SEOUL  The Korean government south  was initiated new legislation to reduce the rampant opium use internet, following the death of a child aged three months for negligent parents. Jae-Beom Kim and Kim Yun-jeong, they threatened to jail for being guilty of neglecting her daughter who was three months. Her son died of malnutrition. Apparently, his parents rarely fed him for being too busy dwelling on the Internet. That couples prefer to keep the child in a virtual online gaming rather than maintaining their own biological child. All this is because both have been addicted to playing online.

“This is a big enough phenomenon that occurred throughout the history of the internet in South Korea. Addictions are almost the same with drink and drugs addiction, such as a requirement that makes the person back again to the internet many times,” said Professor of Clinical Forensic Psychology at Monash University James Ogloff, was quoted by ABC Net, Monday (12/4/2010). South Korean government predicts there is approximately two million Internet users, or approximately 9 percent of the total number of South Korean Internet users, who fall into the category of addiction.

Jae-beom and Yun-jeong reportedly often visit the center online game named PC Bang in Seoul, almost similar to an internet cafe. In Seoul, the popularity of the PC Bang is pretty big. Even the South Korean government plans to introduce software that is capable of handling approximately 8.8 percent of internet users are addicted. One software includes programs to turn off the internet when consultation is not required, and another one is software that can create an online gamer to feel exhausted after a few minutes to play internet.
