South Korean culture places a lot of importance in your appearance and reputation. If you step out of line, you pretty much get crucified by the public. I think with the rise of social media, there is a rise of cyberbullying, and it's even easier for your reputation to be ripped to shreds. This will affect not just the individual, but his or her family.
A good example of this is the South Korean rapper Tablo. A baseless rumour blew up into him going into hiding, into his family being harassed. It's pretty insane.
I can't say for sure that this is the reason why it's going up, but I won't be surprised if this is one of the factors. South Korea rates high in social media usage
