Hello and welcome to the community.
I recently asked ChatGPT about suicide related stats per country, and it gave as key contributing factors the following:

And for country-specific insights:

Would you agree, or can you relate somewhat? Whatever your reason may be, I wish you all the best on this journey.
I agree with this.
Living in Korea is a structure where you have to compete from birth to death and earn money.
In fact, Korea's average income is high.
However, they are trapped in a structure that makes them feel a sense of relative deprivation through social media and the media.
It's like hell on Earth.
So Koreans call themselves 'Hell Joseon' (Joseon is the old name of Korea).
I'm thinking of traveling to Korea. You said that SN is easy to get, but my Korean friend told me that you need some kind of registration card to buy it as an individual. If I travel to Korea, will I be able to get it?
SN should have a registration certificate, but most companies are not checking it properly, so anyone can easily get SN.
Not only that, but other 'tickets' on this forum are also readily available.
40 people per day. That's 14,600 annually. Those numbers are tragic and astonishing.
Right? We only have 50 million people. That means 40 people a day, 1.6 people an hour. Soon, two people will die an hour, and that's through suicide.
Wow, and you think for all those people how many friends and families will be affected by the loss, every single year.
Plus the people that attempt and aren't successful!
Yes, there will be far more people who failed at the attempt than was observed. Korea is simply a country of suicide. I found out that many teenage girls have self-inflicted signs on their wrists. This is not unusual.
Many people want euthanasia to be legal, just like Switzerland. If euthanasia becomes legal in Korea, Korea's population will be halved.
Wonder if governments will actually do something to improve people's lives instead of just restricting methods.
The government is putting out a lot of policies, but they're terrible. They can't offer a fundamental solution and they're just telling people, 'Don't jump off the bridge.'
This is because jumping from a high bridge is a very common suicide method in Korea.
This reminds me of the suicide bridge in Korea.
The "Bridge of Life"
Pretty interesting read, perfectly encapsulate how us and the normals will never reach an understanding.
Long story short, suicide rate increased 6 fold the following year after the "help".
You know it very well. "Bridge of Life" does nothing.
Korea is the most suicidal country in the history of Homo sapiens and will continue to break that record.
I have frequently wondered this myself but have come to the conclusion that humanity has gone off the rails. Traits like empathy and kindness, virtues of an intelligent society, are now considered signs of weakness. From my view, this is especially true of capitalist countries.
For example, here in America and the Republican Party's decree of "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" expects us to fend for ourselves because no one is coming to help us. Meanwhile, they feed at the trough of private interest and insider trading deals while Americans are suffering more than ever.
Greed is the new God. People are being fed through a system from birth to death, purely for profit. It's tragic and disgusting to witness and worse to be forced to live through it.
We're a capitalist country, but we're not as capitalist as the United States or Europe, and yet this is happening.
That's because there's something at play that goes beyond capitalism.
Perhaps, I think it's because 'Confucianism' is playing a very big role in Korea.
The idea of 'Confucianism' forces people not to be different from others, but to be considerate of others' faces. Japan is also similar.
I saw a documentary on YouTube about how hard life is in South Korea. I believe it was this video:
It's insane. Truly tragic
I haven't seen this video, but the word 'hell' is a very representative letter that represents Korea.
