Internet addiction is no longer just a joke for some time, but a real disease, and this is because of faster and faster connections and more and more varied content. South Korea is the country with the most people addicted to the Internet, this being the country where there is also the largest number of people connected online.
More than 140.000 people in South Korea, the vast majority of them young, are addicted to the Internet, and this is a huge problem for the authorities, who do not really have solutions for the situation. Many young people end up in specialized centers that help them give up this addiction to a certain extent, but some of them relapse.
Many young people are addicted to YouTube, the social networks Facebook, Instagram, etc., but this is not exactly new at the global level. We all know that social networks generate addiction, but here in South Korea things reach a completely different level, much more dangerous, which forces young people to ask for specialized help.
"South Korea is the most connected country in the entire world. Almost everyone has a smartphone and access to the internet, but this comes with a darker side. Official figures for last year show that over 140,000 young people were addicted to the internet, but some reports suggest that this number could in fact be much higher. As a result, there are many centers across South Korea where teenagers can go to be treated for this and to receive help to get offline."
