The Documentary

Available for over a year

In the past 50 years, South Korea's economy has gone from being one of the world's poorest to one of the most developed. With competition for jobs fierce, the pressure on students is high. Student Kim Ju-hee describes how she studies from 8:30 to midnight - and how she's giving up on marriage owing to the pressures and sacrifice associated with raising a family.
