More game addicts seek help
According to the agency [Korea Agency for Digital Opportunity and Promotion], game addicts represented the highest percentage of computer addicts undergoing counseling, followed by chatting addicts with 297 cases, Web surfing with 146, porno photos or clips with 75, and online gambling with 6 cases. "Until last year, most addicts to whom we assigned counseling were youngsters, but recently the number of adults who ask for counseling has surged," the official said.

| Only a few hundred are being treated? There are 42 million people in Korea. Obviously, these statistics serve to point out that an alarming number of Koreans who suffer from mental illnesses aren't seeking treatment. |
