This addiction is defined as spending more than seven hours a day using the phone and experiencing symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia and depression when cut off from the device. 韩国政府说道，该国有五分之一的学生沉溺于智能手机。Lee Yun-soo就是其中一个。
这种上瘾的定义是，每天用于手机的时间多达七个小时，并在无法用于手机时经常出现情绪、嗜睡、情绪低落等症状。Earlier this month, the South Korean government said it plans to provide nationwide counseling programs for youngsters by the end of the year and train teachers on how to deal with students with addiction. Taxpayer-funded counseling treatment here is already exists for adult addicts. 本月早些时候，韩国政府说道计划在今年年内向青少年获取全国性的心理咨询项目，并培训教师如何应付上瘾学生。韩国早已有针对成年成瘾者的公费心理治疗。South Korea, home to the worlds biggest smartphone maker, Samsung Electronics, prides itself on being the global leader in high-speed Internet and advanced mobile technology.

For comparison, the smartphone penetration rate in the U.S. was 50% as of June, according to the International Telecommunication Union. 韩国的手机渗透率多达100%，也就是说一些人有好比一部手机，而其中智能手机占到了近三分之二，在这种情况下，韩国政府于是以采取措施，应付这种大规模手机持有人量所带给的问题。相比之下，国际电信联盟(International Telecommunication Union)的数据表明，截至今年6月美国的智能手机渗透率为50%。
Korea has had problems with online-game addiction among teenagers for years thanks to widespread availability of high-speed Internet services. Now that smartphone penetration among teens and children is rising at a faster pace than other groups, the age at which people find it hard to wean themselves from a smartphone is getting lower. 由于韩国高速互联网服务的广泛应用于，多年来仍然有青少年沉溺于在线游戏的问题。如今智能手机在青少年和儿童中的渗透率下降速度低于其他人群，沉溺于智能手机者的年龄也越来越低。The smartphone penetration rate in children ages 6 to 19 tripled to 65% last year from a year earlier, according to the Korea Communications Commission.

As well as distracting students from their studies, experts say it is damaging interpersonal skills. 专家说道，智能手机除了让学生们在自学时分心，还伤害了人际关系能力。Students today are very bad at reading facial expressions, said Setsuko Tamura, a professor of applied psychology at Tokyo Seitoku University.
