Modern life can be stressful. When we aren’t busy at school or work, we are overloaded with messages and information from our cellphones. South Korea’s Space-Out Competition was founded to remind us that it’s OK to take it easy sometimes. The first Space-Out Competition was held in 2014. Since then, it has become an annual event. The purpose of the competition is to help people achieve peace of mind. It encourages people to come together and do absolutely nothing.
现代生活可能充满压力。当我们不忙于学校或工作时，我们会因手机上的讯息和资讯感到负荷过重。创立南韩发呆大赛是为了提醒我们，偶尔放轻松是没关系的。首届发呆大赛于 2014 年举办。自此之后，它已成为一年一度的赛事。该赛事的目的是帮助人们获得内心的平静。它鼓励人们聚在一起、无所事事。
