On-screen text
Maybe in America
but not in Korea
Isolation bullying runs so deep,
the rich bully's parents can bring
financial ruin, stopping businesses
from working with your parents,
possibly never being able to recover
The risk is too high for some Koreans
so they endure physical bullying
instead of fighting
We need more empathy
for cultures we can't fully understand
