Even though the majority of the Korean population is for increasing minimum wage and reducing the work week, I have yet to hear or read any favorable comments in the media.
And most people consider Korea to be a democracy. It is a democracy in that Korea elected President Moon, but with regards to media, it seems more like a dictatorship.
The media is getting really vehement and trying to make increasing minimum wage and reducing the work week an issue. Saying that it is ruining the economy. I respectfully am of the opinion the economy is in shambles (the big corporations are doing well, as everyone knows) because of the policies of former Presidents Kun-hye Park and Myung-bak Lee. The conservatives ran the country for almost a decade, before President Moon. President Moon has been in office one year and they blame everything on him and the liberals.
The conservative calls progressives and liberals communists. Being a commie is illegal in Korea! You can get put in jail for being a commie sympathizer. So calling someone a commie should not be taken lightly. It is criminal!
It seems they are against anything liberal. They seem to be really afraid of pot smoking liberals. Talk about reefer madness.
