irreversible moments, so too is today's Korean society.\u003cbr\u003e Many people worry about low birth rates and an aging population and talk about the need for social care, but at the same time, they seem unwilling to imagine the specific changes in life that will result from these changes.\u003cbr\u003e But we are already beginning to see the results.\u003cbr\u003e So now, shouldn't someone

started to complain.\u003cbr\u003e The story was about a second child at daycare who was sick and needed to go to a university hospital, but there was no suitable place to leave the first child.\u003cbr\u003e I completely agree.\u003cbr\u003e Oh Han-gi, \"Forest Experience\"\u003cbr\u003e --- p.94~95\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Because there is nothing I can do but

However, the young son did not provide his father with any prescribed medication after being discharged, and only provided him with ten therapeutic meals for a week, instead of the three he needed a day to provide nutrition.\u003cbr\u003e From May 1st onwards, for eight days, they stopped providing therapeutic food and water and did not enter the victim's room at all. Eventually, the young man's father died from pneumonia and other causes while suffering from severe malnutrition. \u003cbr\u003eBut that wasn't the entire story of the 'unfilial son' who starved his father to death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The young man had lived alone with his father for over ten years after his mother left home, and he had to bear the arduous burden of caring for her alone.\u003cbr\u003e In addition, it was revealed that he ran out of money to pay the 20 million won in surgery and hospital bills, and was behind on all his payments, including rent, gas, electricity, and phone bills. He even sent messages to people around him asking for 20,000 won to borrow because he had no money to buy rice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He tried to find a job somehow, and to save money, he even ate 'discarded' food from convenience stores that was nearing its expiration date, but the financial difficulties continued, and it is said that his father eventually called his son and said, \"I'm sorry. Live happily doing what you want from now on,\" and \"Don't come into the room until then.\" \u003cbr\u003eWhile my son spent his time crying in my room, my father eventually passed away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This incident has caused much concern in our society.\u003cbr\u003e But this is not the only extreme case.\u003cbr\u003e We have seen news of husbands and mothers taking extreme measures while caring for their wives with dementia, or their children with intellectual disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e Most children spend a lot of time with caregivers, such as nannies and daycare centers, rather than with their parents, and there are many problems that arise in various care facilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 『Gutnit』 No. 6 talks about the ‘care society.’\u003cbr\u003e The days when caregiving issues were a family affair are long gone.\u003cbr\u003e With the aging population, the elderly population, and the increase in single-person households, various types of care are already issues that society and the nation must address together, and one day, or soon, they may become my own problem. \u003cbr\u003e『Gutnit』 No. 6 presents three unique and problematic stories surrounding the issue of 'care,' which has already become a problem for every individual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Associate Professor An Jin-a, who teaches comparative culture and comparative literature at Okinawa International University and focuses on issues such as generational conflict, disease and death, and gender that appear in Korean and Japanese geriatric literature, points out various problems of care that emerge in a society that is changing at a rapid pace through her essay, “It’s Okay to Drive Slowly,” and suggests that we might be able to slow down our society a little, recalling the slow buses in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e The author asks us whether we can slow down a bit and talk about care and consideration for people, not just on an individual level but also on a social and national level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eKim Bon's novel \"The Snake Is Chasing\" makes us think about various issues of care through the diverse stories of three generations of the young narrator's family.\u003cbr\u003e From my father who passed away in an unexpected accident, to my mother who suddenly ended up living with her in-laws, to my grandmother who was suddenly diagnosed with dementia, to my uncle and aunt who still live with their parents, each of these stories represents the stories of many generations in our society.\u003cbr\u003e After a time when I was young, my story of meeting my grandmother and her husband who grew up with her enters another era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yoon Hae-seo's novel \"Transformation\" is a work that stands out for its unique poetic style and original writing style.\u003cbr\u003e As another voice interrupts the ordinary routine of 'him', a cemetery caretaker, readers are transported to another dimension, going back and forth between 'him's' present and the voice's time and space. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
