Oh my gosh I love this! I’d be like “how long do I have to be out with people?” 😂

Whattttt..

I now identify as a lonely Korean youth. Please send $500.

that's sad :( it's good that they're taking mental health seriously, but it's sad that it's so bad that this has to be done :(

And in Oz the government pays you $300 per week to stay home and watch Netflix!

Sad. Probably rest of the world could use a similar program.

I blame the internet and smartphones for making almost everyone’s social skills worse and people’s inability to have IN person face to face conversation.
