Unexpected Encounters at Folk Village... Reviews Pour In About "Crying Children"

"If you don't listen to your mom, the ghost is going to take you away."

I think many of us were so frightened by words like that when we were little.

Videos of ghost characters at a folk village scaring children and making them promise to stop being picky eaters are currently drawing widespread attention.

The routine typically involves parents telling a ghost about their child's picky eating habits, tantrums, or disobedience. The ghost then confronts the child, saying things like, "I'm going to take you away if you don't behave," and asks, "You're going to listen to your mom and dad from now on, right?"

Children can be seen nodding with terrified expressions or even bursting into tears.

Videos of these interactions are repeatedly being shared online.

The phenomenon has even led to the coining of the expression "ghost discipline."

Follow-up reviews detailing changes in the children's behavior afterward are also continuing to surface.

Netizens have reacted with amusement, leaving comments such as, "I guess I need to take my kid to the folk village whenever they misbehave," and "Ghost words work better than a mother's words."

However, concerns are simultaneously being raised by some over whether using fear to correct children's behavior is an appropriate approach.
