The studio was left in total shock after hearing the story of a child suspected of suffering from “digital dementia” due to severe smartphone addiction.
In the upcoming episode of Channel A’s “My Golden Kids” airing on the 15th, the story of a 3rd-grade son who “explodes” due to dopamine addiction will be revealed.
A couple raising two sons, aged 10 and 7, appeared in the studio. It was shared that the 10-year-old Geum-jjok-i completely loses control once his emotions explode and has recently even begun showing violent behavior.
The mother opened up about her deep struggles, admitting she doesn’t know how to handle her son’s unpredictable outbursts.
What exactly is happening inside Geum-jjok-i’s home?
In a pre-release clip, Geum-jjok-i is seen throwing a tantrum to get his phone. Eventually, his mother offers a compromise, saying, “I’ll give it to you after you finish studying,” prompting him to hurriedly start his work with a tablet.
Even during mealtime, Geum-jjok-i refuses to let go of the tablet. He was seen shoving food into his mouth so quickly that he gagged, and even started eating with his hands.
Once he finally gets his hands on the phone, he is instantly absorbed in gaming.
However, shortly after, he approaches his father and calmly asks for breakfast, even though he had just finished eating, leaving his father completely bewildered.
The studio was shocked to see that his obsession with the phone was so intense that he forgot he had already eaten.
What hidden issues lie behind Geum-jjok-i’s dangerous obsession with his phone? You can find out on the 15th at 9 PM.
