The control flow stops because statements after `await new Promise(() => {});` will never run.

GC is only relied upon to not create a memory leak, but you could argue it's the same for all other objects.

The reduced allowed amount of phthalates (DEHP, DBP) in Korea is identical to the allowed amount in EU and US. (0.1% by combined weight)
