    The video title is “Depressed” not “Depressing.”

    He based that on the suicide rate. It’s hard to have a metric for happiness/depression, but that’s a credible one.

    The article took liberties with the message.

    He spoke directly with many people across South Korea. Interview style and not coming at it with a load of certanties.

    By the second sentence he said, “South Korea.”

    I don’t know why so many people here have to imagine a slight and then react against it.
