I've heard many things about the unique Korean culture and hierarchy, like when they always ask your age when they first meet you.
Or many years ago, when even the senior female managers had to serve tea to the male in the office. Don't know if the working culture is still like that nowadays.

This is very interesting essay on Korea. I watch Korean dramas and I am interested in the culture. It’s sad to read these bad things, but the reality is money and wealth equal power all over the world. The great equalizer is money.
Money is a great equalizer, the problem is money, access to money, and even the potential to earn money are not equally distributed. Throw in investment opportunities and the inequality gets even worse.

Understanding the culture of others is important, especially considering the platform is monetized.
