Alarmingly enough, previous data had claimed that 12 out of 100,000 people committed suicide on average, counting all the OECD countries, yet Korea's average was noticeably higher than that with 29.1 out of 100,000 people committing suicide.
On top of that, South Korea's rate has continued to increase since 2000, whereas other countries have been decreasing since 1985. What is your own analysis of the problem in South Korea?
