Recently, comedian Lee Jin-ho confessed to illegal online gambling on social media and shocked me by mentioning that he borrowed a large amount of money from celebrities around him.
Currently, the police have launched a pre-book investigation into Lee Jin-ho,
The age group addicted to
online gambling has been shown to be decreasing.
Adolescents who received healing and counseling related to gambling addiction have gradually increased, exceeding 2,000 last year, and this year, only the number counted until last August has already exceeded last year's level,
Adolescents with the most serious grade of the
gambling risk level account for the highest percentage of the year.
Shall we look at the age group?
17-19 years old, so the number of high school student gambling addiction healing and counseling service users has increased, but the rate has decreased.
14-16 year olds and middle school students are raising concerns as both the number and percentage of users are increasing significantly.
Cyber gambling aimed at teenagers like this, and preventive education from school seems important.
[Cho Kye-won / Minjoo Party member: The younger you are, the harder it is to cure addiction. That's why it's essential that we don't fall into gambling addiction issues related to gambling in school education or preventive education... In connection with the Ministry of Education, preliminary education or preventive measures are needed in this regard.
