The Destiny of the Shutdown LawOpinion Divided Between Congress & MOGEF

On June 24th, a shocking event caused Korean teens to go mad. Minecraft, one of the most famous games among them, had been changed to a Rated R game and they were not able to play it anymore. How did a game that was rated 10+ by the Korean ESRB suddenly change to an adult game? The Shutdown Law is behind the scenes of this change.

The Shutdown Law is a Korean Law that was suggested by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and passed by the Congress, which restricted Korean teens below 16 to not play online games from midnight till 6 A.M. It was an attempt to promote healthy gaming habits and prevent students from staying up all night. However, because of this law, teens were banned from playing Minecraft at all.

Minecraft was originally developed by a company named Mojang. In 2014, Microsoft took over Mojang, which made Minecraft their property as well. This year, Microsoft changed its account policies. Instead of using a Mojang account to play Minecraft, players had to now use an Xbox Live account that was created by Microsoft. As the Minecraft account had been switched, it became a problem together with the Shutdown Law. As the Shutdown Law was only valid in Korea, Microsoft needed to separate Korean Minecraft users from other countries. As creating a Korean server would be too expensive for the company, Microsoft had no choice but to make Minecraft itself rated R and inaccessible for teen players.

Opinions had split on how Korea should deal with the Shutdown Law that caused this situation. The Democratic Party’s MP Jun, MP Kang, and MP Kwon are quickly  promoting repeal or amendment. Since the law’s first enactment in 2011, the teens who had been affected by this law have become eligible to vote for these MPs. Therefore, through support, the repeal of the Shutdown Law may be hastened. On the other hand, the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family only wants amendments and no repeals. Parent civic groups are in total denial of both repeal and amendment. Still, the Gender Equality and Family Committee, the group that is in charge of this law, is positively considering repeal.
