On October 27, the first ever 'Space-out Competition' took place at the Seoul Plaza!  Fifty people turned out for a successful first event for the simple purpose of just spacing out without thinking about anything.


The people sponsoring event stated, "It is an experience in which you really distance yourself from the stress of a quick-paced and competitive society."  The criteria for this competition was to do nothing and be as still as possible.  The winner would be the person with the most stable and steady heart rate, which would be the measuring instrument for this competition.


People who were doing anything but spacing out, whether they were listening to music, on their phones, reading, sleeping, or dozing off, were eliminated.  However, scratching your head, picking your nose, scratching your leg, and the like were allowed.

As the whole competition was updated onto SNS in real-time, it received even more attention.  Seeing the event, netizens said, "I think I could do better than that," and, "I think if I saw this in person, it would have been kind of funny."


In the end, the winner was nine-year-old elementary school student, Miss Yang! Congratulations!  Would you go to such an event?  Better yet, do you think you could win?
