English term or phrase: survivors used to overcoming struggles
As we travel around the area we hear talk of tough times from more or less everyone, but despite all these currents you can still sense a positive flow bubbling under the surface. The Korean people are survivors used to overcoming struggles and in their eyes you see a look of determination.

Jde o Jižní Koreu. Spíš nechápu, v jakém smyslu jsou to "survivors".
Díky předem!

Přeživší zvyklí na překonávání potíží


Explanation:
Guys, they are survivors in a sense that you shouldn't be used to change the meaning of the original sentence by using here words bojovník a oběti when there are no fighters or victims. But you are killing me and I am the fighting victim. LOL. Just kidding.

I think nezdolní could be also used instead přeživší
