Korea’s Protest Culture

Here is an interesting article from Yahoo News that talks about the protest culture in Korea. Here is a sample:

Down the street from the Japanese embassy protest, a group of about 20 South Korean victims of World War Two and their relatives demanded more compensation from the government.

Less than a minute away, a solitary man was holding a protest in front of a mobile telephone company over a high telephone bill he says led his son to suicide.

At the next building, there was a protest against an insurance company over perceived unfair practices.

Those protesters would change places at the spot by the nearby U.S. embassy with a new group of demonstrators attempting to thwart free trade negotiations between Seoul and Washington.

Diagonally across the street, Chinese residents of South Korea were protesting at a building that houses Taiwan’s mission, while a group of Taiwanese faced the crowd of about 100 and held their own signs in protest against the protesters.

“Protests are just a part of life in Seoul,” shrugged one police official.

What I am wondering is how is the cell phone company responsible for the suicide of someone with a high phone bill?
