“Do-Nothing Competition” created by artist to combat stress and overstimulation

During the 90-minute-long event, contestants are banned from doing anything other than spacing out. If you fall asleep, start laughing, or use technology, you’re disqualified. Contestants’ heart rates are checked every 15 minutes to ensure that they are in a state of chill; the person with the most stable heart rate wins. There’s a live sportscaster who narrates the event to onlookers. If contestants feel discomfort—say, if someone gets thirsty or needs to use the bathroom—they can hold up one of several cards to make a request.

This year, Shin Hyo-Seob, a local rapper who goes by Crush, took the gold. He was among the last remaining competitors and had the steadiest heart rate of them all, making him the most spaced-out. “I was really determined to win,” he told VICE. “I practiced at home.” (Jiwon Kim, VICE)
