So human trafficking persists even then... I suppose there's corruption that you cannot hope to fade out as people gain more technologies and capabilities.
[even then - he seems to be taking the problem seriously, examining it like a puzzle that's been brought before him. he continues to practice with the dumpling even as he hums in thought]
What a difficult system... even with the abolishment of the monarchy, a different set of issues persist. [he frowns] I never thought a perfect life would be able to be molded...
But it would be nice, if the luxury of others did not come at the expense of the downtrodden.
Hm... Well, it's steadily improving. Our borders were weak and the previous king had much of our land stolen from us, inviting invasions on multiple sides. However, we've managed to negotiate deals in order to have the areas to our South become vassal states, so we no longer need to worry about aggression.
The North border is the one that troubles me the most currently...
But I think it can be taken care of shortly. In the meantime it's eradicating traces of drug abuse in the Southwest, and alleviating the burden of poor climate and low crop yields in the Northeast.
The leadership of all areas has steadily improved, and I like going on the occasional trip to visit them for myself, just to see if I can help nudge them in better directions - that respond to the needs of the people.

[This makes him frown considerably, but he keeps working regardless. He shows Soo-Won how to fill the pockets of dumplings.]
That would be nice, yes. It's difficult to obtain a society in perfect harmony. Yours isn't much different, is it? Right now, at least.
