Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Authors,

This was a very interesting read that adresses very important issue of stress among young Korean population, and this isn't a secret that the issue is there and needs to be faced. The methodology used is suitable, and the results (in general) support the conclusions. However, few changes have to be made before the article is suitable for publication in IJERPH.

1. English changes are required. The style here and there is not very good and could be improved by an English collegue or online language improving tools.
2. Were the questionnaires used validated for Korean language? If yes, please state so in the methodology section. If no, please state so in the study limitations section.
3. Please remember that this is INTERNATIONAL Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Please check the manuscript if you have explained to the international audience what do certain Korean stuff mean, for example - what is Statistics Korea? Is this a national office, or some kind of NGO? Everything needs to be clear for international viewers.
4. I think that citing articles in conlusion is a flaw that needs to be fixed. Please revise the conlusions section so it contains only what you directly conclude from the results presented.

Good luck revising the article. I think it will fit very well to IJERPH after the comments above will get addressed. 

Best Regards,

Reviewer
