Article talks about how Gangnam mothers are heading to Canada after hearing about a law where study permits are granted to parents that enroll in public colleges which then grants their children free tuition from elementary to high school. Korean families are looking into this as an opportunity to cut down costs on having their children study abroad.

1. [+5,092, -523] Parents like them used to get hate back then... but in the hellish state Korea is in now, I just see them as people trying to escape to survive...

2. [+4,228, -175] I hope this doesn't foster anti-Korean sentiment by Canadians..

3. [+4,270, -337] Honestly I'd do it if I could do something liket his for my kid

4. [+2,798, -172] Gangnam mothers are starting the trend of escaping Hell Korea

5. [+778, -14] I'm a student studying abroad in Canada... and this is so selfish of Koreans. This law was implemented to support young mothers going back to school and it's being abused like this? That means the law will be taken back and the people who really need this support will lose it. Obviously these mothers are well off since they live in Gangnam already, stop trying to take more of what isn't yours.

6. [+538, -21] These Gangnam mothers are going to embarrass us internationally

7. [+489, -10] I think the country should step in on things like this and restrict it. It's just a nuisance to the Canadians to deal with.

8. [+385, -31] So these mothers are trying to get into Canadian colleges in their forties... to send their kids to Canadian junior and high schools.. while the poor father's back home in Korea working and living alone to support it.
