Reply to comment by SkokieRob in TIL in response to infamously high suicide rates at Mapo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea, the bridge was adorned with suicide prevention messages and uplifting photos. These measures weren't enacted by the government, however, instead the entire project was financed by Samsung's life insurance division by evilclownattack

That's only if it's within the first 2 years of getting the policy, if it's done after 2 years the insurance companies are legally required to pay out.

I know you're probably joking, but on the offchance you're not, PM me if you ever want to talk. I've been down the road of suicidal ideation and found a way to hang on, I can share tips and what I found helpful

Edit: Thank you to the nice person who reached out to Reddit Cares for me, to clarify I'm okay and not currently suicidal

I had my life insurance license in the US, but a quick Google search showed me the Suicide exclusion clause in South Korea is also 24 months.
