Korea has one of the fastest aging populations in the world, and also has the lowest birthrate among OECD countries (0.78 children born per woman). Korea used to be an agricultural-based society, but in the 1960s-1970s, young people started to head to larger cities for better education and job opportunities. Rural populations have been steadily declining since, and Gamul township in Goesan county, North Chungcheong province (where Kyuho's grandpa lives) is one of the hardest hit areas.
