Next: S5 E18

In recent years a new term has been popularized among the youth of South Korea: "abandoned generation". New graduates face harsh odds competing for coveted positions at large firms, in a society where their social station is intrinsically linked to the size of their employer. Suicides among youth are especially high, and those who are not among the chosen few to attain elite positions are treated as failures. This episode follows the young men and women of South Korea who toe the line between success and failure.
