I find it quite insightful when a foreigner (I know I'm being quite a racist 🙄) shares their perspective on the long-standing social issues in Korea. I must admit that I personally find it challenging to publicly comment on this topic as I am aware of many parents and students who are willing to make significant sacrifices for job security. Becoming a civil servant is often perceived as an easy way to achieve this goal. In fact, there are numerous hagwons in Noryangjin that are solely dedicated to preparing students for this career path, which I believe is quite shameful, given the historical significance of the name Noryang. Nevertheless, I am not entirely certain about the exact connection between the two words. {The Battle of Noryang (1598) was the final naval battle of the Imjin War (Japanese invasions of Korea, 1592–1598). Korean Admiral Yi Sun-sin, alongside Ming Chinese forces, decisively defeated the retreating Japanese navy, but he was fatally shot in battle.}
