Is Computer Gaming Killing People In South Korea?

Addiction - you must have said - what an overrated word. Isn't it?
You must have heard that that addiction is always bad, whatever it is. Well, that's true. South Korea's young generation and upcoming countryman are facing the same issue. But surprisingly this addiction is not related to alcohol or any other drugs. South Korean kids are addicted to something that is so under-rated problem and not considered as an addiction but just a way of refreshing mind and pass time. It's Computer Gaming.



Yess. Computer gaming in South Korea is harsh but a real threat. The kids, especially between the age group of 10-19 are trapped in computer gaming. Around 50% kid in South Korea spent more than 23 hours in a week. In the US if a kid spent 14 hours in a week on computer gaming than he considered as a game addict. But South Korean Govt. didn't consider this issue serious enough in its early stage. Even in an interview with Vice a kid admitted that he plays video game 20 hours a day.

Although govt. of Korea Passed a Cinderella act. that states children under the age of 16 can't access computer gaming sites from midnight to 6 a.m. Of course, overnight game banning must face some shortcoming issues. Kids start using their parents I.D. card to access the game websites. And when this new law failed than parents approached a new way to save their kids that is-internet rehabilitation. One-quarter of the kids diagnosed with internet addiction. now the facility is reaching to all govt. hospitals.



Well, I hope that South Korean gamers will enjoy their life in an actual way than video games and come and face real-life problems and fight than of an animated world.
