I know a couple my age that live a few blocks over, they've been together forever but they dont want kids...I respect that...if they both know they dont have what it takes to be a parent, then dont...they are very happy...they do have a dog tho.

I agree, but Korean culture is what it is. People my age that are single are seen as not being real adults.
I get what you are saying. This world looks at success and wealth in stupid ways...most of the people living in those ridiculous standards are not even truely happy.

I agree again. Marriage and kids is still seen as a duty in Korea.
I would hate to work in a Korean company. Ass kissing makes me sick.
I wish they would leave their cultural norms back where they came from. I find it very rude to inquire whether you are married with kids. It is none of their fucking business.

Ass kissing goes on in every company...yeah some are worse than others. Ive seen it at different places of employment and it makes me sick too. I cant understand how some employees will literally kiss ass in front of everyone everyday...they really do look like desperate whores...its so high school...I go to work, work and take my paycheque home....im not getting mixed up with those kind of people...altho there are a few who are laid back like me....they cool.

If you don't bow and lick ass in a Korean company, you are history.
Ive never kissed ass in my life. I dont understand how people can go that low. It must really suck to be in that position. The things some people will do for money. Gross.
Odd.
I thought you were Canadian.

It does suck which is why the old man brought us to Canada.

We East Asians are conformists..
Remaining single doesn't fit into our societal norms.

I would think that Hyundai for example would follow North American norms at a branch plant on this continent.

Probably, I don't know. I never applied for a job at a Korean owned company.

A few years ago I had a Korean friend and roommate who moved here to get away from the expectations of marriage, kids, education, work... having a couple of older sisters who met those expectations didn't help.
I've lost touch with her since. She really loved the freedom of just moving around from place to place.

I have known a few Korean students in Canada who came here in their thirties for precisely those reasons. Like I said, even for Koreans who were raised here those expectations are still there.
