선진국 유럽이 에어컨도 못 트는데…한국 지하철 탄 유럽인이 뱉은 한마디 | 유럽 폭염·에어컨 신분제 #경제

In Europe, where temperatures have exceeded 40 degrees, the distinction between having air conditioning has shifted from a matter of "having it or not" to "who can turn it on." It was revealed that at the EU Commission headquarters, which oversees European policy, the air conditioning was turned off for general staff on the lower floors during the peak of the heatwave, while the offices of high-ranking officials on the upper floors remained cool. Employees working there went so far as to describe the situation as "feudalism" and "shameful." However, on the other side of the globe in Korea, cool breezes have become a given for everyone—whether in subways, convenience stores, banks, or even street cooling shelters. Foreign media and visitors to Korea have belatedly begun to look with curiosity at this "air conditioning equality," which is intricately laid out on cheap electricity rates. This video offers a balanced look at where Europe's "air conditioning caste system" originated, why air conditioning in Korea is so equal, and the shadows hidden beneath that cheap coolness. Today, you will see in a new light the true value of the air conditioner remote control button you pressed without thinking.
