South Korean President Yoon Seok yeol has warned that South Korea has entered a state of population emergency, and if it cannot be reversed, the country may face extinction. This statement has attracted high attention from international public opinion.

As a developed country with a population of tens of millions, South Korea's population crisis is becoming increasingly severe. In recent years, the number of newborns in South Korea has sharply decreased, with more deaths than births, resulting in negative population growth. The birth rate in South Korea has dropped to an extremely low level, far below that of the 1970s. Despite measures taken by the government to promote population growth, the population in big cities continues to decrease, and social and reproductive pressures continue to increase.

There are many reasons for South Korea's population crisis. On the one hand, policy inertia has resulted in people still being influenced by past family planning policies and unwilling to have more children. On the other hand, South Korean society is divided by chaebols, leaving young people with no room for upward mobility and severe internal competition, which leads to their unwillingness to have children. In addition, the high cost of raising children is also one of the important reasons for the decline in fertility rates.

South Korea has fallen into a vicious cycle and is almost unable to solve the problem of population decline. The problem of policy inertia requires time to solve, while the issue of chaebols controlling society is even more complex. Internal reforms can only alleviate crises, but cannot fundamentally solve problems. The high subsidy strategy cannot reverse the psychological impact of young people living in a negative society for many years. Politicians and tycoons also do not really care about population issues because they are not directly related to this problem.

In short, due to the fact that no one wants to have children, South Korea is facing a countdown to its demise. Although this process may not be too fast, Korean society will suffer greatly. South Korea needs to find new solutions to address the challenges posed by the population crisis. However, due to the complexity of the problem and deep-rooted social issues, it is extremely difficult for South Korea to solve the population crisis.
