The Competition's Unique Concept
The 2025 Seogwipo Forest of Healing Space Out Competition is scheduled for June 17, 2025, at 3:00 PM. This event focuses on the practice of "spacing out," where participants aim to relax, clear their minds, and remain still. Taking place in the serene environment of the Seogwipo Forest of Healing, the competition emphasizes mental tranquility over physical activity.
The core idea involves participants sitting quietly, doing nothing, and maintaining a calm, thought-free state. A champion is determined based on criteria such as heart rate stability and audience engagement. The event presents a distinctive approach to mindfulness within a competitive format.

In an era of constant connectivity, the event underscores the value of disconnecting and allowing for mental rest. The natural tranquility of the Seogwipo Forest of Healing serves as a suitable environment for participants to engage in this practice.
The competition's format aligns with broader discussions on mental well-being and seeking balance. It functions as a public demonstration of the potential value in moments of stillness and undirected thought.
