It’s a statistical fact that developing country, South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. The country is said to be giving its people lessons on how to appreciate life – by shutting them inside coffins.
According to Mirror.uk, the bizarre idea has seen major companies ask workers to lie down in wooden coffins, then the lids are closed.
Those taking part are expected to ‘play dead’ for around 10 minutes. Enclosed in darkness, they are left to contemplate the meaning of their existence.
An individual who partook said:
After the coffin experience, I realised I should try to live a new style of life,” one worker, Cho Yong-tae, told the BBC as he emerged from a casket.
“I’ve realised I’ve made lots of mistakes. I hope to be more passionate in all the work I do and spend more time with my family.”
