Korean students under the age of 20 are spending more leisure time alone in front of computers than with friends or family, a report by the Korea Social Research Center shows.
According to the report, based on a survey of some 28,000 elementary, middle and high school students in Korea, nearly 40 percent of the respondents said they play computer games or browse the Internet in their free time. The survey result also indicates 33 percent of Korean students play with friends when not studying, while only 15 percent spend time with family members.
Researchers explain the lack of community centers for teenagers and excessive studying leave students no options but sitting in front of computers or the televisions.
