Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing from the ones away who already made it.
I’m really glad I wasn’t born into one of the hypercompetitive asian education systems, but on the other hand, I’m not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.

I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.

well, it’s just my cynical guess, I don’t leave in South Korea nor am I familiar with their culture ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Much more likely to be because their wages will be less artificially inflated once the number of doctors increases. Its the same in Canada. We limit the number of seats, rather than admitting all those who qualify to be doctors, and we have need for.
Gotta love bringing everything into the market…

Or… OR… grow up with parents who emigrated from one of those hyper competitive Asian places and be a little bit broken. 🙃

Because they’re scared that more doctors will mean more competition and lower wages. They don’t care that access to healthcare is currently difficult in Korea because in part of the lack of doctors.
