In my environmental science class we learned about overpopulation and the problem of that. However I want to first emphasize that Korea's population is about 50 million. It is very fair number of population. However, South Korea is dealing with serious over-population in Seoul. There is 10 million living in Seoul and much more stays in Seoul during the day because of their job.
In South Korea most of the thing running in Seoul and Korea that foreigners know is actually just Seoul. For example most of the big companies run in places like gangnam, myungdong, jongro, and etc... Recently I watched a video and an american embassy in Korea, Gregory Henderson said, "As Paris was for France, Seoul was not simply Korea's largest town; it was Korea."
The government is not blind and ignoring this problem. They have been trying to solve it for a long time and had made efforts such as making satellite towns around Seoul or force government employees to move to a specific city. However, it is not a easy problem to fix. But in fact, people are starting to distinguish people who are living countryside. I think that is the biggest problem. Since people are crowded in one small place, it seems there are a lot of problems than countryside. I think this problem should be fixed. By doing this I learned that how Seoul is being too overpopulating and the issue of them.
