Feeling completely burnt out at work? This competition might be just for you.
The Associated Press reported that about 50 people in Seoul participated in the "2022 Han River Space-Out Competition" in a championship bid to do literally nothing.
For 90 minutes, participants were expected to sit on their blue mats and just zone out. Every fifteen minutes, their heart rates were checked as it's one of the criteria for judging in the competition.
Before the start of the competition, players were made to write the reasons behind their participation on a wall poster provided in the event.
Gestures and other activities such as talking, laughing, checking their phones, and even falling asleep were prohibited during the competition. Anyone seen doing those would be disqualified from the contest.
However, contestants were permitted to take water and bathroom breaks, provided they hold up a card to request these short breaks and were acknolwedged by the organizers.
To end the competition, the one with the most stable and steady heartbeat among the ten players chosen by the audience was crowned as the winner.
Thirty-year-old TV producer, Kim Myeong-yeop recently took the title of being the best man at doing nothing as he bagged the the top prize for spacing out in the competition on September 18, Sunday.
The first International Space-Out Competition was held on October 17, 2014 in Seoul, South Korea. South Korean artist WoopsYang originally designed the unique competition to let people enjoy a break after being overworked.
The next Space-Out competition will be held at Silheung Gaetgol Festival in South Korea on September 24-25, 2022.
