Summary of Naver Map employee suicide case: “This is not suicide, but murder” (Blind, KakaoTalk capture)

On May 28, 2021, Blind is currently in an uproar due to the suicide of a Naver employee. What on earth is happening?? Did the Naver employee really commit suicide?? Currently, things related to suicide on Naver are being posted and deleted, and so on.

In the capitalist world, we saw that the joke that the top 20%, excluding capitalists, die from overwork and the remaining 80% commit suicide because of them is a reality. While starting a business, I knew very well how vulnerable humans are. When I heard the news about the Golden Gate Bridge from the person who smiled and exchanged well-wishes and encouraged each other, I felt dizzy. There were times when I looked out at the ocean at Santa Monica Beach and imagined how long I could hold my breath.

In order to prevent something that could happen in an instant, there is an East/West/South/North frame that I and others explain to me. I am not a specialist nor am I a person who can give advice, but I think that when a person makes an extreme choice, it is when the East/West/South/North seem to be blocked from his/her situation or perspective, making it impossible for him/her to do anything.

As we all get older, there are probably four things we want to protect or prove. For example, let's assume there is the following situation that you want to protect:

• I really want to keep my family happy (Bronze)

• I want to create a successful career at work or starting a business.

• I want to maintain social honor as a good senior or mentor (male)

• I don't want to be in debt or suffer financially (North)

When these situations are so intertwined that it seems impossible to give up even a single thing, humans can reach the point where they feel helpless and think that all they have to do is give up on themselves. It's scary. If you look at it from a distance, all you have to do is take your foot off one of north, south, east or west, but once you're buried, that doesn't work.

So, I consciously ask myself this on a daily basis. If I feel like I have no choice because I am blocked in all directions, east, west, south, and north, what will I step away from to protect myself? I know very well that if I don't do this in advance, it can be very difficult when I don't have time.

I try to be careful in sharing thoughts that I used to share only with my close and dear people.
