Gangnam Stress: Society

SYNOPSIS

South Koreans are known as some of the hardest-working and thus stressed-out citizens in the world. A fiercely-competitive society and long work hours inevitably result in high incidences of stress and suicide, as well as cases of death by overwork. Stressed locals find relief in some peculiar ways. Some take part in their own funerals to appreciate life; others spend a few days meditating in a temple or take a break in solitary confinement in mock gaols.
