Rising house prices, a toxic save-face culture, encouragement of plastic surgery for girls on their 18th birthday, and feminism. It should come as a surprise to no one that South Korea has the same issues as Japan of an aging population and a generation of young girls who are too picky for a Mr. Right or young men who just want out of the marriage court system.
It seems that lower fertility rate may also trend towards a higher female suicide rate, with South Korea leading the female suicide rate (15.4% as of recent) per country. Women are built to raise and nurture kids and if they can't, statistics show that they would rather kill themselves than live alone at old age with a bunch of pets.
You are right. I should rephrase that part to "South Korea has the same issues as Japan...and is somehow doing even worse than the land of herbivore men".

Japan's fertility is around 1.4, similar or higher than most Europeans' Fertility.
It's bad, but not South Korea "turbo speed collective suicide by non-reproduction" bad.
