Monster Parents were not unique in Hong Kong.

"Monsutā pearento" phoned the teachers inappropriate time to exert pressure over the teaching staff and even their school principals to improve their unfair treatment over their child.

Even worse, they threaten their teaching staff for the reasons of giving their child  a unreasonably low grading in the examinations or for not giving their child a remarkable star in school performance (Pulvers, 2012).

Under the Lens of South Korea: Monster Parents

The parents of Korea were conceived to be forced to become monster parents because entering into the university was the only way for their child to enter the upper tier of the society (Chan, 2012).

The South Korea Parents forced their child into "Hagwons" which were a private, profit making academic school which was popular in South Korea.  They designed the fully-utilized studying timetable for their kids and prepared high nutrient food for them (Chan, 2012).
