I am a Korean man planning to go to Australia on a Working Holiday visa.
The reason I’m going is to find a turning point in my life.
Due to the growing global popularity of K-pop and Korean content on OTT platforms, many people view Korea in a very positive light. However, the reality for many young Koreans is quite different. Life for people in their late 20s in Korea has become increasingly difficult due to intense social and professional competition. As a result, many young people lose their dreams and hope, and the opportunity to gain meaningful life experiences gets delayed.
Disappointed by the outcomes of relentless competition, some young people become reclusive or adopt a YOLO lifestyle, giving up on long-term goals. Among them, a few choose to take a chance abroad — through Working Holidays — to gain new experiences, meet people from different cultures, and ultimately find their own path in life.
After COVID-19, opportunities in Korea have become even scarcer, and many youths are now trying to rediscover or rebuild their lives overseas. While a Working Holiday in Australia may be just a short experience for some, for me, it represents a valuable opportunity — a possible turning point.
Would you be willing to help me gain life experience and make the most of this chance
