Feeling stressed out and overwhelmed by life these days? If you're in Seoul then you're in luck as 'Seoul Rage Room' just popped up. This 'Rage Room' is gaining popularity among young people in their 20s, looking to relieve their pressures and stress.

The 'Rage Room' is a room filled with various props one can use to destroy while wearing protection gear such as a hard-hat helmet, safety goggles, and ear muffs.  Some props include old CRT TV's, rice cookers, printers, dishes, and more where people can smash these objects using a metal baseball bat in addition to punching the heck out of mannequin dummies. 




Depending on one's stress/rage level, the cost can range between $20-$150.

For a total of 15 minutes, one can enter the room and hit and scream all they want to their heart's desire.  


While some agree that it is a helpful tool, others have deemed it too violent of an approach and wasting away goods.


According to a Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service Center on June 8, approximately 2,859 patients between the ages of 20-30 years old have been consulted for 'hwabyung' a Korean somatization disorder, a psychological illness where one is unable to deal with his/her level of rage due to exterior forces.


The illness seems to be on the rise as the number has increased by 53% compared to 1,867 patients back in 2011, causing much concern within the community.


Netizens who watched the clip commented, "I want to go sometime," "It's a bit on the expensive side but it definitely seems worth it," showing much interest.





What do you think about this method and would you pay to destroy things in a rage room?
