South Korea's Happiness Factory offers a "confinement experience" for parents of hikikomori children, individuals who have withdrawn from society. Parents participate in a 13-week program, funded by NGOs Korea Youth Foundation and Blue Whale Recovery Centre, to learn better communication skills. A three-day stay in a solitary confinement-like cell aims to help parents understand their children's emotional state and address the growing isolation among young people in the country.
