Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing away from the ones who already made it.
I'm really glad I wasn't born into one of the hyper competitive Asian education systems, but on the other hand, I'm not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.
Or.. OR… grow up with parents who emigrated from one of those hyper competitive Asian places and be a little bit broken. 🙃
Because they're scared that more doctors will mean more competition and lower wages. They don't care that access to healthcare is currently difficult in Korea because in part of the lack of doctors.
Why would you protest this change?
"it was hard for me and therefore everyone else has to suffer"
I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.

Much more likely to be because their wages will be less artificially inflated once the number of doctors increases. Its the same in Canada. We limit the number of seats, rather than admitting all those who qualify to be doctors, and we have need for.
Gotta love bringing everything into the market....
