Should we mention the low birth rate in the intro?[edit]

The intro already has a lot of content about recent history and culture, most of which is highly laudatory. However, I think the low birth rate is a major issue and one of the most impactful recent developments for South Korea. It's the lowest rate in the world; per CNN it is expected to decline, the population is projected to fall to 1970s levels, and the median age is projected to reach 63.4 by 2072.[1] This will counteract some of the trends mentioned earlier, like rapid rise in GDP and a large impact on the global economy.

Current we should not, birth rates get only a small aside in the body. If sources have began discussing the issue with more weight in general coverage of South Korea (eg. impacts on the economy), this should be built into the body and the sources/body will make the case for lead changes.

Sejong City[edit]

I would recommend adding Sejong-si as the de facto capital of South Korea to the infobox.

The South Korean government has been moving ministries to the city ever since they have announced plans for a new capital (I could've not noticed a comment about Sejong in the infobox). Felleno (talk) 10:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
