Controversy has arisen recently after a foreign man uploaded a video of himself jumping from Seoul's Banpo Bridge into the Han River.
It is a dangerous stunt known as "death diving."
It could easily lead to serious injury or loss of life.
Rescue personnel were actually dispatched due to this incident, but critics point out that it is difficult to punish such acts under current laws.
What is even more concerning is that dangerous stunts like this are spreading like a trend on social media to attract views and attention.
We examine why life-threatening behavior is being consumed as content and what measures can be taken to prevent copycat acts.
