South Korea has abolished its curfew for younger players because mostly only see Tiktok videos at night anyway.
South Korea has abolished its law that prevents minors from playing late at night. The Closing Law, as it was called, forbade any of 16 years of age to play between midnight hours and 6 in the morning.
The law was approved as part of the Youth Protection Review Law in 2011 after a series of deaths in the mid-final of the 2000s related to the addiction to MMOs. A man spent 50 hours playing Starcraft in a cybercafé before dying of a heart attack. The law was intended to ensure that children would sleep at least six hours each night.
As Kotaku reported, both PSN and Xbox followed the law and disconnected the networks of their consoles for minor players between midnight hours and 6 a.m. In addition, there were possible fines of up to 10 million won (approximately $ 8,500) and up to two days in prison if they were discovered violating the law.
