The South Korean Government is concerned with growing internet addiction among young people and considers banning youngsters from playing online games past midnight. South Korea is one of the world's most wired societies, and the government estimates that there are over two million web addicts in South Korea.


A bill to be submitted to parliament as early as this month will require South Korean online game companies to cut off services at midnight for users registered as younger than 16, the culture and family ministries said.
