SBS's "It's a Secret" program is a very famous investigative documentary in South Korea.
Recently aired SBS documentary program "It's a Secret" covered the story of young people living in 'garbage houses'. The program highlighted the lives of young people who are living in isolation and seclusion, and explored the background and causes of why they were driven to this point.
Living alone in a 'trash house'
In a life of isolation
Young people who live a life like they are trapped in an isolated space have their homes filled with garbage due to many unnecessary items. Most of these young people are said to be in a state of severe depression or burnout, and they don't even have the strength to clean their homes. The broadcast showed a situation where a woman in her 20s was trapped in a pile of garbage because she couldn't clean her home for years due to her lethargy.
Why do young people's garbage houses occur?
This phenomenon is rapidly increasing, especially among young people in their 20s and 30s. Due to job failures or difficulties in interpersonal relationships, they have become isolated and are experiencing severe mental difficulties, losing even the strength to clean their homes. The program confessed that a young man who lived in a garbage house had no energy to throw away trash due to work stress and lethargy.
Determination to clean, a new beginning
Fortunately, some young people are making a fresh start by resolving to clean. The broadcast showed a young man who received help from a cleaning company to clean his garbage house and find hope for a new start. After cleaning, he expressed his desire to go on a sea trip again, which he had forgotten for a long time.
Isolation and seclusion, emerging as a social issue
The phenomenon of young people's garbage houses is emerging as a social problem, not just a personal issue. According to a recent government survey, 5 out of 100 young people are experiencing isolation and seclusion issues, and they feel even more lonely because they have difficulty communicating with their families. The lack of a social support system and mental difficulties are acting as one of the main reasons why they live in garbage houses.
Conclusion
"It's a Secret" shed light on the pain hidden in isolation and seclusion through the stories of young people living in garbage houses. Their problems show that more than just cleaning up garbage, they need social support and mental support. We all need to pay attention and make efforts so that young people can find hope again and connect with society.
