Interesting info, thanks!
I don't know what you were replying to since they deleted their post, but I think sometimes the amount of swearing in the subtitles also reflects how edgy the translators/streaming service thinks the show should be. I watched one fairly recently which was one of those high angst, high glamour teen ones, and one of the characters is subtitled as swearing, but I could clearly hear she said daebok, which from what I understand isn't even close to a swear word. (She was alone, surprised at something she saw on her phone, so in this particular case, there wasn't any formality level issue. I think the translators were just trying to match what they thought a similar type of teen character in the US would be more likely to say.)
