Top 5 post-apocalyptic Korean shows on Netflix that you should check out this weekend
Korean shows are all the rage nowadays, often sitting atop Netflix's Top 10 Global chart.
The post-apocalyptic K-drama "Black Knight" topped the chart within 2 days of its release on May 12.
Here are 5 Korean dramas and films you should check out if you're a fan of post-apocalyptic shows.
The South Korean film and TV industry may be well-known for their rom-coms and intense dystopian dramas like "Squid Game," but they've also never ceased to impress with their post-apocalyptic shows.
Through a blend of effective storytelling, character building, and flawless CG, South Korea's dystopian sci-fis have been giving Hollywood a run for their money.
The industry has topped Netflix's Top 10 Global charts numerous times, showing no signs of stopping.
In 2022, the value of the country's exported movies exceeded $71.4 million, a close-to 30 million increase from the previous year, per Statista.
Here are five Korean films and dramas that you should check out this weekend if you're a fan of the post-apocalyptic dystopian genre.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a secret order to local authorities that would ban suicides after data showed numbers skyrocketing, according to government officials who spoke to Radio Free Asia.
The exact number of suicides in North Korea is difficult to ascertain as the regime rarely offers insight into the country's shortcomings. However, the South Korean National Intelligence Service estimated in May that suicides had increased by about 40% from the previous year, per WION.
Kim called suicide an "act of treason against socialism" in the directive and stated that local government officials would be held jointly accountable for failing to prevent people from killing themselves in their jurisdiction, according to Radio Free Asia.

The secret order was mentioned in a series of emergency meetings in North Korean provinces, an official from the northeastern province of North Hamgyong — who remained anonymous to protect their safety — told Radio Free Asia.
Data on the number of suicides was provided as well as examples of entire families killing themselves, the official told Radio Free Asia.
The official added that those who attended the meeting were "shocked by the disclosure of suicide notes that criticized the country and the social system," per Radio Free Asia.
Another official from the neighboring province of Ryanggang — who also withheld their identity to protect their safety — told Radio Free Asia that suicide was effecting the community more than starvation.
"Despite the suicide-prevention policy ratified by the General Secretary, the officials were not able to come up with an appropriate solution," the official told Radio Free Asia.
"Most of the suicides were caused by severe poverty and starvation, so no one can come up with a countermeasure right now," they added, according to the news service.
During the meeting, there were discussions involving graphic descriptions of suicide cases, which included further instances of entire families taking their lives.
According to 2019 data from the World Health Organization, there were 8.2 suicides for every 100,000 people in North Korea, placing the country 45th in the world ranking of suicide rates.
