suicide-pandemic Suicide deaths in S. Korea rise nearly 9 pct in H1 SEOUL, Sept. 10 (Yonhap) -- Suicide deaths in South Korea rose about 9 percent on-year in the first half of the year, as underprivileged people are suffering more in their efforts to return to pre-pandemic normalcy, a local suicide prevention agency said Sunday. A total of 6,936 people committed suicide in Korea between January and June, up 8.8 percent from 6,375 suicide deaths in the same period last year, due mainly to financial difficulties after years of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Korea Foundation for Suicide Prevention (KFSP).
