Sợ cảm giác trống vắng mỗi ngày mỗi lớn

Some South Korean youth are so cut off from the world (cắt đứt khỏi thế giới), the government (Chính ohur) is offering to pay them to “re-enter society.”

The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family announced (thông báo) this week that it will provide up to 650,000 Korean won (about $500) per month to isolated social recluses (người ẩn dật), in a bid to support their “psychological and emotional stability (tâm lý và tình cảm ổn định) and healthy growth.”

About 3.1% of Koreans aged 19 to 39 are “reclusive lonely young people,” defined as living in a “limited space, in a state of being disconnected from the outside for more than a certain period of time, and have noticeable difficulty in living a normal life,” according to the ministry’s report, citing the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs.
