By Diplomacy Journal Lee Jon-young The Republic of Korea is currently experiencing a major economic, political, and social crisis. Although each of us has been living our lives to the best of our abilities, the reason we are facing such a difficult situation is because we have lost our identity as "people." Who owns Korea? The people of Korea. But unfortunately, the true sense of “people” is disappearing in our society.
