The shutdown system has been pointed out as an unreasonable regulation such as the night curfew system.
The Digital Times will be held at COEX, Seoul, Game industry regulatory trap or sail `, and discussed the pros and cons of the shutdown for the game industry and the relaxation of restrictions on online game settlement.
The shutdown system is designed to forcibly block online game access for adolescents under the age of 16 from midnight to 6 am. The limit of payment is 500,000 won for adults and 70,000 won per month for online games. Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Byeong-gwan, who held the pavilion ahead of the debate, criticized the shutdown system, saying it was a regulation such as "prohibition of night traffic" in the past.
Kim said, "The easiest way to prevent crime is to control people out of the house like the nighttime curfew system of the Yushin era, but it is not desirable, and other social efforts to resolve the problem should be used to find solutions. The current shutdown system is such a nighttime curfew regulation that if kids do not have the right to learn or sleep, they have to think about ways to solve it, but they only have to control the game access. " .
Kim`s argument is that games such as movies, novels, and cartoons should be regarded as cultural contents, and social problems that arise in relation to games should be shifted to coping with post-regulation rather than pre-regulation. In addition, Cho Hyun-rae, director of the content policy department, emphasized the cultural value of the game through the keynote speech `Game industry that takes on the wings of the fourth industrial revolution`. Cho said, "The game is a real culture so that 70% of the people have used the game. Especially, 88% of the teenagers who are the leaders of the future society are familiar with the game. The government is focusing on enhancing the diversity of the game industry ecosystem, including support for indie game creators, in order to enhance the cultural value of games.
In the following discussion, Professor Hwang Sung-ki, professor of law at Hanyang University, discussed the pros and cons of shutdown and relaxation of settlement limits. Lee Jae Hong is the director of the Korean Game Association, Kwon Tae Kwon, director of the policy development team at the Korea Contents Agency, and Kang Shin-cheol, president of the Korea Game Industry Association, stressed the need for deregulation. On the other hand, professor Choi Hyun-sun and the director of KNHC and the director of KNNU play media media education center pointed out that they should keep shutdown and settlement limit with minimum devices for protecting the youth.
