Seonglae ChoKorea has a particularly severe problem with restricting freedom of expression. For example, there are social media movements that try to strip public figures of their positions when they make controversial statements. This kind of social execution by the community is a harmful culture. We should strive to become a society that is tolerant of mistakes, with the belief that punishment should be left to the law.

The downside of cancel culture is that it eliminates signals. Rather than fighting, it's important to express feelings of discomfort or disappointment. When others express such feelings, instead of being defensive and pretending everything is fine, we should continuously try to find compromises and understand each other's feelings. This way, we can develop character assets through consistent feedback in society. For example, consider puppies raised in groups where they play and interact with each other versus puppies raised alone in cages. When adopted, puppies raised in isolation may bite children or cause serious problems.
