I seriously doubt that this article is written by a 15 year old korean. first of all, Korean people's English suck. Even phd students flunk ESL classes in the usa and lots of them return after esl classes cuz they can't even get admitted to a regular program. and here comes a 15 year old kid, who being a minor went to some remote place in Nepal and did voluntary work, and suprisingly has a better English than any 15 year old from UK or USA. if it's a translation , then the translator did a very good job of putting their own ideas and compositions to come up with a conviniencing letter.


Again, Korean is not the most developed country in the world. go around a few blocks of your neighborhood and you will see how many proud koreans are in their liquor store or dry cleaner chasing dollars just like everyone.It's a nature of humans to try to make their current situation better and immigation is a part of it. what's one of the properties of mammals you learned on the fourth grade? yes , mammals move from place to place to survive or make it better. so are Nepalis just like everyone , so nothing bad on that.


North Korea is still starving. see some videos on youtube. they are koreans too, but they did not benefit from the west. if Koreans were such hard workers then why is north korea so under developed? they are same race, same people just divided into two , one gets special treatment from the powerul and other don't. Development has needs more than patrotiasm and there are lots of other factors.


citizenary comes with a feeling of belonging to a larger group, you get benefit from being a citizen and in return you contrubute and have some responsibility. in that sense, we Nepali get very less benefit from our citizenary and we contrubute less too. So our country is not poor or backward because we don't love our country like koreans , but there are lot of other factors.
