“I’m not thinking about games now, so maybe this will help,” he replied. “From now on, maybe I’ll just spend five hours a day online.”

You're getting there, kid.

It has become a national issue here in recent years, as users started dropping dead from exhaustion after playing online games for days on end. A growing number of students have skipped school to stay online, shockingly self-destructive behavior in this intensely competitive society.


Wow, I'm not even that bad.

As a Korean who grew up in these environments this is standard drills in bootcamp for teens, and they have classes in school that do these exact same drills too. I think you guys over dramatize the emotional impact on these kids.

Not if we're opposed to the strictness of compulsory education in general. And by we I mean me.
