Well he made it this time without a team so I don't see why that's unlikely

oo i just noticed drg said he would stream more

if he puts effort into producing a good stream, and gets a lot of viewers, coupled with his name recognition it'll help DRG get better offers.

How selfish of DRG that he wants to enjoy what he´s doing. Haven´t they taught him in kespa prison that it´s about honor and that honor means strictly no fun?

Guys I think what DRG is extremely interesting especially is you put it back in the South Korean context.

South Korea has always had the best high school students in like every domains : math physics and everything.

Nevertheless, this goes with an extremely high price as the standard school regimen of Korean kids is just nuts. They go to private school and lecture before AND after the normal public school. It means they start their day at 5 am and go to bed pas midnight.

As I was in seoul in 2004, i've witnessed large groups 12 years old with uniforms and school bags walking down the streets together at 11pm. Apparently this even has gone worse since then, I heard a Korean teacher talking about course finishing at 1 am or even 2 am.

More and more professors and scientist are trying to put this to an end but they don't weight much compared to the social pressure and parent's expectation that are always demanding more and more.

A spectacular side effect is that when go in university, Professors complainsthat Korean students show no taste and no curiosity for the subject they are supposed to study : the regimen killed all their enthusiasm and - to take DRG's words - passion. They're good at repeating what they're taught but they have no creativity which is a bit problem when it's time to get higher level degrees -enginering or PhD's- where enthusiasm and creativity are a must have.

So Korea has the best High school students but after high school, they're not in the top of the world anymore.

I think that this thing about being in KeSPA or not shows symptoms of larger issues Korea has with studying and working in general, on that matter this interview is extremely interesting.

(side note : another side effect of this regimen is that sadly, Korea has one of the worst suicide rate among teenagers and it keeps increasing)

That's pretty insane, it does explain how the likes of Polt can see a schedule that would be madness for many of us as no big deal though.

Would be interested to hear more, especially from the Koreans amongst us.

I remember my step mother would tell me stories about how her dad would beat her whenever she got less than perfect grades... a lot of my friends have stories like that.
