I think there would be certain benefits to Korean people going extinct because Statist Confucianism is bad

But I would rather that they abandon Statist Confucianism and do not go extinct

You can use die in expressions such as "I almost died" or "I'd die if anything happened" where you are emphasizing your feelings about a situation, for example, to say that it is very shocking, upsetting, embarrassing, or amusing.
[informal, mainly spoken, emphasis]
I nearly died when I read what she'd written about me. 그녀가 나에 대해서 쓴 글을 읽었을때 나는 거의 죽을 뻔 했다., I nearly died of shame. 창피해서 죽고 싶은 심정이었다., I thought I'd die laughing. 나는 포복절도할 것으로 생각했다

Korean has a lot of phrases about dying

Korea also has one of the highest suicide rates per person in the world

This is not a coincidence

How do you say this in Korean?

"It's so cute I'm gonna die!!"

"너무 귀여워서 죽을것 같아!"

"Korean people use the verb [to die] very easily and commonly in their daily lives. I think it might look a little strange and scary to foreigners who are not familiar with Korean culture. After all, the verb [to die] is not a soft or cute expression.

However, to Koreans, expressions such as ‘ I’m going to die ’ and ‘ I’m going to die ’ are not at all harsh or scary expressions.
It's just a way of emphasizing it."
