Look in to opportunities to study abroad, I know that my university has several opportunities available, this could be an option in the future. See if there’s any homestay or exchange student programs, start reading up about Korea and looking into things online. If none of those options are available maybe you can plan a trip there, give yourself some time to get things sorted out! Start expressing your interest in Korea to your family, you never know they could support your dreams! Good luck with everything, I hope you get to visit Korea! Feel free to message me and let me know how things work out.

Having life-aspirations for traveling and appreciating other cultures is normal and healthy, but chooseing a path because you hate something else can lead to disappointment or be unfulfilling. I don't have any advice for you. I know that being 14 can be hard, and that leaving your family may sound appealing, but that is a big decision that needs a lot of consideration. Sometimes it is easy to see what we don't like about a situation, but that is rarely the whole picture. What is it about your family members that you appreciate? What would you lose in your life if you left?
