The contestants' heart rate is checked every 15 minutes to make sure they are in a state of absolute tranquility ; The person who takes the victory, is the one with the most stable heart rate.There is a live sports commentator who narrates the event for the spectators.If the participants feel uncomfortable, if someone is thirsty or needs to go to the bathroom, they can do an application. This year, Shin Hyo-Seob, a local rapper, took the gold .He was one of the last contestants who managed to spend more time doing nothing and who had a more stable heart rate than all of them.

South Korea, in particular, has one of the most stressed populations in the world, so the need to raise awareness of those who suffer from this daily anxiety.
