South Korea has one of the highest population densities. Almost every country with a higher density is a micro state or a small island. In the long run this might not be a bad thing. Sure there will probably be an economic collapse or something, but that won’t be the end of South Korea. Once they crawl out of the economic rubble they will probably have a healthier economy. And by that time robotics will be running a major part of the economy even in the health care system.

Bro, South Korea literally climbed out of economic rubble a generation ago...like literally within the last 50-60 years. I don't think they've gotten over the generational trauma from that yet, if we look at the hypercompetition over their limited social resources.
