South Korea: The only middle power of its kind

For Korea it's not about UBI but about terrible working conditions and societal pressure. Even with UBI you want your children to go to the best schools so they can get a job at one of the Chaebols.

Wouldn’t UBI serve as a counterweight to terrible working conditions and societal pressure?

Koreans still have a culture of face.It's hard to admit that you live on just UBI and cant hang around your friends in places where you cant really afford to be.
