ahhhh ik where this is going....bear farms r rlly bad in korea....
basically, bear bile is used in certain traditional medicine, so there's farms in korea to harvest it (without killing the bears now, but they live in horrible conditions). there's a lot of humanitarian groups that made an agreement w bear farms to let ppl feed them and clean their cages in turn for not trying to free them, so i think the mc used to volunteer w one of these groups (?). last i heard korea is trying to put a total end to it, but it's still ongoing :(









young-soo imo isn't a real name...it means apology so i wonder if he picked that name? i myself named one of my characters young-su tomayto tomahto. maybe it is a real name but as a korean ive never actually met someone w that name
Young-soo (also spelled Young-su or Yeong-su) is a popular Korean unisex given name, most commonly used for boys, with meanings often derived from Hanja characters as "eternal/forever" (Young) and "outstanding/excellent" or "long life" (Soo). It signifies "perpetual beauty" or "keeping prosperity".
I Searched it on Google, maybe coz of it's meaning?
Also you're Korean? woah
ohh interesting. i prob shouldve just googled it instead of jumping to conclusions just cuz idk anyone w that name jk then my theory holds nothing ahahaha
