"Hell Joseon" is illustrated by a map of whole Korean Peninsula painted in the colour of hell's fire.

Hell Joseon, Hell Chosun or Hell Korea (Korean: 헬조선) is a satirical South Korean term that criticizes the current socioeconomic state of Korea.[1] The term is particularly popular with the younger Korean generation, one of whose major concerns is related to the unemployment and working conditions (including harsh treatment of employees due to Korean Confucianism and greed).[2] The term was coined around 2015.
