Korea is doing too much right now…
Yet they still eat dogs there. Priorities…
Is this a law in North Korea?
Not sure, but I don’t think they are even allowed to go on the internet there nor could 99% of their population even afford to do so. If this is South Korea that would be pretty weird imo as they really try to mimic the U.S. in a lot of what they do and this penalty sounds overly harsh and controlling.
edit:
South Korea Makes Commercial “ Boosting ” Services Illegal in Video Games . … The act of boosting is considered an “ act of disruption to a game’s normal operations,” according to The Korea Herald. This act is punishable by either a two-year jail sentence or a fine of up to 20 million won, nearly $18,000.5 hours ago
E-sports are Korea’s number one sport, somehow this does not suprise me. It’s similar to how serious people take Steroid use in other sports now, unfair advantages etc.
