In the early 2000s there was a report about a South Korean man who died from a heart attack after playing video games for 50 hours in a PC bang where he barely slept and ate. He was also fired from his job because he didn’t show up to work due to him playing computer games.

In a survey that was done in 2018 the South Korean Government got a rough estimate that 10 million people were at risk of Internet Addiction. The World Health Organization (WHO) added Video game addiction into its disorder list back in 2019. The South Korean government has set up ways to offer help like counseling and even addiction camps.
