RE: Jong-Hyun Kim and the Phenomena of Youth Suicide in Korea
I just watched the funeral service on youtube. I was really disturbed at the dozens of photographers snapping away.
Hey @hansikhouse can you do a post about the author Ma Gwang-su? Ive been kind of interested in him since I read about his death a couple months ago in the newspaper. Seems like he had a rather interesting, and very unfortunate, life.
The romanticized publicization of celebrity suicide is a big catalyst for following youth. They treat them like martyr deaths.
This is super interesting and thanks for the reference! I'll look into him and his work. Thanks for the comment @normalbro!
