- Abstract:
The article discusses the problem of gaming addiction in South Korea. It cites several cases including a 21-year-old gaming addict who was found dead in July 2011 after complaining of breathing problems due to severe lack of sleep, and a 28-year-old man who died of organ failure in 2005 after playing online games for 50 hours straight. The article notes the Korean Government's implementation of the Gaming Shutdown Law in November 2011 which seeks to ban underage gamers from playing online.
