What's Your Complex?

As a bit of an extension of an earlier post, here is a shockingly interesting film that pretty much speaks for itself. The director is a 19-year-old American student who came to Korea to study in (and study about) the Korean high school education system after graduating back home. What she discovered was that the pressures of being a young, female student in Korea go far beyond the 16-hour daily study sessions...


As I mentioned above, I think the clip (with the full film hopefully coming out some time in 2012) pretty much speaks for itself. So in the interest of time (both yours and mine), I won't say much more. You can draw your own conclusions. All I'll say is that it's sad.


*By the way, a 'Sang-Ka-Pul' is a double fold in the eyelid. It's what makes Western eyes look bigger than their Asian counterparts. It IS natural for some Koreans and Asians, though not many.
