Han Kang: Once vilified for 'daring' to air South Korea's 'dirty laundry', now a national treasure (youtube.com)
Nobel lit prize. For confrontation, rather than literature? Airing Korean dirty laundry overseas?
The commenter referred this to Korea's general popularity in film and series, music etc.
Korea has gone from a very poor to a rich country. Lots of soft power. From having lots of children to having few.
How distant have Koreans come from their nature-linked tradition? In one generation?
Koreans suspect artists as sort of trouble-makers?
Currently, strong men's rights movement in Korea. Lots of women novelists right now.
Is B Gates just totally disliked now? Bloomberg published a 22minute ‘In Conversation with Bill Gates’ a day ago and it has 830 views today. I haven't and won't watch it. But I've seen it pop up on my feed several times over the past day, so it's being suggested but no one is watching it. Although on another of Bloomberg's YouTube channels the same interview with a different title had 9.8k views. But lower than what you'd see for any other tech founder.
Zuckerburg I think might have been tending towards this dislikability before, but over the past 2 years he seems to be changing. He does sports, MMA, has made some actually social (not just fake social but really taking advantage of society) statements, and I think he's showing at least some steps towards being liked by people.
