Picture of the Day: Protest Against More Doctors
Professors and students at the medical school of Chungbuk National University in Cheongju, 112 kilometers southeast of Seoul, stage a protest on April 29, 2024, opposing the faculty’s plan to expand its medical student intake in line with the government’s medical reform initiative. (Yonhap)
In America we constantly talk about creating more doctors, engineers, scientists, mathematicians, programmers, etc. A bias for maximizing human potential.
Korea, for all its focus on maximizing economic success via study and hard work, ironically is constantly trying to limit high skilled labor with mercantile guild like regulations and customs. Somethings never change.
The government ought to “randomly” fire/expel all in the front and back rows… pour encourager les autres…

I wouldn’t bring the American value into this equation considering US society’s attitude towards entitlements, and its attitude towards drugs that is symptomatic of its now accepted values of laziness. You’re right, somethings never change.
