    I wonder how many of them are from North Korea? Because, living under a dictatorship in NK must be really dehumanizing.

      A total of 39,453 people killed themselves from 2020 to 2022, according to data from the health ministry and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency submitted to Rep. Baek Jong-hean of the ruling People Power Party.

      Apparently the party is South Korean so I presume the stats are just for South Korea.

      This data is for South Korea only, which unfortunately itself has the highest suicide rate of the OECD countries.
