On the 23rd, a video titled "What Happens When You Live in a PC Bang for 100 Hours" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Go Jaeyoung.' YouTuber Go Jaeyoung said, "I charged 100 hours at the PC bang," adding, "This computer has to turn off for me to be able to go home." He mentioned that he doesn't usually visit PC bangs often and initially spent his time watching YouTube videos and movies. In particular, he even had meals with the high-quality PC bang food that recently led people to say, "You could live in a PC bang."

He also enjoyed games like Diablo and League of Legends (LoL). Around 3 a.m., at the 20-hour mark of living in the PC bang, he tried to sleep sitting on a PC bang chair. However, due to the noise from people around and the chair being unsuitable for sleeping, he couldn't fall into a deep sleep. After that, he spent his time repeating watching videos, eating, and playing games.

Then, at the 59-hour mark of living in the PC bang, he suddenly experienced panic symptoms. Go Jaeyoung said, "I felt tightness in my chest and had difficulty breathing, so I left the PC bang and even went into a nearby storage room," adding, "The sound of typing and people cursing made me feel suffocated for a moment." He continued, "I couldn't sleep properly and my condition was very bad, but people kept shouting, so my stress suddenly spiked," explaining, "I don't know the exact reason, but I think I became very sensitive because I kept worrying about other people's gazes." He also added, "Eating ramen, sleeping, and playing games here made me feel like I wasn't living a full life," saying, "In short, my self-esteem plummeted."

Eventually, he ended the challenge at the 72-hour mark of living in the PC bang. Go Jaeyoung said, "I thought this challenge would be very easy, but I don't want to stay here any longer," adding, "My usual lifestyle involves seeing sunlight, but being in an underground PC bang for three days made me feel depressed in many ways." He continued, "I think this challenge was very incompatible with my temperament," and said, "As soon as I left, the tightness in my chest immediately disappeared."

Netizens who watched this challenge responded with comments such as, "If there had been games to play for 100 hours, he might have endured it," "Setting games aside, it must be hard not being able to rest properly," "I like how he gave up when he reached his limit," "Since panic symptoms might have appeared temporarily due to the environment, it would be good to take a rest period," and "It's a fresh challenge."
