The reason Koreans are so overly conscious of others' opinions is a lack of decision-making ability

‌
Since they cannot make judgments on their own,
the opinions of others become important.
Therefore, what others think and how they perceive them takes priority.
They should be able to decide for themselves whether something is right or wrong,
but they cannot do that.
So, they want others to make the judgment for them.
The funniest thing about Koreans is that
if all the people they currently have to be conscious of were to disappear,
and they could live without worrying about anyone's opinion,
they would simply find new people to be conscious of.
And then they would live their lives walking on eggshells around those people.
Koreans are a people who must spend their entire lives being conscious of others,
and they themselves desire to live that way.
