Chongsinbyong was the word for mental illness used before the Korean war 

It implied “brain disease, mental derangement, and a propensity [tendency] for violence.” 

Koreans often thought of electric shocks when they heard this word. 

During the war, soldiers were diagnosed with “eunuchiodism”, which originally meant that there was a low amount of male hormones, but the South Korean army changed it to a “diagnosis of emotional immaturity” and kicked these soldiers out

“In 2017 in South Korea, nearly 1 in 4 individuals suffered from a mental disorder, though only 1 in 10 received treatment, culminating in the country having the highest suicide rate of any OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) member nation.”

Around 40 South Koreans commit suicide every single day

Discussing mental health in South Korea is considered taboo, which limits the amount of healthcare that is available there
