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?
