Mark Manson, an American bestselling author and famous YouTuber, has made headlines by posting a video that he “traveled to the world’s most depressing country” after visiting Korea. Manson, a best-selling author who has written famous self-development books such as “The Art of Turning Off Nervousness,” is a YouTube creator with 1.44 million subscribers.

Manson recently released a 24-minute video on his YouTube channel under the theme of “Traveling to the World’s Depressing Country.” During his visit to Korea, Manson met with Americans, psychologists, and psychiatrists living in Korea to look into depression in Korean society.

    The video title is “Depressed” not “Depressing.”

    He based that on the suicide rate. It’s hard to have a metric for happiness/depression, but that’s a credible one.

    The article took liberties with the message.

    He spoke directly with many people across South Korea. Interview style and not coming at it with a load of certanties.

    By the second sentence he said, “South Korea.”

    I don’t know why so many people here have to imagine a slight and then react against it.
