Gen Z are drinking less and having less sex than previous generations.South Korea social culture with drinking…
South Korean Gen Z is rapidly reducing alcohol consumption, with 56% of those aged 19–29 abstaining or drinking less than once a month in 2024, marking the highest proportion since records began. This shift is driven by a rejection of mandatory workplace drinking traditions like hoesik and a rise in "healthy pleasure" and "sober curious" movements that prioritize well-being and sleep over social obligations.
In contrast, U.S. Gen Z drinking rates have declined significantly but remain substantial, with 50% of young adults reporting they drink alcohol at all—a drop of over 20 percentage points from long-term averages. However, unlike the Korean trend where drinking is becoming optional, American young adults still show higher baseline consumption, with some data suggesting they do not shun alcohol more than older generations when economic factors are considered. ---- The Korean parents of Generation MZ, who had gone through the IMF crisis, also raised their children as sheltered kids with overprotection and excessive care. The problem is that if a second Korean War breaks out by any chance, South Korea’s Generation MZ, too, may not be strong enough to overcome PTSD.

Plausible She likely did this often with her assistant and her assistant was disappeared to propel trap by the CEO, reporter.
Her agency was not defending her, she felt at a lost confidence in herself. Everyone was abandoning her, she was offered a bad deal from her agency, scammed out of millions of her savings in a short period. Her universe was imploding in real time.
ML hid the fact he blames himself, his father died, his sister became wheelchair bound. He hasn't been able to let go of the tragedy and doesn't permit himself to enjoy life.
He went to her side because he's empathic, she can read his thoughts of his romantic interests and his desire to end it. The FL is conflicted, she's isolated, he's helped her and she's fallen for him.
