South Korea: the birth-place of video game addiction.
Korea’s internet addiction crisis is getting worse, as teens spend up to 88 hours a week gaming
In 2011, the government passed the "Cinderella Act," commonly known as the "Shutdown Law," which prevents children under the age of 16 from accessing gaming websites between midnight and 6 a.m. Under the system, anyone in South Korea wishing to log into those sites must enter their age-encoded national I.D.
Of course, the overnight gaming ban has its flaws. Some kids will use their parents' I.D.s to hop online — a pretty amateur hack. When that system fails to "save kids from themselves," some parents employ an alternative defense mechanism: internet rehabilition.
