I heard the news about the captain before I heard the news about the Vice Principal. My first impression of Korean culture based on this tragedy was based on the captain's behavior - and the behavior of other crew members. Their selfish behavior wasn't any different than the selfish behavior of anyone else in the world.I heard about this, and wondered why he would have done that. The link said he was rescued, so I'm still wondering.
Seems overly dramatic.
Simply means you do not understand the communal reciprocity and obligation in South Korean society.
Sad, but I am not surprised.
Wouldn't "communal reciprocity and obligation" dictate that the freaking captain commit suicide?
