Warum tun Menschen so, als wäre es ihnen egal, wenn jemand selbstmordgefährdet ist?

Contextually, the sign is saying that the residents of gimpo, incheon, and ilsan want a subway extension. I dont want to speak for him regarding mental health, but im pretty sure this person is just being extra not suicidal. Also koreans are nonconfrontational, we’ll just ignore
He expresses his willingness to die for the development of the Incheon Line 2 extension to Goyang in order for the citizens of Gimpo, Incheon, and Ilsan to be able to enjoy safe transport on the GTX-A train.
Wow, this is absolutely insane.
Well first of all they advocate for an extension of a metro line (which even if you don’t know Korean you probably can already tell from translation tools).
I’m guessing they put on a mask with noose to show how Gimpo Gold Line overcrowding causes people to have difficulty breathing, and they want this metro extension as a relief/alternate way to get to destination.
But I can’t believe someone actually thought that this performance would be good for them. I’d love to see police restrain this person even if we know they’re not truly suicidal — you just can’t joke like this in public.
Do you actually beleive they are suicidal? People(me included) think that this is just a protest and performative. People don’t believe they are going to actually commit suicide over ‚extension of subway line.‘
I highly doubt he’s suicidal, it’s just a desperate plea for a subway extension. I find people in Korea use expressions about death, dying, torture, 먹고살다 etc quite often when protesting or making political statements, to be frank. Anytime anything involves some vendors in any given neighborhood, there’s always some 현수막‘s saying stuff like “죽으라는 거야?!“ and the like
It’s a photo with an emotional narrative, so it might seem very strange to people like you who don’t know Korea well, but it’s close to the claims of real estate speculators who want trains to be breached in order for real estate to go up.
He’s just protesting to raise his house.
If you watch historical K-dramas, you would often see the advisors of the king saying „I beg you to kill me“ when they want to make a point about something. (And they’re not suicidal! What they’re really saying is, „kill me if you can, but that will just prove that I’m correct“)
Same situation here. „I am going to die“ is a political statement. The mask, the rope, everything here suggests that it’s a political statement.
FYI, GTX-A is a high-speed metro, and he demands the Incheon-2 line be extended so that people from Gimpo, Incheon, and Ilsan can access the GTX-A subway line.
So interesting. In LA people protest subway lines being extended. In South Korea, or at least Seoul and its suburbs, people want it.
Why do u act like you understand korean language?
No.
lol so extra
Yeah, that’s really going to draw in the crowd. If you want to be taken seriously, act like it.
It’s an equivalent of an idiom „over my dead body“
